Detailed Description

To reduce terminal power consumption, the terminal may perform DRX. That is, the terminal may wake up periodically, listening to the physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH). The network device may set a DRX duration timer (on duration timer) in each period to control the listening duration of the terminal, and the terminal may also extend the PDCCH listening duration after listening to the scheduling command of the network device, i.e. open an inactivity timer.

When DRX on duration timer, the inactivity timer or retransmission timer (retransmission timer) is in an active state, the terminal is in a DRX active state.

For different transmission modes (transmission modes include unicast mode, multicast mode, broadcast mode, etc.), the network device may determine multiple different DRX configurations for the terminal.

In order to reduce power consumption, the network device sends a discontinuous reception command media intervention control unit (DRX command MAC CE) to the terminal when the network device finds that the terminal has no service data transmission, and the terminal receives DRX command MAC CE.

For unicast traffic (i.e., traffic received by unicast), when the terminal receives DRX command MAC CE type 1 (DRX command MAC CE of C-RNTI scrambled PDCCH scheduling), the terminal deactivates the unicast DRX configuration.

For MBS, when the terminal receives DRX command MAC CE type 2 (DRX command MAC CE of G-RNTI scrambling PDCCH scheduling), the terminal deactivates the DRX configuration corresponding to the scheduled G-RNTI since each DRX configuration corresponds to one G-RNTI.

In addition, in MBS, the terminal also supports retransmission performed by the network device in PTP mode, and DRX command MAC CE retransmitted by PTP also adopts C-RNTI scrambling. For channel quality reasons, or other reasons, the terminal does not properly decode DRX command MAC CE the G-RNTI scrambled PDCCH schedule, the network device employs retransmission of the C-RNTI scrambled PDCCH schedule DRX command MAC CE, and when the terminal receives the C-RNTI scrambled DRX command MAC CE, it cannot distinguish whether this DRX command MAC CE is DRX command MAC CE for deactivating the unicast DRX configuration or DRX command MAC CE for deactivating the MBS DRX configuration by PTP retransmission.

Based on the technical problems, the embodiment of the application includes the indication information in the MAC CE, wherein the indication information is used for indicating the de-activated DRX configuration, so that different de-activated MBS DRX configurations are distinguished, and the reliability of the system is improved.

For the purposes of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.

Fig. 1 is one of flow diagrams of a DRX configuration determining method provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, where an execution body of the DRX configuration determining method may be a terminal, for example, a mobile phone, etc. The method comprises the following steps:

step 101, a terminal receives a first MAC CE; the first MAC CE includes indication information for indicating the deactivated DRX configuration.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the network device may send DRX command MAC CE scrambled with RNTI to the terminal, which is hereinafter referred to as a first MAC CE, where the first MAC CE includes indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate the deactivated DRX configuration. The first MAC CE may be an initial transmission or a retransmission.

The terminal distinguishes whether the first MAC CE is DRX command MAC CE for deactivating unicast DRX configuration or DRX command MAC CE for deactivating MBS DRX configuration by PTP retransmission, through the indication information in the first MAC CE.

In an embodiment of the present application, in a case where the received first MAC CE does not include the indication information, or in a case where the received first MAC CE includes the indication information for indicating the unicast DRX configuration, the terminal determines that the first MAC CE is used for indicating to deactivate the unicast DRX configuration.

In another embodiment of the present application, when the received first MAC CE includes the indication information, and the indication information is used to indicate the MBS DRX configuration, the terminal determines that the first MAC CE is used to indicate to deactivate the MBS DRX configuration, and determines which MBS DRX configuration to deactivate according to the indication information.

In the embodiment of the present application, MBS DRX may be broadcast DRX or multicast DRX.

In the MBS service, the network equipment initially transmits a first MAC CE, wherein the first MAC CE is used for indicating to deactivate MBS DRX configuration.

