Description

Method, device, equipment and storage medium for monitoring channel

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for monitoring a channel.

Background

In a communication system, when DRX (Discontinuous Reception) is configured for a terminal device in a connected state, the terminal device monitors a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) during a DRX active time (DRX active time).

At present, in order to reduce the PDCCH blind detection of the terminal device, a PDCCH skipping monitoring mechanism is introduced, that is, when the network device considers that the terminal device does not have uplink and downlink data transmission requirements in a future period of time, the network device can instruct the terminal device to skip the PDCCH monitoring in the period of time by sending a PDCCH skipping monitoring instruction, so that the purpose of saving power is achieved. In general, if the terminal device receives the PDCCH skip monitor indication, the terminal device does not monitor the PDCCH during the subsequent PDCCH skip monitor period, even if the terminal device is in the DRX active period during the PDCCH skip monitor period.

However, in some scenarios, the terminal device may trigger uplink transmission itself and expect the network device to have further response, for example, the terminal device triggers SR (Scheduling Request). In this case, since the terminal device may wait for the network device to respond, the terminal device may have a need to monitor the PDCCH. What kind of operation the terminal device should perform becomes a hot spot of research if the terminal device is in the PDCCH skip monitoring period at this time.

After describing the implementation environment related to the embodiments of the present application, a detailed description will be given below of a method for listening to a channel according to the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for listening to a channel according to an exemplary embodiment, where the method may be applied in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1 and is mainly performed by a terminal device, and the method may include the following implementation steps:

step 201: during the PDCCH skipping monitoring period, if a first request is triggered through a logic channel, whether PDCCH monitoring is resumed is determined according to first configuration information, wherein the first request is used for requesting network equipment to allocate uplink resources, and the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request.

The logical channel refers to an uplink logical channel, and as an example, the logical channel may be selected by the terminal device according to actual requirements.

As an example, the first Request is a Scheduling Request (SR).

Of course, the first request is only an SR example, and in other embodiments, the first request may also be another request, which is not limited in this application.

The first configuration information may include configuration information related to transmission of the first request, for example, a logical channel identifier of a logical channel triggering transmission of the first request, a request identifier of the first request, and a request resource identifier of a request resource for transmitting the first request. The request identifier may be used to determine request configuration information of the first request, for example, the request configuration information includes a prohibited duration, wherein the prohibited duration is used to indicate how many durations a second first request is not allowed to be retransmitted.

Illustratively, the first request is an SR, in which case the first configuration information may include the following parameters: scheduling request identification (schedulingRequestId), scheduling request resource identification (schedulingRequestResourceId), logical channel identification (logical ChannelIdentity).

Wherein, the scheduling request identifier is used for indicating the corresponding scheduling request configuration. For example, one scheduling request configuration may include a prohibit time period, where the prohibit time period is used to indicate how many time periods a second scheduling request is not allowed to be retransmitted.

Wherein, the scheduling request resource identifier is used for indicating the corresponding scheduling request resource.

Each logical channel identifier may indicate a scheduling request identifier, and the logical channel identifier and the scheduling request identifier may be in a one-to-one relationship or a many-to-one relationship. That is, one logical channel identifier corresponds to one scheduling request identifier, or a plurality of logical channel identifiers correspond to one scheduling request identifier.

In addition, each scheduling request resource identifier may indicate one scheduling request identifier, and the scheduling request resource identifier and the scheduling request identifier may be in a one-to-one relationship or a many-to-one relationship. That is, one scheduling request resource identifier corresponds to one scheduling request identifier, or multiple scheduling request resource identifiers correspond to one scheduling request identifier.

Each scheduling request resource identifier may indicate one PUCCH resource index, and the scheduling request resource identifier and the PUCCH resource index may be in a one-to-one relationship or a many-to-one relationship. That is, one scheduling request resource identifier corresponds to one PUCCH resource index, or a plurality of scheduling request resource identifiers correspond to one PUCCH resource index.

In this way, when the first request needs to be transmitted using PUCCH resources, the terminal device may uniquely determine one PUCCH resource index according to the above several sets of correspondence relationships, thereby determining the corresponding PUCCH resource.

The first configuration information may be configured by the network device to the terminal device in advance, for example, the first configuration information is configured by the network device through a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, or the first configuration information is configured by the network device through a media Access Control (MAC CE) Element (MAC CE) signaling.

