Optionally, the DRX parameter indication information of at least one set of DRX discontinuous reception configurations included in the first indication information of different terminals of the at least one terminal, the indication content of the target DRX configuration indication, and the DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration may be respectively the same or different.

It should be noted that the network side device may configure the same number of DRX configurations for different terminals in the at least one terminal, or may configure different numbers of DRX configurations.

It should be noted that, the following at least one set of DRX configurations, or at least one DRX configuration, or at least one set of DRX configurations all mean the same thing.

Optionally, the network side device configures at least one of DRX parameter indication information of at least one group of discontinuous reception DRX configurations, target DRX configuration indication, and DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration, which are included in the first DCI.

In this way, by using the first downlink control information DCI including the first indication information corresponding to each terminal in the at least one terminal, when the first terminal receives the first DCI, the first indication information corresponding to the first DCI can be acquired, where the first indication information includes: at least one of the DRX parameter indication information of at least one group of discontinuous reception DRX configuration, the target DRX configuration indication and the DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration realizes more flexible DRX configuration activation and DRX parameter adjustment.

Optionally, the first DCI is a group common DCI, where the first DCI employs a new DCI format or reuses an existing DCI format, and the new DCI format refers to a DCI format interfered by a newly added RNTI. The existing group common DCI format is DCI format 2-6.

After step 201, the method further comprises: and transmitting according to the first DCI.

As described above, the first indication information includes: at least one of DRX parameter indication information of at least one set of discontinuous reception DRX configuration, target DRX configuration indication, and DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration is, for a person skilled in the art to be clear, the specific content of the first indication information is exemplified below.

In a first mode

The first indication information includes at least one set of DRX parameter indication information of DRX discontinuous reception configuration, that is, in one or more terminals receiving the first DCI, each terminal may receive DRX parameter indication information corresponding to each terminal in the one or more terminals, and further may activate DRX configuration or adjust DRX parameters by obtaining DRX parameter indication information corresponding to itself.

Mode two

The first indication information includes a target DRX configuration indication, and the current terminal may activate or apply the target DRX configuration according to the indication when acquiring the target DRX configuration indication. Specifically, the terminal transmits according to the specific DRX parameters configured in the target DRX configuration by the network.

Mode III

The first indication information comprises DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration, and when the current terminal obtains the DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration, the current terminal can adjust the DRX parameter of the target DRX configuration according to the DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration.

Mode IV

The first indication information may include a target DRX configuration indication and DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration, and at this time, the terminal may determine the target DRX configuration that needs to be activated or applied according to the target DRX configuration indication, and adjust parameters in the target DRX configuration according to the DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration, it should be noted that, in the case of a large number of parameters that are indicated to be updated, the bit saving is facilitated by using this kind of loading manner.

Mode five

The first indication information may include DRX parameter indication information of at least one set of discontinuous reception DRX configurations and a target DRX configuration indication, that is, DRX parameter indication information indicating at least one set of DRX configurations corresponding to each terminal is indicated in the first indication information, and one or more DRX configurations of the at least one set of DRX configurations are activated by the target DRX configuration indication, where the one or more DRX configurations are the target DRX configuration. This approach facilitates the terminal to determine the target DRX configuration and further determine the DRX parameter indication information corresponding thereto.

Of course, the first indication information may also include DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration at the same time on this basis.

Optionally, the specific content of the first indication information corresponding to different terminals may be the same or different. For example, the following steps: when different terminals need to activate the same DRX configuration, the specific contents of the first indication information corresponding to the different terminals are the same; when different terminals need to activate different DRX configurations, the specific contents of the first indication information corresponding to the different terminals are different; further, when the partial parameters in different DRX configurations are the same, the specific content part of the first indication information is different; when all the partial parameters in different DRX configurations are different, the specific content of the first indication information is all different.

Optionally, the DRX parameter indication information in step 201 includes at least one of:

the number of items of DRX indication is used for indicating the number of items of DRX indication contained in the DRX parameter indication information;

the DRX indication.