For channel quality reasons, or other reasons, the terminal does not properly decode the RNTI, scrambles the PDCCH schedule DRX command MAC CE, the network device receives a negative acknowledgement (negative acknowledgement, NACK) message fed back by the terminal, or the network device waits for a period of time and still does not receive feedback from the terminal, and the network device determines that the terminal did not properly receive the DRX command MAC CE.

In order to improve reliability, the network device determines to retransmit the first MAC CE by PTP, since the first MAC CE contains indication information for indicating the deactivated MBS DRX configuration. After receiving the first MAC CE, the terminal analyzes the indication information, determines that the first MAC CE is DRX command MAC CE for deactivating MBS DRX configuration retransmitted by the network device through PTP, and determines MBS DRX configuration to be deactivated.

Step 102, the terminal determines the de-activated DRX configuration according to the indication information.

Specifically, after receiving the first MAC CE, the terminal analyzes the indication information, and determines the DRX configuration that needs to be deactivated according to the indication information.

For unicast service, the first MAC CE received by the terminal may not include indication information, or the received first MAC CE includes indication information for indicating unicast DRX configuration, so the terminal determines that the first MAC CE is used for indicating deactivation of unicast DRX configuration.

For MBS service, the first MAC CE received by the terminal contains the indication information, and the indication information is used for indicating MBS DRX configuration, so the terminal determines that the first MAC CE is used for indicating to deactivate MBS DRX configuration, and determines which MBS DRX configuration is deactivated according to the indication information, thereby improving the reliability of the system.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

the terminal deactivates the DRX configuration.

Specifically, after receiving the first MAC CE, the terminal analyzes the indication information, and determines the DRX configuration that needs to be deactivated according to the indication information. And performs deactivation of the DRX configuration.

If the first MAC CE is used for indicating to deactivate the unicast DRX configuration, the terminal deactivates the unicast DRX configuration.

If the first MAC CE is used for indicating to deactivate MBS DRX configuration 1, the terminal deactivates MBS DRX configuration 1.

If the first MAC CE is used for indicating to deactivate MBS DRX configuration 2, the terminal deactivates MBS DRX configuration 2.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the MAC CE contains the indication information, and the indication information is used for indicating the deactivated DRX configuration, so that confusion of the deactivated DRX configuration is avoided, the DRX configuration can be timely and accurately deactivated, and the reliability of the system is improved.

Specifically, if the first MAC CE is used to instruct to deactivate the unicast DRX configuration, the terminal stops the DRX duration timer of the unicast DRX configuration and the inactivity timer of the unicast DRX configuration.

If the first MAC CE is used for indicating to deactivate MBS DRX configuration 1, the terminal stops the DRX duration timer of MBS DRX configuration 1 and the inactivity timer of MBS DRX configuration 1.

If the first MAC CE is used for indicating to deactivate MBS DRX configuration 2, the terminal stops the DRX duration timer of MBS DRX configuration 2 and the inactivity timer of MBS DRX configuration 2.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the MAC CE contains the indication information, and the indication information is used for indicating the deactivated DRX configuration, so that confusion of the deactivated DRX configuration is avoided, the DRX duration timer of the DRX configuration and the non-activated timer of the DRX configuration can be stopped timely and accurately, and the reliability of the system is improved.

Optionally, the terminal receives a first MAC CE, including:

the method further comprises the steps of:

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, before the terminal receives the first MAC CE, it needs to receive downlink control information DCI sent on the PDCCH scrambled by the network device using the RNTI; the DCI is used to indicate physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH) resources for transmitting the first MAC CE.

After determining the DCI, the terminal receives the first MAC CE on the PDSCH indicated by the DCI.

After receiving the first MAC CE, the terminal first determines whether the first MAC CE is used to deactivate unicast DRX configuration or to deactivate MBS DRX configuration. Then, it is determined which unicast DRX configuration is specifically deactivated, or which MBS DRX configuration is specifically deactivated.