Generally, when the network device determines that the terminal device does not have a need for uplink and downlink data transmission within a next period of time, a PDCCH skipping monitoring indication is sent to the terminal device, and correspondingly, the terminal device receives the PDCCH skipping monitoring indication from the network device. Further, the network device may also configure a PDCCH skipping monitoring duration for the terminal device, that is, configure a duration for stopping monitoring the PDCCH for the terminal device, so that the terminal device does not monitor the PDCCH on the serving cell during the subsequent PDCCH skipping monitoring period, starting with the next symbol after the PDCCH is received, even if the terminal device is in the DRX active period.

In some embodiments, during the PDCCH monitoring skip period, the terminal device may trigger uplink transmission and expect the network device to have further response, for example, taking the first request as SR, if the terminal device has uplink data arriving but does not have uplink resource for BSR (Buffer Status Report), the terminal device triggers SR through a logical channel to request the network device to allocate uplink resource for the terminal device.

It should be noted that, after the terminal device sends the first request, the first request is in a waiting state, that is, enters a pending state, for example, after the terminal device sends the SR, the terminal device enters the pending state, so in some embodiments, the implementation of step 201 may be described as: during the PDCCH skipping monitoring period, if a first request is triggered through a logic channel and the first request is in a waiting state, whether PDCCH monitoring is resumed is determined according to first configuration information.

Since the terminal device waits for the response of the network device after sending the first request, the terminal device has a requirement for PDCCH monitoring, and if the terminal device is in the PDCCH skip monitoring period at this time, the terminal device can determine whether to resume PDCCH monitoring according to the first configuration information, that is, whether to continue to skip PDCCH monitoring based on a PDCCH skip monitoring instruction sent by the network device before, or to switch to a state of monitoring PDCCH.

And if the PDCCH monitoring is determined to be resumed, stopping the current PDCCH from skipping monitoring and starting monitoring the PDCCH. That is, the terminal device does not continue to skip PDCCH monitoring based on the PDCCH skip monitoring indication previously transmitted by the network device, but transitions to a state of monitoring the PDCCH.

It is understood that if it is determined that PDCCH monitoring is not resumed, the current PDCCH skipping monitoring is continued, that is, the terminal device continues to skip PDCCH monitoring based on a PDCCH skipping monitoring indication previously sent by the network device, that is, PDCCH monitoring is not resumed.

In this embodiment of the present application, during a PDCCH skipping monitoring period, if a first request is triggered through a logical channel, it is determined whether to resume the PDCCH monitoring according to first configuration information, where the first request is used to request a network device to allocate uplink resources, and the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request. Thus, missing PDCCH monitoring can be avoided.

In implementation, according to different contents included in the first configuration information, the specific implementation process of the listening channel provided in the present application is different, and the following embodiments will be described separately.

In an embodiment, the method of listening to the channel may include, but is not limited to, the following:

step A1: during the PDCCH skipping monitoring period, if a first request is triggered through a logic channel, whether PDCCH monitoring is resumed is determined according to first configuration information, wherein the first request is used for requesting network equipment to allocate uplink resources, and the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request.

As an example, the first request is an SR.

In general, the network device may select whether to configure PUCCH resources for transmitting SR for the uplink logical channel. The network device may configure a plurality of PUCCH resources for transmitting the SR for the terminal device, where a configuration parameter corresponding to each PUCCH resource for transmitting the SR includes: a periodicity of the PUCCH resource, a slot, a time symbol offset, and a PUCCH resource index.

In implementation, if a logical channel triggers an SR, if the network device configures a PUCCH resource for transmitting the SR for the logical channel, the terminal device sends the SR on the PUCCH resource for transmitting the SR corresponding to the logical channel; otherwise, the terminal initiates a random access procedure.

The first configuration information may be pre-configured to the terminal device by the network device, for example, the first configuration information is configured by the network device through RRC signaling, or the first configuration information is configured by the network device through MAC CE signaling.

As an example, the first configuration information includes a logical channel identifier of the logical channel, in which case, the specific implementation of determining whether to resume PDCCH monitoring according to the first configuration information may include: and determining whether to recover PDCCH monitoring according to the indication information associated with the logical channel identifier.