That is, the first terminal may obtain the number of items of DRX indication included in the DRX parameter indication information according to the DRX parameter indication information on the basis that the first indication information includes at least one set of DRX parameter indication information of the discontinuous reception DRX configuration and/or DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration. Optionally, the DRX indication corresponding to each DRX parameter is convenient to determine the indicated DRX indication timely and accurately, and to determine whether to adjust the DRX parameter corresponding to the DRX indication and how to adjust the DRX parameter according to the DRX indication, thereby facilitating to accelerate subsequent adjustment speed.

Specifically, the DRX indication includes at least one of:

a DRX start offset indication;

a DRX cycle indication;

a DRX duration indication;

DRX inactivity timer duration indication;

DRX retransmission related timer duration indication.

Wherein a DRX start offset (DRX start-offset) indicates a specific value for indicating a DRX start offset in a corresponding DRX configuration; the DRX cycle indication is used for indicating the size of the DRX cycle in the corresponding DRX configuration; a DRX duration (DRX on duration) indication for indicating a DRX duration in a corresponding DRX configuration; a DRX inactivity timer (DRX inactivity timer) duration indication is used to indicate a DRX inactivity timer duration in a corresponding DRX configuration; the DRX retransmission-related timer duration indication is used for indicating the DRX retransmission-related timer duration in the corresponding DRX configuration. Optionally, the DRX parameter indication information may include all of the DRX indications described above, or at least one of them may be selected according to DRX parameter adjustment requirements.

Optionally, on the basis of the fourth mode, when the DRX parameter indication information includes a DRX initial offset indication, the bit number indicated by the target DRX configuration and the bit number indicated by the DRX initial offset in the DRX parameter indication information may be configured by the network side, where the bit number indicated by the specific target DRX configuration is determined according to the number of DRX configurations configured for the terminal by the network; the bit number indicated by the DRX initial offset in the DRX parameter indication information is determined according to the number of DRX indications configured for the terminal by the network.

Optionally, DRX indication employs joint coding or independent coding as described above.

When the DRX parameter indication information includes a plurality of the above DRX indications, the DRX indications may be in the form of joint coding or independent coding. Wherein joint coding can save bits.

For example: when independently encoded, a DRX start offset (DRX start offset) indicates to occupy 2 bits and a DRX duration (DRX on duration) indicates to occupy 2 bits; another example is: in the case of joint coding, the DRX start offset (DRX start offset) and the DRX duration (DRX on duration) take values of joint coding, as shown in the following table of joint coding:

optionally, the starting position of the first indication information is configured by a network side device.

That is, the start position of the first indication information corresponding to the first terminal is configured by the network side device.

And the network side equipment respectively configures the initial position of the first indication information corresponding to each terminal in the at least one terminal.

The network side equipment configures the initial position of the first indication information which is read by each terminal. The start position of the first indication information read by each terminal may be the same or different. Optionally, each terminal may only read its corresponding first indication information.

It should be noted that, when the network side device performs the start position of the first indication information, the network side device may send a high-level signaling.

Optionally, the first terminal starts to apply the first indication information for transmission in a DRX cycle next to the DRX cycle in which the first DCI is received;

or the like, or, alternatively,

the first terminal starts to apply the first indication information for transmission in a time unit next to the time unit in which the first DCI is received;

or the like, or, alternatively,

and the first terminal starts to apply the first indication information for transmission in the DRX period associated with the received first DCI.

That is to say, after receiving the first DCI, the first terminal may not immediately perform DRX configuration activation and DRX parameter adjustment according to the first indication information in the first DCI, but starts to transmit the first indication information corresponding to the first DCI when the first indication information reaches the specific time node, which is beneficial to ensuring normal execution of the currently ongoing service. Optionally, the time node starting to apply the first indication information corresponding thereto for transmission may be a DRX cycle next to the DRX cycle where the first DCI is received, that is, after the current DRX cycle is ended, the first indication information is started to be applied for DRX configuration activation and DRX parameter adjustment, so as to perform service processing according to the newly activated DRX configuration; or, the time node starting to apply the first indication information corresponding to the time node for transmission is the next time unit of the time unit where the first DCI is received, and the time unit may be a time slot, a symbol, a subframe, or the like; or, the time node starting to apply the first indication information corresponding to the time node for transmission is the DRX cycle associated with the received first DCI, that is, the time node starts to apply the first indication information in the DRX cycle associated with the first DCI, which is beneficial to avoiding adverse effects caused by mismatch between services and DRX configurations.