Optionally, the terminal determines the deactivated DRX configuration according to the indication information, including:

Optionally, the unicast DRX information included in the indication information includes one or more of the following information:

C-RNTI；

identification of C-RNTI corresponding to unicast DRX configuration;

identification of unicast DRX configuration.

Specifically, after receiving the first MAC CE, the terminal parses the first MAC CE to obtain unicast DRX information included in the indication information, and determines that the first MAC CE is used to indicate to deactivate unicast DRX configuration.

Alternatively, the indication information may include a C-RNTI (i.e., the unicast DRX information is the C-RNTI). The indication information may include a C-RNTI as the RNTI when the DRX command MAC CE is scrambled, the DRX command MAC CE being used to indicate that the unicast DRX configuration is deactivated. And the terminal determines that the deactivated DRX configuration is unicast DRX configuration according to the C-RNTI.

Alternatively, the indication information may include an identification of the unicast DRX configuration (i.e., the unicast DRX information is an identification of the unicast DRX configuration). The identification of the unicast DRX configuration may be a number of the unicast DRX configuration, etc. And the terminal determines which unicast DRX configuration is deactivated according to the identification of the unicast DRX configuration.

For example, the indication information includes an identifier 1 of the unicast DRX configuration, where the identifier 1 corresponds to the unicast DRX configuration 1, that is, the identifier 1 is used to characterize the unicast DRX configuration with the number 1, and the terminal determines to deactivate the unicast DRX configuration with the number 1 according to the identifier 1 of the unicast DRX configuration.

Optionally, the MBS DRX information included in the indication information includes one or more of the following information:

one or more G-RNTIs;

the MBS DRX configures the corresponding G-RNTI mark;

identification of MBS DRX configuration;

LCID associated with G-RNTI;

the eLCID associated with the G-RNTI.

Specifically, after receiving the first MAC CE, the terminal parses the first MAC CE to obtain MBS DRX information included in the indication information, and determines that the first MAC CE is used to indicate to deactivate MBS DRX configuration.

Alternatively, the indication information may include one G-RNTI (i.e., MBS DRX information is one G-RNTI).

The indication information includes a G-RNTI that is used to scramble the primary MAC CE.

The terminal distinguishes different MBS DRX configurations through the G-RNTI carried in the first MAC CE, and then the corresponding MBS DRX configuration is deactivated.

After receiving the first MAC CE, the terminal analyzes the first MAC CE to obtain the G-RNTI, determines MBS DRX configuration corresponding to the G-RNTI, and finally stops a DRX duration timer and an inactivity timer of the MBS DRX configuration.

For example, the first MAC CE carries a G-rnti_1, where the G-rnti_1 corresponds to the MBS DRX configuration 1, i.e., the G-rnti_1 is an RNTI for scrambling an initial MAC CE used for indicating to deactivate the MBS DRX configuration 1, and after the terminal receives the first MAC CE, the terminal determines that the first MAC CE is used for indicating to deactivate the MBS DRX configuration 1 according to the G-rnti_1.

Alternatively, the indication information may include a plurality of G-RNTIs (i.e., MBS DRX information is a plurality of G-RNTIs).

The indication information includes a plurality of G-RNTIs as RNTIs for scrambling the primary MAC CEs.

After receiving the first MAC CE, the terminal analyzes the first MAC CE to obtain a plurality of G-RNTI, determines MBS DRX configuration corresponding to each G-RNTI, and finally stops a DRX duration timer and an inactivity timer of the MBS DRX configuration corresponding to each G-RNTI.

For example, the first MAC CE carries G-rnti_1 and G-rnti_2, the G-rnti_1 corresponds to MBS DRX configuration 1, the G-rnti_2 corresponds to MBS DRX configuration 2, i.e., the G-rnti_1 is an RNTI for scrambling one primary MAC CE for indicating to deactivate MBS DRX configuration 1, the G-rnti_2 is an RNTI for scrambling another primary MAC CE for indicating to deactivate MBS DRX configuration 2, and the terminal determines from the G-rnti_1 and G-rnti_2 after receiving the first MAC CE, the first MAC CE is used to indicate to deactivate MBS DRX configuration 1 and MBS DRX configuration 2.