Wherein the indication information is used for indicating whether the PDCCH monitoring is allowed to resume. Illustratively, the indication information includes first indication information or second indication information, the first indication information is used for indicating that the PDCCH monitoring is allowed to be resumed, and the second indication information is used for indicating that the PDCCH monitoring is not allowed to be resumed.

As an example, the logical channel identifier is used to indicate the type of the logical channel.

As an example, the type of logical channel includes a first channel type and a second channel type; the logical channel identification includes a first channel identification and a second channel identification. The first channel identifier is associated with the first channel type, and the first channel identifier is associated with first indication information, the first indication information is used for indicating that the PDCCH monitoring is allowed to be resumed, the second channel identifier is associated with the second channel type, and the second channel identifier is associated with second indication information, and the second indication information is used for indicating that the PDCCH monitoring is not allowed to be resumed.

In general, the data transmitted by the logical channel corresponding to the first channel type has a high delay requirement, and the data transmitted by the logical channel corresponding to the second channel type has a relatively low delay requirement. Or, the logical channel corresponding to the first channel type is used for transmitting the specified service data, and the logical channel corresponding to the second channel type is used for transmitting the service data except the specified service data. The designated service data can be set according to actual requirements.

As an example, the first channel type is a delay sensitive logical channel and the second channel type is a delay insensitive logical channel.

Among them, the delay sensitive logical channel has high requirement on data transmission delay, and usually requires not to exceed a certain threshold, for example, the delay sensitive logical channel is usually used for transmitting service data such as instant messaging. The delay insensitive logical channel has relatively low requirement on data transmission delay, for example, the delay insensitive logical channel is generally used for downloading service data such as video.

The network device may configure the indication information according to the type of the logical channel and associate the indication information with a logical channel identifier, which includes a first channel identifier and a second channel identifier based on the associated indication information, for example, the first channel identifier may be represented by "LC1-1" and the second logical channel identifier may be represented by "LC1-2", where the prefix LC1 may be used to indicate the logical channel and the suffixes "1" and "0" are used to indicate the type of the logical channel. The first indication information may be associated with a first channel identification for delay sensitive logical channels, and the second indication information may be associated with a second channel identification for delay insensitive logical channels, for example. In this way, for the terminal device, it may be determined whether to resume PDCCH monitoring according to the indication information associated with the logical channel identifier of the logical channel.

Since the first indication information is used to indicate that the PDCCH monitoring is allowed to be resumed, if the terminal device determines that the indication information associated with the logical channel identifier is the first indication information, it indicates that the network device allows the terminal device to resume the PDCCH monitoring, that is, the PDCCH may be stopped from skipping the monitoring process.

Since the second indication information is used to indicate that the PDCCH monitoring is not allowed to be resumed, if the terminal device determines that the indication information associated with the logical channel identifier is the second indication information, it indicates that the network device does not allow the terminal device to resume the PDCCH monitoring, that is, the PDCCH cannot be stopped to skip the monitoring process.

As another example, if there is no first indication information associated with the logical channel identifier, it is determined not to resume PDCCH monitoring.

If there is no first indication information associated with the logical channel identifier, it may be considered that the network device does not allow the terminal device to resume PDCCH monitoring, that is, it needs to continuously comply with a rule that PDCCH skips monitoring. Therefore, the terminal device determines not to resume PDCCH monitoring, i.e. to continue to skip PDCCH monitoring based on the PDCCH skip monitoring indication sent by the network device before, or it can be understood that the terminal device does not end the timing of the PDCCH skip monitoring duration.

As another example, if an indication information field in the first configuration information is empty, it is determined not to resume PDCCH monitoring, where the indication information field is used to fill the first indication information. That is to say, the indication information field for carrying the first indication information in the first configuration information is empty, and it may be considered that the PDCCH monitoring is not allowed to be resumed, in which case, the terminal device may determine not to resume the PDCCH monitoring.

That is, during the period that monitoring is skipped over by the PDCCH, the logical channel triggers SR, the terminal device sends SR on the PUCCH of one serving cell, and then determines whether the network device configures the first indication information allowing recovery of PDCCH monitoring for the logical channel identifier of the logical channel. And if the first indication information is configured, the terminal equipment stops the current PDCCH skipping monitoring and starts to monitor the PDCCH in the serving cell. Of course, if the second indication information that does not allow the PDCCH monitoring to be resumed is configured or no indication information is configured, the terminal device continues to be in a state where the PDCCH skips monitoring.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, since the network device configures the first indication information for LC1 (first channel identifier), the terminal device resumes PDCCH monitoring after LC1 triggers SR 1. Since the network device configures the second indication information for LC2 (second channel identifier), the terminal device does not resume PDCCH monitoring after the LC2 triggers SR 2.