In addition, in this embodiment, the first DCI may be a dedicated DCI carrying the first indication information, where the first DCI has a new DCI format, and the new DCI format refers to a DCI format scrambled by a Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI). Of course, existing DCI formats, such as DCI formats 2-6, may also be multiplexed.

Optionally, the first indication information is located in a last information field of the first DCI.

Here, since the first DCI may include other information besides the first indication information, when information different from the first indication information is carried on the first DCI, the first indication information is carried in a last information field of the first DCI, and the information different from the first indication information is carried in a previous information field, so as to avoid interference of the other information on the first indication information. For example: the other information may be second indication information for indicating energy saving related information of all terminals associated with the first DCI, and the first indication information is set in a last information field of the first DCI, that is, the first indication information is located after the second indication information, so that application of different information in the first DCI is guaranteed.

Optionally, each information field of the first DCI corresponds to a different terminal, and the first indication information is located in the information field.

That is, all information of the same terminal is set in the same information domain, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the terminal in acquiring corresponding information. And in the same information field, the first indication information is preferably located behind the other information. Optionally, the other information is third indication information for indicating energy saving related information of only one terminal.

As shown in fig. 3, a schematic diagram of carrying first indication information on a first DCI is provided, taking the current first DCI with first indication information of 3 UEs as an example, when a network configures specific carrying content of the first DCI to include three indication blocks (blocks) associated with three terminals (UE 1, UE2, and UE 3), where the three indication blocks are located in a last information domain of the first DCI or in an information domain corresponding to the corresponding terminal for carrying the corresponding first indication information, and an enlightenment position of each indication Block is determined by a high-layer signaling configuration; take the example that the first Indication information includes both the Target DRX Configuration Indication and the DRX parameter Indication information of the Target DRX Configuration, where the first Indication information is shown as the Target DRX Configuration (Target DRX Configuration) and the DRX parameter Indication information (DRX start-offset Indication) in the figure, and the other information is shown as existentfiles in the figure.

Optionally, the size of the first DCI is configured by a network side.

That is to say, in order to ensure transmission efficiency and the like, the size of the first DCI needs to be limited, where the size of the first DCI is preferably determined and configured in a network side configuration manner, so that the network side may configure according to actual requirements of the first DCI, which is beneficial to further reducing resource occupation on the premise of meeting requirements of the first DCI.

Optionally, the size of the first DCI is aligned with the size of a second DCI, where the second DCI is a group-common DCI.

That is to say, when the size of the first DCI is limited, the first DCI may be set according to a referenceable standard, and since the first DCI is actually also a group of common DCIs, optionally, a second DCI serving as the group of common DCIs is used as a reference, and the sizes of the first DCI are aligned according to the sizes of the second DCI, so that the sizes of the group of common DCIs are ensured to be aligned. Alternatively, the size of the first DCI is aligned with at least one other common set of DCI sizes.

Optionally, each indication block in the first DCI corresponds to each terminal of the at least one terminal in a one-to-one manner, and the indication block carries the first indication information of the corresponding terminal. The indication block may also be referred to as an indication field, and different terminals correspond to the same or different indication fields.

And the network side equipment configures the initial position of the indication domain corresponding to each terminal. The starting position of the indication field corresponding to each terminal can be the same or different. Optionally, each terminal can only read the indication domain corresponding to the terminal. That is to say, specific bearer content of the first DCI may be divided into a plurality of indication blocks (blocks), where each indication block corresponds to one terminal and is used to bear first indication information corresponding to the terminal. The indication block may also be referred to as an indication field, and one terminal corresponds to one indication field.