Optionally, the indication information includes an identifier of a G-RNTI corresponding to the MBS DRX configuration (i.e., the MBS DRX information is an identifier of the G-RNTI corresponding to the MBS DRX configuration).

The terminal distinguishes different MBS DRX configurations through mapping the identification carried in the first MAC CE to G-RNTI information, and then the corresponding MBS DRX configuration is deactivated.

After receiving the first MAC CE, the terminal analyzes the first MAC CE to obtain an identifier of the G-RNTI, determines the G-RNTI used for scrambling the PDCCH when the MAC CE is initially transmitted according to the identifier, further obtains MBS DRX configuration corresponding to the G-RNTI, and finally stops a DRX duration timer and an inactivity timer of the MBS DRX configuration corresponding to the G-RNTI.

In this embodiment of the present application, the identifier of the G-RNTI may be a bit string (a string of ordered binary bit values), and the G-RNTI is indicated by the bit where the bit string value is 1 or 0.

For example, 01000000 indicates a G-RNTI of number 1, i.e., G-RNTI_1, 01010000 indicates G-RNTI of numbers 1 and 3, i.e., G-RNTI_1 and G-RNTI_3, and 00000001 indicates a G-RNTI of number 7, i.e., G-RNTI_7.

Optionally, the terminal determines, according to the logical channel identifier included in the first MAC CE, an MBS DRX configuration corresponding to the logical channel identifier to be a deactivated MBS DRX configuration.

For example, MBS DRX configuration 0 corresponds to G-RNTI_0, MBS DRX configuration 1 corresponds to G-RNTI_1, …, and MBS DRX configuration M corresponds to G-RNTI_M. For G-RNTI_0, LCID/eLCID of its header is set to LCID0/eLCID0, for G-RNTI_1, LCID/eLCID of its header is set to LCID1/eLCID1, …, for G-RNTI_M, LCID/eLCID of its header is set to LCIDM/eLCIDM, and so on.

After the network device finds that the MBS service corresponding to the G-RNTI-0,G-RNTI-M has no subsequent service data transmission, the network device sends a first MAC CE to the terminal, after the terminal receives the first MAC CE, the terminal analyzes that LCID/eLCID contained in the first MAC CE is LCID0/eLCID0 and LCID M/eLCID, and then the terminal determines that MBS DRX configuration to be deactivated is MBS DRX configuration 0 and MBS DRX configuration M.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the indication information is contained in the MAC CE and is used for indicating the deactivated DRX configuration, so that different MBS DRX configurations are distinguished, and the reliability of the system is improved.

The method in the above embodiment is further described below with several specific examples.

Example one: DRX command MAC CE carries a G-RNTI.

Step one: the network equipment performs MBS configuration, and configures unicast DRX and MBS DRX for the terminal.

Specifically, the network device configures corresponding parameters for unicast DRX, including on duration timer, inactivity timer length, etc. The network device configures corresponding parameters for MBS DRX, each DRX configuration corresponds to a G-RNTI, and each DRX configuration comprises independent on duration timer and an inactivity timer.

Step two: and the terminal executes PDCCH interception according to the DRX parameters configured by the network equipment.

Selecting a unicast DRX interception mode under the condition that the service received by the terminal meets unicast DRX configuration; and selecting the MBS DRX interception mode under the condition that the service received by the terminal meets the DRX configuration of the MBS.

Step three: in case the network device finds that the terminal has no subsequent traffic data transmission, it sends DRX command MAC CE to the terminal.

For unicast DRX, the network device uses the C-RNTI scrambled PDCCH schedule DRX command MAC CE.