In the embodiment of the present application, during the PDCCH skipping monitoring, if a first request is triggered through a logical channel, it is determined whether to resume PDCCH monitoring according to first configuration information. The first request is used for requesting the network device to allocate uplink resources, and the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request. Thus, missing PDCCH monitoring can be avoided.

In another embodiment, the method of listening to the channel may include, but is not limited to, the following:

step B1: during the PDCCH skipping monitoring period, if a first request is triggered through a logic channel, whether PDCCH monitoring is resumed is determined according to first configuration information, wherein the first request is used for requesting network equipment to allocate uplink resources, and the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request.

As an example, the first request is an SR.

In general, the network device may select whether to configure PUCCH resources for transmitting SR for the uplink logical channel. The network device may configure a plurality of PUCCH resources for transmitting the SR for the terminal device, where a configuration parameter corresponding to each PUCCH resource for transmitting the SR includes: a period, slot, time symbol offset, and PUCCH resource index of the PUCCH resource.

In this embodiment, the network device may select whether to configure PUCCH resources for transmitting SR for the uplink logical channel. The network equipment can configure a plurality of PUCCH resources for transmitting SR for the terminal equipment

As an example, if the first configuration information includes a scheduling request identifier, the scheduling request identifier is used to indicate a corresponding scheduling request configuration, and the scheduling request identifier is associated with a logical channel identifier of the logical channel, in this case, determining whether to resume implementation of PDCCH monitoring according to the first configuration information may include: and determining whether to recover the PDCCH monitoring according to the indication information associated with the scheduling request identifier.

As an example, the logical channel identifier is used to indicate a type of the logical channel, and the type of the logical channel includes a first channel type and a second channel type.

Among them, the delay sensitive logical channel has high requirement on data transmission delay, and usually requires not to exceed a certain threshold, for example, the delay sensitive logical channel is usually used for transmitting service data such as instant messaging. The latency insensitive logical channel has relatively low requirement on data transmission latency, for example, the latency insensitive logical channel is usually used for downloading traffic data such as video.

The network device may configure the indication information according to the type of the logical channel, and associate the indication information with the scheduling request identifier corresponding to the logical channel identifier, for example, for a delay-sensitive logical channel, a first indication information may be associated with the corresponding scheduling request identifier, and for example, for a delay-insensitive logical channel, a second indication information may be associated with the corresponding scheduling request identifier. In this way, for the terminal device, it may be determined whether to resume PDCCH monitoring according to the indication information associated with the scheduling request identifier.

Since the first indication information is used to indicate that the PDCCH monitoring is allowed to be resumed, if the terminal device determines that the indication information associated with the scheduling request identifier is the first indication information, which indicates that the network device allows the terminal device to resume the PDCCH monitoring, that is, the PDCCH can be stopped from skipping the monitoring process.

Since the second indication information is used to indicate that the PDCCH monitoring is not allowed to be resumed, if the terminal device determines that the indication information associated with the scheduling request identifier is the second indication information, it indicates that the network device does not allow the terminal device to resume the PDCCH monitoring, that is, the PDCCH cannot be stopped to skip the monitoring process.

As another example, if there is no first indication information associated with the scheduling request identity, it is determined not to resume PDCCH monitoring.

If the first indication information associated with the scheduling request identifier does not exist, it may be considered that the network device does not allow the terminal device to resume PDCCH monitoring, that is, it is necessary to continuously follow the rule that PDCCH skips monitoring. Therefore, the terminal device determines not to resume PDCCH monitoring, i.e. to continue to skip PDCCH monitoring based on the PDCCH skip monitoring indication sent by the network device before, or it can be understood that the terminal device does not end the timing of the PDCCH skip monitoring duration.

As another example, it is determined not to resume PDCCH monitoring if an indication information field in the first configuration information is empty, where the indication information field is used to fill the first indication information. That is to say, the indication information field for carrying the first indication information in the first configuration information is empty, and it may be considered that the PDCCH monitoring is not allowed to be resumed, in which case, the terminal device may determine not to resume the PDCCH monitoring.

