Method and device for monitoring physical downlink control channel, and terminal

1. A method for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the method comprises:

monitoring, by a terminal, a power saving signal, wherein the power saving signal is used to indicate whether to wake up the terminal to perform the PDCCH monitoring within an On Duration time period of a discontinuous reception (DRX); and

performing, by the terminal, the PDCCH monitoring within the On Duration time period of the DRX when the power saving signal is not detected;

wherein the method further comprises:

performing, by the terminal, the PDCCH monitoring according to an indication of the power saving signal when monitoring the power saving signal;

wherein the performing the PDCCH monitoring according to an indication of the power saving signal comprises:

performing, by the terminal, the PDCCH monitoring within the On Duration time period of the DRX when the power saving signal is a first power saving signal; and

ignoring, by the terminal, the PDCCH monitoring within the On Duration time period of the DRX when the power saving signal is a second power saving signal;

wherein after the performing, by the terminal, the PDCCH monitoring within the On Duration time period of the DRX when the power saving signal is the first power saving signal, the method further comprises:

starting, by the terminal, a target timer when an On Duration timer of the DRX expires and when not monitoring the PDCCH within the On Duration time period of the DRX, and performing the PDCCH monitoring before the target timer expires;

wherein the starting the target timer when the On Duration timer of the DRX expires, and performing the PDCCH monitoring before the target timer expires comprises:

starting a first timer when the On Duration timer of the DRX expires, and performing the PDCCH monitoring before the first timer expires, wherein the first timer is a timer that is different from a DRX-inactivity Timer;

wherein the performing, by the terminal, the PDCCH monitoring within the On Duration time period of the DRX further comprises:

performing, by the terminal, the PDCCH monitoring by adopting a first PDCCH searching space within the On Duration time period of the DRX;

wherein the performing the PDCCH monitoring before the first timer expires comprises:

performing, by the terminal, the PDCCH monitoring by adopting a second PDCCH search space before the first timer expires, wherein the second PDCCH search space is different from the first PDCCH search space.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the performing, by the terminal, the PDCCH monitoring within the On Duration time period of the DRX when the power saving signal is a first power saving signal, further comprises:

entering, by the terminal, the DRX when not monitoring the PDCCH within the On Duration time period of the DRX.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the terminal, a configuration signaling of an access network device, wherein the configuration signaling is used to configure the second PDCCH searching space; and

wherein the configuration signaling comprises radio resource control (RCC) or media access control control element (MAC CE).

4. A terminal, wherein the terminal comprises a processor, a receiver and a memory, wherein the memory stores at least one instruction, the at least one instruction, when being executed by the processor, is used to cause the processor to:

monitor a power saving signal, wherein the power saving signal is used to indicate whether to wake up the terminal to perform the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring within an On Duration time period of a discontinuous reception (DRX); and

perform the PDCCH monitoring within the On Duration time period of the DRX when the power saving signal is not detected by the processor;

wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform, when the power saving signal is detected by the processor, the PDCCH monitoring according to an indication of the power saving signal;

wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform the PDCCH monitoring within the On Duration time period of the DRX when the power saving signal is a first power saving signal; when the power saving signal is a second power saving signal, the terminal ignores the PDCCH monitoring within the On Duration time period of the DRX;

wherein the processor is further configured to:

start, when the power saving signal is the first power saving signal, after the PDCCH monitoring is performed within the On Duration time period of the DRX, when the PDCCH is not detected within the On Duration time period of the DRX, a target timer when an On Duration timer of the DRX expires, and perform the PDCCH monitoring before the target timer expires;

wherein the processor is further configured to:

start, when the power saving signal is the first power saving signal, after the PDCCH monitoring is performed within the On Duration time period of the DRX, when the PDCCH is not detected within the On Duration time period of the DRX, a first timer when the On Duration timer of the DRX expires, and perform the PDCCH monitoring before the first timer expires, wherein the first timer is a timer that is different from a DRX-inactivity Timer;

wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform the PDCCH monitoring by adopting a first PDCCH searching space within the On Duration time period of the DRX when the power saving signal is not detected by the processor;

wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform, before the first timer expires, the PDCCH monitoring by adopting a second PDCCH searching space, wherein the second PDCCH searching space is different from the first PDCCH searching space.

5. The terminal according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

when the power saving signal is the first power saving signal, after the PDCCH monitoring is performed within the On Duration time period of the DRX, when the PDCCH is not detected within the On Duration time period of the DRX, enter the DRX.

6. The terminal according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the receiver to receive a configuration signaling of an access network device, wherein the configuration signaling is used to configure the second PDCCH searching space;

wherein the configuration signaling comprises radio resource control (RCC) or media access control control element (MAC CE).