For MBS DRX, the network device configures the G-RNTI scrambled PDCCH schedule DRX command MAC CE with corresponding MBS DRX.

For example, DRX configuration 1 corresponds to G-RNTI_1, DRX configuration 2 corresponds to G-RNTI_2, and DRX configuration 3 corresponds to G-RNTI_3. After the network device finds that the MBS service corresponding to G-rnti_1 has no subsequent service data transmission, it will send DRX command MAC CE (initial transmission of DRX command MAC CE) to the terminal, where DRX command MAC CE is carried by the PDCCH scrambled by G-rnti_1.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 2, the format DRX command MAC CE of the initial transmission includes (carries) a G-RNTI in DRX command MAC CE.

Step four: the network device retransmits DRX command MAC CE.

The terminal may not decode DRX command MAC CE properly due to channel quality reasons, or other reasons. The network device feeds back NACK to the network device through the terminal, or the network device waits for a period of time, and still does not receive feedback from the terminal, and the network device determines that the terminal does not receive the NACK DRX command MAC CE correctly. The network device performs DRX command MAC CE retransmissions.

To ensure the reliability of the retransmission DRX command MAC CE, the network device adopts a PTP retransmission method, i.e. PDCCH retransmission scrambled with the C-RNTI.

The DRX command MAC CE format for retransmission by PTP is shown in fig. 2, and the DRX command MAC CE carries a G-RNTI.

Step five: after receiving the DRX command MAC CE retransmission, the terminal deactivates the DRX configuration corresponding to the G-RNTI.

After the terminal receives DRX command MAC CE shown in fig. 2, the terminal parses out the G-RNTI contained therein, and deactivates the DRX configuration corresponding to the G-RNTI, i.e., stops DRX onduration timer and the inactivity timer corresponding to the DRX configuration of the G-RNTI, and optionally, the terminal enters a long discontinuous reception (long DRX) cycle.

In the embodiment of the present application, each DRX command MAC CE carries a G-RNTI, and only the DRX configuration corresponding to the G-RNTI can be deactivated.

Example two: DRX command MAC CE carries one or more G-RNTIs.

For MBS DRX, the network device configures the corresponding G-RNTI scrambled PDCCH schedule DRX command MAC CE using MBS DRX.

For example, DRX configuration 0 corresponds to G-RNTI_0, …, DRX configuration M corresponds to G-RNTI_M, M being a non-negative integer. After the network device finds that the MBS service corresponding to G-rnti_0,G-rnti_m has no subsequent service data transmission, DRX command MAC CE (initial transmission of DRX command MAC CE) is sent to the terminal, where DRX command MAC CE is carried by the G-rnti_0/G-rnti_m scrambled PDCCH. But may also be any RNTI such as C-RNTI, G-rnti_0 or G-rnti_m-scrambled PDCCH. As shown in fig. 3, the MAC CE includes RNTIs such as G-rnti_0, …, and G-rnti_m. The number of G-RNTI (number) is used to indicate the number of G-RNTI (G-RNTI number) contained in the MAC CE. The minimum value of the G-RNTI number is 1.

Step four:

first case: the initial transmission DRX command MAC CE is successfully received.

And the terminal receives DRX command MAC CE sent by the network equipment, and activates the DRX configuration corresponding to the G-RNTI according to the G-RNTI information.

For example, G-RNTI_0 and G-RNTI_M are carried in the initial transmission DRX command MAC CE, and the terminal deactivates the DRX configuration corresponding to the G-RNTI_0 and G-RNTI_M.

Second case: the initial transmission DRX command MAC CE is not successfully received and the network device retransmits DRX command MAC CE.

To facilitate the terminal distinguishing the current retransmission DRX command MAC CE, the network device sends DRX command MAC CE to the terminal a format as shown in fig. 3, with the retransmitted DRX command MAC CE carrying one or more G-RNTIs.

