Abstract

Claims (43)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), configuration information for downlink control information (DCI) from a base station, wherein the configuration information for the DCI comprises size information and position information; and

receiving, by the UE, a DCI format for notifying power saving information for one or more user equipments (UEs) from the base station based on the size information and the position information,

wherein the DCI format includes a first field and a second field,

wherein the first field comprises wake-up indication for the UE, and the second field comprises a known bit stream for the UE,

wherein a starting position of the first field in the DCI format is determined based on the position information and a size of the DCI format is informed based on the size information,

wherein the known bit stream is informed to the UE by the configuration information for the DCI, and

wherein based on that the DCI format is detected in a default bandwidth part (BWP), a BWP inactivity timer of the UE is reset.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE performs decoding on the DCI format based on the known bit stream.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the known bit stream is a predefined bit stream.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI format informs the UE of a power saving scheme configured to the UE.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the UE performs an operation related to the power saving scheme based on the DCI format.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) of a control resource set (CORESET) for monitoring the DCI format is as same as a second TCI of a CORESET for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a bandwidth part (BWP) for monitoring the DCI format is an active BWP at a time of monitoring the DCI for the UE.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a CORESET for monitoring the DCI format is included in a CORESET for monitoring a PDCCH configured to the UE.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a CORESET for monitoring the DCI format is configured independently to the UE of a CORESET for monitoring a PDCCH configured to the UE.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on that both discontinuous reception (DRX) operation and monitoring for the DCI format are configured to the UE, the UE receives a measurement report configuration in a time duration other than an active time from the base station.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein based on the measurement report configuration, the UE transmits measurement report information to the base station in the time duration.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the UE transmits stop request information for at least one of the monitoring for the DCI format and the DRX operation to the base station.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the default BWP is a BWP to be moved from an active BWP based on a BWP inactivity timer of the active BWP expiring.

14. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one memory;

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor operably connectable to the at least one memory and the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), configuration information for downlink control information (DCI) from a base station, wherein the configuration information for the DCI comprises size information and position information; and

receiving, by the UE, a DCI format for notifying power saving information for one or more user equipments (UEs) from the base station based on the size information and the position information,

wherein the DCI format includes a first field and a second field,

wherein the first field comprises wake-up indication for the UE, and the second field comprises a known bit stream for the UE,

wherein a starting position of the first field in the DCI format is determined based on the position information and a size of the DCI format is informed based on the size information,

wherein the known bit stream is informed to the UE by the configuration information for the DCI, and

wherein based on that the DCI format is detected in a default bandwidth part (BWP), a BWP inactivity timer of the UE is reset.

15. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connectable to the at least one processor,

wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving configuration information for downlink control information (DCI) from a base station, wherein the configuration information for the DCI comprises size information and position information; and

receiving a DCI format for notifying power saving information for one or more user equipments (UEs) from the base station based on the size information and the position information,

wherein the DCI format includes a first field and a second field,

wherein the first field comprises wake-up indication for the UE, and the second field comprises a known bit stream for the UE,

wherein a starting position of the first field in the DCI format is determined based on the position information and a size of the DCI format is informed based on the size information,

wherein the known bit stream is informed to the UE by the configuration information for the DCI, and

wherein based on that the DCI format is detected in a default bandwidth part (BWP), a BWP inactivity timer of the UE is reset.
