Abstract

A method of controlling monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in user equipment (UE), the method including receiving wake up signal (WUS) configuration information from a base station; monitoring a WUS transmitted from the base station based on the WUS configuration information; detecting the WUS based on the monitoring; and monitoring at least one search space associated with the detected WUS.

Claims (43)

1. A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, through a radio resource control (RRC) message, information about a search space to detect wake-up information from a base station;

monitoring, based on the information about the search space, a downlink control information (DCI) including the wake-up information; and

in case that the DCI including the wake-up information is detected, monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on the wake-up information,

wherein the RRC message includes time gap information relative to start of the monitoring of the PDCCH, and

wherein the monitoring of the DCI including the wake-up information is based on the time gap information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring of the PDCCH comprises:

in case that the wake-up information indicates to perform monitoring on the PDCCH, monitoring the PDCCH for a predetermined period.

3. The method of claim 1 , in case that the wake-up information indicates to not perform monitoring on the PDCCH, the PDCCH is not monitored for a predetermined period.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a type of search space is a common search space (CSS).

5. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, via the transceiver, information about a search space to detect wake-up information from a base station through a radio resource control (RRC) message;

monitor, based on the information about the search space, a downlink control information (DCI) including the wake-up information; and

in case that the DCI including the wake-up information is detected, monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on the wake-up information,

wherein the RRC message includes time gap information relative to start of the monitoring of the PDCCH, and

wherein, to monitor the DCI including the wake-up information, the at least one processor is configured to monitor the DCI based on the time gap information.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein, to monitor the PDCCH based on the wake-up information, the at least one processor is configured to monitor the PDCCH for a predetermined period in case that the wake-up information indicates to perform monitoring on the PDCCH.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the PDCCH is not monitored for a predetermined period in case that the wake-up information indicates to not perform monitoring on the PDCCH.

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein a type of search space is a common search space (CSS).

9. A method, performed by a base station (BS), the method comprising:

transmitting, through a radio resource control (RRC) message, information about a search space to detect wake-up information to a user equipment (UE); and

transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) including the wake-up information,

wherein the DCI including the wake-up information is monitored based on the information about the search space,

wherein, in case that the DCI including the wake-up information is detected, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is monitored based on the wake-up information,

wherein the RRC message includes time gap information relative to start of the monitoring of the PDCCH, and

wherein the DCI is monitored based on the time gap information.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the PDCCH is monitored for a predetermined period in case that the wake-up information indicates to perform monitoring on the PDCCH.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the PDCCH is not monitored for a predetermined period in case that the wake-up information indicates to not perform monitoring on the PDCCH.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein a type of search space is a common search space (CSS).

13. A base station (BS) comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver, information about a search space to detect wake-up information to a user equipment (UE), through a radio resource control (RRC) message; and

transmit, via the transceiver, a downlink control information (DCI) including the wake-up information,

wherein the DCI including the wake-up information is monitored based on the information about the search,

wherein, in case that the DCI including the wake-up information is detected, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is monitored based on the wake-up information,

wherein the RRC message includes time gap information relative to start of the monitoring of the PDCCH, and

wherein the DCI is monitored based on the time gap information.

14. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the PDCCH is monitored for a predetermined period in case that the wake-up information indicates to perform monitoring on the PDCCH.

15. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the PDCCH is not monitored for a predetermined period in case that the wake-up information indicates to not perform monitoring on the PDCCH.

16. The BS of claim 13 , wherein a type of search space is a common search space (CSS).