In this way, for the terminal device, during the period that the PDCCH skips monitoring, the logical channel triggers the SR, the terminal device sends the SR on the PUCCH of one serving cell, and determines whether the first indication information allowing recovery of PDCCH monitoring is configured for the scheduling request identifier network device. And if the first indication information is configured, the terminal equipment stops the current PDCCH skipping monitoring and starts to monitor the PDCCH in the serving cell. Of course, if the second indication information that does not allow the PDCCH monitoring to be resumed is configured or no indication information is configured, the terminal device continues to be in a state where the PDCCH skips monitoring.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, since the network device configures the first indication information for the resource used by SR1, the terminal device resumes PDCCH monitoring after the logical channel triggers SR 1. Since the network device configures the second indication information for the resource used by SR2, the terminal device does not resume PDCCH monitoring after the logical channel triggers SR 2.

In this embodiment of the present application, during a PDCCH skipping monitoring period, if a first request is triggered through a logical channel, whether PDCCH monitoring is resumed is determined according to first configuration information, where the first request is used to request a network device to allocate uplink resources, and the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request. Thus, missing PDCCH monitoring can be avoided.

step C1: during the PDCCH skipping monitoring period, if a first request is triggered through a logical channel, whether PDCCH monitoring is resumed is determined according to first configuration information, wherein the first request is used for requesting network equipment to allocate uplink resources, and the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request.

As an example, the first request is an SR.

In implementation, if the logical channel triggers SR, if the network device configures a PUCCH resource for transmitting SR for the logical channel, the terminal device sends SR on the PUCCH resource for transmitting SR corresponding to the logical channel; otherwise, the terminal initiates a random access procedure.

As an example, the first configuration information includes a scheduling request resource identifier, which is used to indicate a corresponding scheduling request resource, and the scheduling request resource identifier is associated with a logical channel identifier of the logical channel. In this case, determining whether to resume the implementation of PDCCH monitoring according to the first configuration information may include: and determining whether to recover PDCCH monitoring according to the indication information associated with the scheduling request resource identifier.

As an example, the first channel type is a delay sensitive logical channel and the second channel type is.

The delay-sensitive logical channel has a high requirement on data transmission delay, and generally the requirement cannot exceed a certain threshold, for example, the delay-sensitive logical channel is generally used for transmitting service data such as instant messaging messages. The delay insensitive logical channel has relatively low requirement on data transmission delay, for example, the delay insensitive logical channel is generally used for downloading service data such as video.

Wherein the indication information is used for indicating whether the PDCCH monitoring is allowed to resume. Illustratively, the indication information includes first indication information indicating that the PDCCH monitoring is allowed to be resumed or second indication information indicating that the PDCCH monitoring is not allowed to be resumed.

The network device may configure the indication information according to the type of the logical channel, and associate the indication information with the scheduling request resource identifier corresponding to the logical channel identifier, for example, for a delay-sensitive logical channel, a first indication information may be associated with the corresponding scheduling request resource identifier, and for example, for a delay-insensitive logical channel, a second indication information may be associated with the corresponding scheduling request resource identifier. In this way, for the terminal device, it may determine whether to resume PDCCH monitoring according to the indication information associated with the scheduling request resource identifier.

Since the first indication information is used to indicate that the PDCCH monitoring is allowed to be resumed, if the terminal device determines that the indication information associated with the scheduling request resource identifier is the first indication information, which indicates that the network device allows the terminal device to resume the PDCCH monitoring, the PDCCH can be stopped from skipping the monitoring process.

Since the second indication information is used to indicate that the PDCCH monitoring is not allowed to be resumed, if the terminal device determines that the indication information associated with the scheduling request resource identifier is the second indication information, it indicates that the network device does not allow the terminal device to resume the PDCCH monitoring, that is, the PDCCH cannot be stopped to skip the monitoring process.

As another example, if there is no first indication information associated with the scheduling request resource identifier, it is determined not to resume PDCCH monitoring.