For example, referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of carrying first indication information on a first DCI is provided, where the current first DCI has first indication information of 3 UEs, and at this time, a specific carrying content of the first DCI configured by a network includes three indication blocks associated with three terminals (UE 1, UE2, and UE 3), where the three indication blocks are located in a last information field of the first DCI or in an information field corresponding to a corresponding terminal, and are used to carry the corresponding first indication information, and an inspiring position of each indication block is determined by a higher layer signaling configuration; the network has two sets of DRX configurations for UE1, UE2 and UE3, and each first indication information includes a Target DRX Configuration indication (Target DRX Configuration) corresponding to the terminal and DRX parameter indication information of the Target DRX Configuration. Taking DRX parameter Indication information as DRX start-offset Indication (DRX start-offset Indication) as an example, for specific content of the DRX start offset Indication, a bitmap (bit map) and a bit string (bit string) may be used. For example, there are 4 values indicated by the DRX start offset, the number of bits indicated by the network configuration DRX start offset is 2 bits, and the indication is performed in a bit string manner. Wherein, '00' indicates a value of 1, \8230and '11' indicates a value of 4. And for the specific content of the Target DRX Configuration indication (Target DRX Configuration), a bitmap (bit map), a bit string (bit string) manner may be adopted. For example, the network configures 4 sets of DRX configurations, the number of bits indicated by the network configuration target DRX configuration is 2 bits, and the target DRX configuration is indicated in a bit string manner. Wherein, '00' indicates DRX configuration 1, \ 8230and '11' indicates DRX configuration 4.

Each terminal is configured with at least one set of DRX configuration, so that the indication information corresponding to a plurality of sets of DRX configurations can be arranged according to a preset sequence in each indication block;

or, the indication block comprises at least one sub-block, and each sub-block of the at least one sub-block carries DRX parameter indication information of a set of DRX configurations.

The indication block is divided into a plurality of sub-blocks (sub-blocks), or sub-indication domains, each sub-block correspondingly indicates a set of DRX configurations, and specifically, each sub-block carries DRX parameter indication information of a set of DRX configurations.

For example, referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram of carrying first indication information on a first DCI is provided, taking the current first DCI with first indication information of 3 UEs as an example, at this time, a specific carrying content of the network configuration first DCI includes three indication blocks associated with three terminals (UE 1, UE2, and UE 3), where the three indication blocks are located in a last information field of the first DCI or in an information field corresponding to the corresponding terminal for carrying the corresponding first indication information, and a starting position of each indication block is determined by a higher layer signaling configuration; the network has two sets of DRX configurations (DRX configurations) configured for the UE1, and as the bit number indicated by the target DRX Configuration configured by the network and the sub-blocks in each indication block are determined according to the number of DRX configurations of the European share of the UE by the network, the indication block corresponding to the UE1 has two sub-blocks, and each sub-block carries DRX parameter indication information related to one set of DRX Configuration; and the DRX configurations corresponding to UE2 and UE3 are respectively provided with one set, so the indication blocks corresponding to UE2 and UE3 have no sub-block or only one sub-block, and the indication information of the DRX parameters related to the DRX configurations is carried in the indication block or the sub-block. Taking DRX parameter Indication information as DRX start-offset Indication (DRX start-offset Indication) as an example, the network may further configure the number of bits required by the Indication block and the sub-block, and the number of bits indicated by the DRX start offset, where the number of bits indicated by the DRX start offset is determined according to the number of DRX start offset indications configured by the network for the terminal, and for the specific content of the DRX start offset Indication, a bitmap (bit map) or a bit string (bit string) may be used. For example, there are 4 values of DRX initial offset indication, the number of bits of the DRX initial offset indication configured by the network is 2 bits, and the indication is performed in a bit string manner. Wherein, '00' indicates a value of 1, \8230and '11' indicates a value of 4.

