Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for triggering cell-specific or UE-group-specific adaptation. A method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes receiving, from a base station (BS), a set of higher layer parameters and determining a set of adaptation aspects based on the set of higher layer parameters. The method further includes determining a set of configurations for receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and receiving the PDCCH based on the set of configurations. The PDCCH carries adaptation indicators including a set of code-points that corresponds values for the set of adaptation aspects, respectively. The method further includes applying the values for the set of adaptation aspects based on the set of code-points included in the adaptation indicators.

Claims (37)

1 . A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting network energy saving, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

receive, via the transceiver from a base station, configuration information for a cell operation including a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) operation,

receive, via the transceiver from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with the cell operation, the DCI including one or more indicators indicating whether to activate the cell operation for one or more serving cells, and

identify that the cell operation is activated or deactivated based on the one or more indicators indicating an activation or deactivation of the cell operation.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for detection of the DCI including the one or more indicators indicating whether to activate the cell operation for the one or more serving cells on a common search space.

3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the UE does not transmit data on a configured grant (CG) resource during a non-active duration in case that the UE is configured with the cell DRX operation and the cell DRX operation is activated for the one or more serving cells.

4 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the cell operation further comprises an operation of which the base station does not transmit data in the one or more serving cells during a non-active duration, and

the UE does not monitor a PDCCH during the non-active duration in case that the UE is configured with the cell operation and the cell operation is activated for the one or more serving cells.

5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the cell operation is configured with a UE group.

6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to identify that the cell operation is activated or deactivated based on each bit value of the one or more indicators.

7 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting network energy saving, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information for a cell operation including a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) operation;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with the cell operation, the DCI including one or more indicators indicating whether to activate the cell operation for one or more serving cells; and

identifying that the cell operation is activated or deactivated based on the one or more indicators indicating activation or deactivation of the cell operation.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for detection of the DCI including the one or more indicators indicating whether to activate the cell operation for the one or more serving cells on a common search space.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the UE does not transmit data on a configured grant (CG) resource during a non-active duration in case that the UE is configured with the cell DRX operation and the cell DRX operation is activated for the one or more serving cells.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the cell operation further comprises an operation of which the base station does not transmit data in the one or more serving cells during a non-active duration, and

the UE does not monitor a PDCCH during the non-active duration in case that the UE is configured with the cell operation and the cell operation is activated for the one or more serving cells.

11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the cell operation is configured with a UE group.

12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein identifying that the cell operation is activated or deactivated comprises identifying that the cell operation is activated or deactivated based on each bit value of the one or more indicators.

13 . A base station in a wireless communication system supporting network energy saving, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE) via the transceiver, configuration information for a cell operation including a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) operation,

transmit, to a UE via the transceiver, downlink control information (DCI) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with the cell operation, the DCI including one or more indicators indicating whether to activate the cell operation for one or more serving cells, and

perform activation or deactivation of the cell operation based on the one or more indicators indicating an activation or deactivation of the cell operation.

14 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit, through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a common search space, the DCI including the one or more indicators indicating whether to activate the cell operation for the one or more serving cells.

15 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein the base station does not receive, from the UE, data on a configured grant (CG) resource during a non-active duration in case that the UE is configured with the cell DRX operation and the cell DRX operation is activated for the one or more serving cells.

16 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein:

the cell operation further comprises an operation of which the base station does not transmit data in the one or more serving cells during a non-active duration, and

the base station does not transmit, to the UE, a PDCCH during the non-active duration in case that the UE is configured with the cell operation and the cell operation is activated for the one or more serving cells.

17 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein the cell operation is configured with a UE group.

18 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein processor is further configured to perform the activation or the deactivation of the cell operation based on each bit value of the one or more indicators.