If the first indication information associated with the scheduling request resource identifier does not exist, it may be considered that the network device does not allow the terminal device to resume PDCCH monitoring, that is, it is necessary to continuously follow a rule that PDCCH skips monitoring. Therefore, the terminal device determines not to resume PDCCH monitoring, i.e. to continue to skip PDCCH monitoring based on the PDCCH skip monitoring indication sent by the network device before, or it can be understood that the terminal device does not end the timing of the PDCCH skip monitoring duration.

In this way, for the terminal device, during the period that the PDCCH skips monitoring, the logical channel triggers the SR, the terminal device sends the SR on the PUCCH of one serving cell, and determines whether the network device configures the first indication information that allows recovery of PDCCH monitoring for the scheduling request resource identifier corresponding to the logical channel identifier. And if the first indication information is configured, the terminal equipment stops the current PDCCH skipping monitoring and starts to monitor the PDCCH in the serving cell. Of course, if the second indication information that does not allow the PDCCH monitoring to be resumed is configured or no indication information is configured, the terminal device continues to be in a state where the PDCCH skips monitoring.

step D1: during the PDCCH skipping monitoring period, if a first request is triggered through a logical channel, whether PDCCH monitoring is resumed is determined according to first configuration information, wherein the first request is used for requesting network equipment to allocate uplink resources, and the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request.

As an example, the first request is an SR.

In general, the network device may select whether to configure PUCCH resources for transmitting the SR for the uplink logical channel. The network device may configure a plurality of PUCCH resources for transmitting the SR for the terminal device, where the configuration parameter corresponding to each PUCCH resource for transmitting the SR includes: a period, slot, time symbol offset, and PUCCH resource index of the PUCCH resource.

In implementation, if a logical channel triggers an SR, if the network device configures a PUCCH resource for transmitting the SR for the logical channel, the terminal device sends the SR on the PUCCH resource for transmitting the SR corresponding to the logical channel; otherwise, the terminal initiates a random access process.

The first configuration information may be configured by the network device to the terminal device in advance, for example, the first configuration information is configured by the network device through RRC signaling, or the first configuration information is configured by the network device through MAC CE signaling.

As an example, the first configuration information includes a scheduling limited duration corresponding to the logical channel, where the scheduling limited duration is used to indicate a maximum duration for waiting for the network device to schedule after the first request is sent for the logical channel. In this case, determining whether to resume the PDCCH monitoring according to the first configuration information may include: and determining the residual PDCCH skipping monitoring time length, and determining whether to recover PDCCH monitoring based on the scheduling limited time length and the residual PDCCH skipping monitoring time length.

For example, the scheduling restriction duration may be compared with the remaining PDCCH skip monitoring duration, and then it may be determined whether to resume PDCCH monitoring according to the comparison result.

As an example, the determining whether to resume PDCCH monitoring based on the scheduling restriction duration and the remaining PDCCH monitoring skipping duration may include: and if the scheduling limited time length is less than or equal to the monitoring skipping time length of the residual PDCCH, determining to restore the PDCCH monitoring.

If the scheduling limit duration is less than or equal to the remaining PDCCH monitoring skipping duration, it indicates that the remaining PDCCH monitoring skipping duration is longer, and in this case, if PDCCH monitoring is not resumed, scheduling of the network device may be missed. Therefore, in this case, the terminal device determines to resume PDCCH monitoring.

As another example, the specific implementation of determining whether to resume PDCCH monitoring based on the scheduling restriction duration and the remaining PDCCH skip monitoring duration may include: and if the scheduling limited time length is longer than the monitoring skipping time length of the residual PDCCH, determining not to restore the PDCCH monitoring.

If the scheduling limit time is longer than the remaining PDCCH monitoring skipping time, the remaining PDCCH monitoring skipping time is shorter, and in this case, the PDCCH monitoring can be automatically resumed without needing to elapse of time, so that the terminal equipment can determine not to resume the PDCCH monitoring.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, since the scheduling limited duration configured for LC1 by the network device is less than the remaining PDCCH monitoring skipping duration, after the LC1 triggers SR1, the terminal device resumes PDCCH monitoring. Since the scheduling limited duration configured for LC2 by the network device is greater than the remaining PDCCH monitoring skipping duration, after the LC2 triggers SR2, the terminal device does not resume PDCCH monitoring.