Or, each sub-block corresponds to one DRX parameter, and before each sub-block, a preset number of bits are fixedly used to indicate how many DRX parameters need to be adjusted subsequently, that is, how many sub-blocks exist, where the preset number of bits are configured by the network side, so that the parameters that each UE may adjust are not necessarily the same, and the number of bits of each indication block and/or sub-block is also not necessarily the same, and may be applicable to more UEs in different states.

Optionally, the number of sub-blocks of each indication block in the first DCI is equal, and the number of sub-blocks is a preset value. Wherein the preset value preferably corresponds to the number of DRX configurations in the terminal with the most DRX configurations;

optionally, the number of sub-blocks of each indication block in the first DCI is associated with the DRX configuration number of the terminal corresponding to the indication block.

Optionally, the network side device configures DRX parameter indication information of at least one group of discontinuous reception DRX configurations included in the first DCI, a target DRX configuration indication, and a size of at least one item of DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration.

In this way, the network side device sends the first downlink control information DCI including the first indication information corresponding to each terminal in the at least one terminal, so that when the corresponding terminal receives the first DCI, the first indication information corresponding to the first DCI can be acquired, where the first indication information includes: at least one of the DRX parameter indication information of the at least one group of discontinuous reception DRX configuration, the target DRX configuration indication and the DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration realizes more flexible DRX configuration activation and DRX parameter adjustment.

In a first mode

Mode two

The first indication information includes a target DRX configuration indication, and the current terminal may activate or apply the target DRX configuration according to the indication when acquiring the target DRX configuration indication. Specifically, the terminal transmits the specific DRX parameters configured in the target DRX configuration according to the network.

Mode III

The first indication information comprises DRX parameter indication information of a target DRX configuration, and when the current terminal obtains the DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration, the current terminal can adjust DRX parameters of the target DRX configuration according to the DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration.

Mode IV

Mode five

Of course, the first indication information may also include DRX parameter indication information of the target DRX configuration at the same time, and the target DRX configuration at this time is preferably the DRX configuration indicated by the target DRX configuration indication.

It should be noted that the specific content of the first indication information corresponding to different terminals may be the same or different. For example: when different terminals need to activate the same DRX configuration, the specific contents of the first indication information corresponding to the different terminals are the same; when different terminals need to activate different DRX configurations, the specific contents of the first indication information corresponding to the different terminals are different; further, when the partial parameters in different DRX configurations are the same, the specific content part of the first indication information is different; when all the partial parameters in different DRX configurations are different, the specific content of the first indication information is all different.

Optionally, the DRX parameter indication information in step 501 includes at least one of the following:

a number of items of DRX indication indicating a number of items of DRX indication used to indicate DRX indication included in the DRX parameter indication information;

the DRX indication.

That is, the terminal may acquire the number of items of DRX indication included in the DRX parameter indication information according to the DRX parameter indication information on the basis that the first indication information includes at least one set of DRX parameter indication information of a discontinuous reception DRX configuration and/or DRX parameter indication information of a target DRX configuration. Optionally, the DRX indication corresponding to each DRX parameter is convenient to determine the indicated DRX indication timely and accurately, and to determine whether to adjust and how to adjust the corresponding DRX parameter according to the DRX indication, thereby facilitating to accelerate a subsequent adjustment speed.

Specifically, the DRX indication includes at least one of:

a DRX start offset indication;

a DRX cycle indication;

a DRX duration indication;

DRX inactivity timer duration indication;

DRX retransmission related timer duration indication.

Wherein the DRX starting offset indicates a specific numerical value for indicating the DRX starting offset in the corresponding DRX configuration; the DRX cycle indication indicates a size of a DRX cycle in a corresponding DRX configuration; the DRX duration indication is used for indicating the DRX duration in the corresponding DRX configuration; the DRX inactivity timer duration indication is used for indicating the DRX inactivity timer duration in the corresponding DRX configuration; the DRX retransmission related timer duration indication is used to indicate the DRX retransmission related timer duration in the corresponding DRX configuration. Optionally, the DRX parameter indication information may include all of the DRX indications, or at least one of them may be selected according to a DRX parameter adjustment requirement.

specifically, the starting position of the first indication information is configured by a network side device.