After the terminal receives DRX command MAC CE shown in fig. 3, one or more G-RNTIs contained therein are parsed, and the DRX configuration corresponding to each G-RNTI is deactivated. I.e., stop DRX onduration timer and inactivity timer, and enter the long DRX cycle.

For example, G-rnti_0 and G-rnti_m are carried in the retransmission DRX command MAC CE, and the terminal will deactivate the DRX configuration of the corresponding G-rnti_0 and G-rnti_m.

In the embodiment of the application, each DRX command MAC CE includes one or more G-RNTIs, and the DRX configuration corresponding to the one or more G-RNTIs can be deactivated.

Example three: DRX command MAC CE carries the identification of the G-RNTI corresponding to the MBS DRX configuration.

For example, DRX configuration 0 corresponds to G-RNTI_0, …, and DRX configuration M corresponds to G-RNTI_M. After the network device finds that the MBS service corresponding to G-rnti_0,G-rnti_m has no subsequent service data transmission, DRX command MAC CE (initial transmission of DRX command MAC CE) is sent to the terminal, where DRX command MAC CE is carried by the G-rnti_0/G-rnti_m scrambled PDCCH. But may also be any RNTI such as C-RNTI, G-rnti_0 or G-rnti_m-scrambled PDCCH. As shown in fig. 4, the MAC CE carries an identifier of the G-RNTI corresponding to the MBS DRX configuration.

For example, the G-RNTI configuration addition mode list (G-RNTI-configtoadmodlist) is indicated by radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling, and this cell (Information Element, IE) carries G-RNTI information. The network device may correspond the identity in DRX command MAC CE to the G-RNTI order of the above IEs.

For example, the g-RNTI-ConfigToAddModList format is as follows: g-RNTI-ConfigToAddModList-r17 SEQUENCE (SIZE (1..maxG-RNTI-r 17)) OF Group-Config-r17

And the Group-configuration (Group-Config) signaling structure is as follows:

G-RNTI information is carried through Group-Config signaling, and since G-RNTI-ConfigtoadModList is a list of Group-Config, the terminal can correspond to the identification of G-RNTI according to the sequence of the list, for example, the Group pConfig with the number 0 in G-RNTI-ConfigtoadModList, the identification of G-RNTI is G0 and …, the m-th Group pConfig in G-RNTI-ConfigtoadModList, and the identification of G-RNTI is Gm. And so on. The final DRX command MAC CE format is shown in fig. 4.

Step four:

For example, the value of G0 in DRX command MAC CE of initial transmission is 1, which indicates that the terminal will deactivate the DRX configuration corresponding to G-RNTI in groupConfig with number 0 in G-RNTI-configtoadmodlist, and the value of G-RNTI in DRX command MAC CE of initial transmission is 0, which indicates that the terminal does not need to deactivate the corresponding DRX configuration.

The terminal may not decode DRX command MAC CE properly due to channel quality reasons, or other reasons. The terminal feeds back NACK to the network device, or the network device waits for a period of time, and still does not receive feedback from the terminal, and the network device determines that the terminal does not receive DRX command MAC CE correctly. The network device performs DRX command MAC CE retransmissions.

The DRX command MAC CE format sent by the network device to the terminal is shown in fig. 4 in order to facilitate the terminal to distinguish between the current retransmissions DRX command MAC CE.

After the terminal receives DRX command MAC CE shown in fig. 4, resolving the identifier of the G-RNTI contained in the MAC CE, determining the G-RNTI in the G-RNTI-configtoadmodlist according to the identifier, and deactivating the DRX configuration corresponding to the G-RNTI. I.e., stop DRX onduration timer and inactivity timer, optionally may instruct the terminal to enter the long DRX cycle.

In an embodiment of the present application, each DRX command MAC CE can deactivate one or more DRX configurations corresponding to the G-RNTI.

Example four: DRX command MAC CE carries the identity of the MBS DRX configuration.

