By transmitting link control information, the DRX timer is prevented from expiring.
- the gNB when there is no transmission target data for the UE in the transmission buffer of the eNB and no transmission target data for the UE in the gNB transmission buffer, the gNB is transmitted to the gNB transmission buffer.

- RS Reference Signal
- Pilot pilot
- the phrase “based on” does not mean “based only on,” unless expressly stated otherwise. In other words, the phrase “based on” means both “based only on” and “based at least on.”
- any reference to an element using the designation "first,” “second,” etc. as used herein does not generally limit the quantity or order of those elements. These designations may be used herein as a convenient way of distinguishing between two or more elements. Thus, reference to the first and second elements does not mean that only two elements can be taken there, or that in any way the first element must precede the second element.
- each device described above may be replaced with a “unit”, a “circuit”, a “device” or the like.
- a radio frame may be comprised of one or more frames in the time domain. Each frame or frames in the time domain may be referred to as subframes. A subframe may be further comprised of one or more slots in the time domain. A slot may further be configured with one or more symbols (OFDM symbols, SC-FDMA symbols, etc.) in the time domain. A radio frame, a subframe, a slot, and a symbol all represent time units in transmitting a signal. A radio frame, a subframe, a slot, and a symbol may be another name corresponding to each. For example, in the LTE system, the base station performs scheduling to assign radio resources (such as frequency bandwidth and transmission power that can be used in each mobile station) to each mobile station.
- radio resources such as frequency bandwidth and transmission power that can be used in each mobile station
- the minimum time unit of scheduling may be called a TTI (Transmission Time Interval).
- TTI Transmission Time Interval
- one subframe may be called a TTI
- a plurality of consecutive subframes may be called a TTI
- one slot may be called a TTI.
- a resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in time domain and frequency domain, and may include one or more consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain.
- the time domain of a resource block may include one or more symbols, and may be one slot, one subframe, or one TTI long.
- One TTI and one subframe may be configured of one or more resource blocks, respectively.