The network side equipment configures the starting position of the first indication information which is read by each terminal. The start position of the first indication information read by each terminal may be the same or different. Optionally, each terminal may only read its corresponding first indication information.

Optionally, the first indication information is started to be applied in a DRX cycle next to the DRX cycle in which the first DCI received by the terminal is located;

or the like, or a combination thereof,

the first indication information is applied at the beginning of the DRX period associated with the first DCI received by the terminal.

That is to say, after receiving the first DCI sent by the network side device, the terminal may not immediately perform DRX configuration activation and DRX parameter adjustment according to the first indication information in the first DCI, but starts to apply the corresponding first indication information for transmission when a specific time node is reached, which is beneficial to ensuring normal execution of a current ongoing service. Optionally, the time node starting to apply the first indication information corresponding thereto for transmission may be a DRX cycle next to the DRX cycle in which the first DCI is received by the terminal, that is, after the current DRX cycle is ended, start to apply the first indication information corresponding thereto for DRX configuration activation and DRX parameter adjustment, and further perform service processing according to the newly activated DRX configuration; or, the time node starting to apply the first indication information corresponding thereto for transmission is a time unit next to the time unit where the first DCI is received, where the time unit may be a time slot, a symbol, a subframe, or the like; or, the time node starting to apply the first indication information corresponding to the time node for transmission is the DRX cycle associated with the received first DCI, that is, the time node starts to apply the first indication information in the DRX cycle associated with the first DCI, which is beneficial to avoiding adverse effects caused by mismatch between services and DRX configurations.

In addition, in this embodiment, the first DCI may be a dedicated DCI carrying the first indication information, where the first DCI has a new DCI format, and the new DCI format refers to a DCI format scrambled by a new Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI). Of course, existing DCI formats, such as DCI formats 2-6, may also be multiplexed.

As shown in fig. 3, a schematic diagram of carrying first indication information on a first DCI is provided, taking the current first DCI with first indication information of 3 UEs as an example, when a network configures specific carrying content of the first DCI to include three indication blocks (blocks) associated with three terminals (UE 1, UE2, and UE 3), where the three indication blocks are located in a last information field of the first DCI or in an information field corresponding to a corresponding terminal for carrying the corresponding first indication information, and an enlightenment position of each indication Block is determined by a high-layer signaling configuration; take the first Indication information including both the Target DRX Configuration Indication and the DRX parameter Indication information of the Target DRX Configuration as an example, where the first Indication information is shown in Target DRX Configuration and DRX start-offset Indication in the figure, and the other information is shown in existant files in the figure.

Optionally, the size of the first DCI is configured by a network side.

That is to say, in order to ensure transmission efficiency and the like, the size of the first DCI needs to be defined, where the size of the first DCI is preferably determined and configured in a network side configuration manner, so that the network side may configure according to actual requirements of the first DCI, which is beneficial to further reducing resource occupation on the premise of meeting the requirements of the first DCI.

That is to say, when the size of the first DCI is limited, the first DCI may be set according to a referenceable standard, and since the first DCI is actually also a group of common DCIs, optionally, a second DCI serving as the group of common DCIs is used as a reference, and the sizes of the first DCI are aligned according to the sizes of the second DCI, so that the sizes of the group of common DCIs are ensured to be aligned. Alternatively, the size of the first DCI is aligned with at least one other set of common DCI sizes.

And the network side equipment configures the initial position of the indication domain corresponding to each terminal. The starting position of the indication domain corresponding to each terminal can be the same or different. Optionally, each terminal can only read the indication domain corresponding to the terminal.

That is to say, the specific bearer content of the first DCI may be divided into a plurality of indication blocks (blocks), and each indication block corresponds to one terminal and is used to bear first indication information corresponding to the terminal. The indication block may also be referred to as an indication field, and one terminal corresponds to one indication field.