In the embodiment of the application, during the period that the monitoring is skipped by the PDCCH, if a first request is triggered through a logical channel, whether the monitoring of the PDCCH is resumed is determined according to first configuration information. The first request is used for requesting the network device to allocate uplink resources, and the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request. Thus, missing PDCCH monitoring can be avoided.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flowchart of a method for listening to a channel according to another exemplary embodiment, where the method may be applied in the foregoing implementation environment, and is mainly performed by a network device, and the method may include the following implementation steps:

step 601: and sending the first configuration information to the terminal equipment.

The first configuration information is used for the terminal device to determine whether to resume PDCCH monitoring when a first request corresponding to the first configuration information is triggered through a logical channel during PDCCH skip monitoring, where the first request is used to request a network device to allocate uplink resources, and the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request.

As an example, the first request is a scheduling request SR.

As an example, the first configuration information includes a logical channel identifier of a logical channel, in which case, according to a type of the logical channel, indication information is determined, the indication information is used for indicating whether to allow PDCCH monitoring to be resumed, and the indication information is associated with the logical channel identifier.

As an example, the first configuration information includes a scheduling request identifier indicating a corresponding scheduling request configuration, the scheduling request identifier being associated with a logical channel identifier of the logical channel. In this case, indication information for indicating whether to allow resumption of PDCCH monitoring is determined according to the type of the logical channel, and the indication information is associated with the scheduling request identity.

As an example, the first configuration information includes a scheduling request resource identifier indicating a corresponding scheduling request resource, and the scheduling request resource identifier is associated with a logical channel identifier of the logical channel. In this case, indication information for indicating whether to allow resumption of PDCCH monitoring is determined according to the type of the logical channel, and the indication information is associated with the scheduling request identity.

As an example, determining the specific implementation of the indication information according to the type of the logical channel may include: if the type of the logical channel is a first channel type, determining that the indication information is first indication information, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating that the PDCCH monitoring is allowed to be recovered; and if the type of the logical channel is a second channel type, determining that the indication information is second indication information, wherein the second indication information is used for indicating that the PDCCH monitoring is not allowed to be resumed.

The delay-sensitive logical channel has a high requirement on data transmission delay, and generally the requirement cannot exceed a certain threshold, for example, the delay-sensitive logical channel is generally used for transmitting service data such as instant messaging messages. The latency insensitive logical channel has relatively low requirement on data transmission latency, for example, the latency insensitive logical channel is usually used for downloading traffic data such as video.

The network device may configure the indication information according to the type of the logical channel and associate the indication information with the logical channel identifier, for example, for a delay-sensitive logical channel, a first indication information may be associated with the logical channel identifier, and for example, for a delay-insensitive logical channel, a second indication information may be associated with the logical channel identifier. In this way, for the terminal device, it may be determined whether to resume PDCCH monitoring according to the indication information associated with the logical channel identifier.

Alternatively, the network device may configure the indication information according to the type of the logical channel, and associate the indication information with the scheduling request identifier corresponding to the logical channel identifier, for example, for a delay-sensitive logical channel, a first indication information may be associated with the scheduling request identifier, and for example, for a delay-insensitive logical channel, a second indication information may be associated with the scheduling request identifier. In this way, for the terminal device, it may be determined whether to resume PDCCH monitoring according to the indication information associated with the scheduling request identifier.

Still alternatively, the network device may configure the indication information according to the type of the logical channel, and associate the indication information with the scheduling request resource identifier corresponding to the logical channel identifier, for example, for a delay-sensitive logical channel, the first indication information may be associated with the scheduling request resource identifier, and for example, for a delay-insensitive logical channel, the second indication information may be associated with the scheduling request resource identifier. In this way, for the terminal device, it may determine whether to resume PDCCH monitoring according to the indication information associated with the scheduling request resource identifier.

In a possible implementation manner of the present application, the network device may send the first configuration information to the terminal device through an RRC signaling; alternatively, the network device may send the first configuration information to the terminal device through the MAC CE.

It should be noted that, for the related implementation of the network device side, reference may be made to the related implementation of the terminal device side in the foregoing embodiments.

In this embodiment, the network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device, where the first configuration information is configuration information associated with transmission of the first request. During the PDCCH skipping monitoring period, the terminal equipment triggers a first request for requesting the network equipment to allocate uplink resources through a logic channel. According to the first configuration information, it may be determined whether to resume PDCCH monitoring. Thus, missing PDCCH monitoring can be avoided.