For example, DRX configuration 0 corresponds to G-RNTI_0, …, and DRX configuration M corresponds to G-RNTI_M. After the network device finds that the MBS service corresponding to G-rnti_0,G-rnti_m has no subsequent service data transmission, DRX command MAC CE (initial transmission of DRX command MAC CE) is sent to the terminal, where DRX command MAC CE is carried by the G-rnti_0/G-rnti_m scrambled PDCCH. But may also be any RNTI such as C-RNTI, G-rnti_0 or G-rnti_m-scrambled PDCCH. As shown in fig. 5, the MAC CE carries the identifier of the MBS DRX configuration.

For example, RRC signaling includes MBS-SessionInfo, and this IE carries G-RNTI information. The network device may correspond the identity in DRX command MAC CE to the G-RNTI order of the above IEs.

For example, the MBS-Session Info format is shown below:

it can be seen that the G-RNTI has a one-to-one mapping relationship with the DRX configuration, and the network device may correspond the order of the DRX configuration to the order of the IEs in the MBS-sessionlnfolist.

The terminal may correspond to the identifications of the DRX configurations according to the order of the list, for example, the IE numbered 0 in MBS-SessionInfoList, the identifications of the DRX configurations are D0, …, the mth IE in MBS-SessionInfoList, and the identifications of the DRX configurations are Dm. And so on. The final DRX command MAC CE format is shown in fig. 6.

Step four:

For example, if D0 in the initial transmission DRX command MAC CE has a value of 1, the terminal will deactivate the DRX configuration corresponding to the IE numbered 0 in MBS-sessionlnfolist.

The DRX command MAC CE format sent by the network device to the terminal is shown in fig. 5 in order to facilitate the terminal to distinguish between the current retransmissions DRX command MAC CE.

Step five: after receiving the retransmission DRX command MAC CE, the terminal deactivates the corresponding DRX configuration.

After the terminal receives DRX command MAC CE shown in fig. 5, the identifier of the DRX configuration contained in the MAC CE is parsed, an IE in the MBS-SessionInfoList is determined according to the identifier, and the DRX configuration corresponding to the IE is deactivated. I.e., stop DRX onduration timer and inactivity timer, optionally instruct the terminal to enter the long DRX cycle.

In an embodiment of the present application, each DRX command MAC CE can deactivate one or more corresponding DRX configurations.

Example five: DRX command MAC CE carries a Logical Channel Identity (LCID)/enhanced logical channel identity (eclpid) mapped to the G-RNTI.

For example, DRX configuration 0 corresponds to G-RNTI_0, …, and DRX configuration M corresponds to G-RNTI_M. After the network device finds that the MBS service corresponding to G-rnti_0,G-rnti_m has no subsequent service data transmission, DRX command MAC CE (initial transmission of DRX command MAC CE) is sent to the terminal, where DRX command MAC CE is carried by the G-rnti_0/G-rnti_m scrambled PDCCH.

DRX command MAC CE, which may also be LCID/eLCID differentiation.

For example, for G-RNTI_0, LCID/eLCID of its header is set to LCID0/eLCID0, …, for G-RNTI_M, LCID/eLCID of its header is set to LCIDM/eLCIDM, and so on.

Step four:

The terminal receives DRX command MAC CE sent by the network device, and deactivates the DRX configuration corresponding to the corresponding LCID/eLCID according to the LCID/eLCID information.

For example, if the value of LCID/eclcid in the initial transmission DRX command MAC CE is LCID 0/eclcid 0, the terminal will deactivate the DRX configuration corresponding to the G-RNTI.

DRX command MAC CE, which may be LCID/eclcd differentiated.

After the terminal receives DRX command MAC CE, resolving the LCID/eLCID contained in the MAC CE, and deactivating the DRX configuration corresponding to the LCID/eLCID. I.e., stop DRX onduration timer and inactivity timer, and enter the long DRX cycle.

In an embodiment of the present application, each DRX command MAC CE can deactivate a corresponding DRX configuration.