For example, referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of carrying first indication information on a first DCI is provided, taking the current first DCI with first indication information of 3 UEs as an example, at this time, a specific carrying content of the network configuration first DCI includes three indication blocks associated with three terminals (UE 1, UE2, and UE 3), where the three indication blocks are located in a last information field of the first DCI or in an information field corresponding to the corresponding terminal for carrying the corresponding first indication information, and a starting position of each indication block is determined by a higher layer signaling configuration; the network has two sets of DRX configurations for UE1, UE2 and UE3, and each first indication information includes a Target DRX Configuration indication (Target DRX Configuration) corresponding to the terminal and DRX parameter indication information of the Target DRX Configuration. In the case that the DRX parameter Indication information is DRX start-offset Indication (DRX start-offset Indication), specific contents of the DRX start offset Indication may be in the form of a bitmap (bit map) and a bit string (bit string). For example, there are 4 values of DRX initial offset indication, the number of bits of the DRX initial offset indication configured by the network is 2 bits, and the indication is performed in a bit string manner. Wherein, '00' indicates a value of 1, \8230and '11' indicates a value of 4. And for the specific content of the Target DRX Configuration indication (Target DRX Configuration), a bitmap (bit map) and a bit string (bit string) may be used. For example, the network configures 4 sets of DRX configurations, the number of bits indicated by the network configuration target DRX configuration is 2 bits, and the target DRX configuration is indicated in a bit string manner. Wherein, '00' indicates DRX configuration 1, \ 8230and '11' indicates DRX configuration 4.

For example, referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram of carrying first indication information on a first DCI is provided, where the current first DCI has first indication information of 3 UEs, and at this time, a specific carrying content of the first DCI configured by a network includes three indication blocks associated with three terminals (UE 1, UE2, and UE 3), where the three indication blocks are located in a last information field of the first DCI or in an information field corresponding to a corresponding terminal, and are used to carry the corresponding first indication information, and an inspiring position of each indication block is determined by a higher layer signaling configuration; the network has two sets of DRX configurations (DRX configurations) configured for the UE1, and because the bit number indicated by the target DRX Configuration configured by the network and the sub-blocks in each indication block are determined according to the number of DRX configurations which are used by the network for the UE, the indication block corresponding to the UE1 is provided with two sub-blocks, and each sub-block carries DRX parameter indication information related to one set of DRX Configuration; and the DRX configurations corresponding to the UE2 and the UE3 are respectively provided with one set, so that the indication blocks corresponding to the UE2 and the UE3 do not have sub-blocks or only have one sub-block, and the indication information of the DRX parameters related to the DRX configurations is carried in the indication blocks or the sub-blocks. Taking DRX parameter Indication information as DRX start-offset Indication (DRX start-offset Indication) as an example, the network may further configure the number of bits required by the Indication block and the sub-block, and the number of bits indicated by the DRX start offset, where the number of bits indicated by the DRX start offset is determined according to the number of DRX start offset indications configured by the network for the terminal, and for the specific content of the DRX start offset Indication, a bitmap (bit map) or a bit string (bit string) may be used. For example, there are 4 values of DRX initial offset indication, the number of bits of the DRX initial offset indication configured by the network is 2 bits, and the indication is performed in a bit string manner. Wherein, '00' indicates a value of 1, \8230and '11' indicates a value of 4.

Or, each sub-block corresponds to one DRX parameter, and before each sub-block, a preset number of bits are used to fixedly indicate how many DRX parameters to be adjusted subsequently, that is, how many sub-blocks, where the preset number of bits are configured by the network side, so that the parameters that each UE may adjust are not necessarily the same, and the number of bits of each indication block and/or sub-block is also not necessarily the same, and may be applicable to more UEs in different states.

optionally, the number of sub-blocks of each indication block in the first DCI is associated with the DRX configuration number of the terminal corresponding to the indication block. Preferably, the number of sub-blocks is the same as the number of DRX configurations of the corresponding terminal, wherein the number of DRX configurations is preferably 2.

Optionally, the network side device configures at least one of the size of the indication block, the size of the sub-block, the number of the sub-blocks, and the indication block correspondingly read by the terminal in the first DCI.
