Background technique

Currently, a discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism is introduced in the communication system. Under the DRX mechanism, the terminal device in the radio resource control (RRC) connected state will enter the activation (active) time period and the deactivation time (inactive) period. When the terminal device enters the activation time period, the terminal device performs Detection of downlink control channel (physical downlink control channel, PDCCH), and when the terminal equipment enters the deactivation period, the terminal equipment no longer performs PDCCH detection, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing terminal power consumption.

For example, these other signals include synchronization signal block (SSB) signals, physical random access Channel (physical random access channel, PRACH) signals, etc., make it impossible for the base station to turn off the transmission of other signals mentioned above, resulting in greater power consumption of the base station.

Currently, for the communication system shown in Figure 1, in order to save the power consumption of the terminal device 102, a discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism and a secondary cell (secondary cell, Scell) sleep mechanism are introduced.

Next, let’s first explain the content of the DRX mechanism:

1. DRX mechanism

The DRX mechanism is to configure a DRX cycle for the terminal device in the radio resource control (RRC) connected state. The DRX cycle consists of "on Duration" and "Opportunity for DRX": During the "on Duration" period, the terminal device detects and receives the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) ; During the "DRX opportunity" period, the terminal equipment does not detect PDCCH to save power consumption.

Among them, in this application, the "duration" time period is also called the activation time period, and the "DRX opportunity" time period is also called the deactivation time period. For example, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the DRX basic model provided by this application. As shown in Figure 2, the terminal equipment in the RRC connected state periodically enters the activation time period and the deactivation time period. When the terminal equipment enters the activation time period, the terminal equipment performs PDCCH detection, and when the terminal equipment enters the deactivation time During this period, the terminal equipment no longer detects the PDCCH, that is, the terminal equipment does not need to be in a state of detecting the PDCCH all the time, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing terminal power consumption.

Currently, the base station sends DRX configuration information to the terminal device, so that the terminal device enters the activation mode within a specified time period based on the DRX configuration information, and enters the deactivation mode at the rest of the time to achieve sleep under the DRX mechanism. Specifically, the DRX configuration mainly includes the following parameters:

Activation timer (on Duration Timer): It can be understood as a continuous number of downlink subframes, indicating the time that the terminal device can maintain after waking up. Within this number of consecutive downlink subframes, the terminal device needs to listen to the physical downlink control channel.

DRX inactivity timer (DRX-Inactivity Timer): It can also be understood as a continuous number of downlink subframes. The DRX inactivation timer is started when the terminal device successfully demodulates the first symbol after the reception of the PDCCH that schedules the new transmission (uplink or downlink) of the terminal device, indicating that the corresponding MAC receives a PDCCH indicating a new transmission. The length of time to monitor PDCCH is also required. That is to say, it is necessary to continue to monitor the physical downlink control channel during the timing period of the DRX inactivation timer.

Downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round trip time (RTT) timer (Timer) and downlink DRX retransmission timer (DRX–Retransmission Timer): When the terminal device receives a Downlink control information (DCI) indicates that a physical downlink shared control channel (PDSCH) transmission or a downlink semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) PDSCH transmission is received (it does not distinguish whether the PDSCH is New transmission or retransmission), the terminal equipment will start the downlink at the starting moment of the first symbol after the end symbol of the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) that carries the feedback information "ACK/NACK" of the PDSCH transmission. HARQ-RTT-Timer and stop the downlink DRX retransmission timer; when the downlink HARQ-RTT-Timer ends and the terminal device does not successfully receive the PDSCH transmission, start the downlink DRX retransmission timer. If the terminal device successfully receives the PDSCH transmission, then Do not start the downlink Retransmission Timer.

Uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round trip time (RTT) timer (Timer) and uplink DRX retransmission timer (DRX–Retransmission Timer): When the terminal device receives a DCI indicates that a physical uplink shared control channel (PUSCH) transmission or a configured uplink grant (CG) type PUSCH transmission is activated, and the terminal device will perform the first repetition of the PUSCH transmission. At the start time of the first symbol after the end symbol, start the uplink HARQ-RTT-Timer and stop the uplink DRX retransmission timer; when the uplink HARQ-RTT-Timer ends, start the uplink Retransmission Timer.

To sum up, the terminal equipment is considered to be in the activation period in any of the following situations; otherwise, it is considered to be in the deactivation period: activation time timer, DRX inactivation timer, downlink DRX retransmission timer, uplink DRX retransmission timer During the running time of the timer.

In addition, under the DRX mechanism, when the terminal device sends a scheduling request and the scheduling request is in the "pending" state, and when the terminal device ends based on the non-contention random access process, the terminal device receives a PDCCH indicating a cell wireless network temporary identifier. When a new scrambled transmission is not successfully received, the terminal device is also considered to be in the activation period.

That is to say, for the DRX mechanism, during the operation of the activation time timer, DRX inactivation timer, downlink DRX retransmission timer, uplink DRX retransmission timer, and when the terminal device sends a scheduling request and the scheduling request is pending In the "pending" state and when the terminal equipment receives a PDCCH indicating that a new transmission scrambled by a cell wireless network temporary identifier has not been successfully received, the terminal equipment is in the time period for PDCCH detection, and in the remaining time periods, the terminal equipment is in a non-stop state. The deactivation period for PDCCH detection is performed to reduce the power consumption of the terminal equipment.

In this application, the deactivation period may also be referred to as the dormancy period under the DRX mechanism.

Next, the content of Scell sleep mechanism is explained:

The Scell sleep mechanism refers to: when there is no data transmission on the SCell, the terminal device enters the sleep state on the Scell (in this application, the Scell that needs to sleep is also called a sleep Scell). When the terminal device enters the sleep state on the dormant Scell, the terminal device does not receive downlink signals or transmit uplink signals except for channel state information (CSI) measurement. It can be seen that in this state, the power consumption of the terminal device is relatively low.

Correspondingly, for a non-dormant Scell, the terminal device still detects the PDCCH relatively frequently, for example, detects the PDCCH in every downlink time slot, and can perform CSI measurement and reporting. It can be seen that in this state, the terminal device consumes relatively large power.

Currently, the base station implements dormancy of the terminal device on the Scell by sending DCI instructions to the terminal device.

Specifically, when the terminal device has data transmission requirements on the Scell, the base station can send a DCI indication to the terminal device on the Pcell of the terminal device to instruct the terminal device to sleep on the Scell. Correspondingly, the terminal device performs data transmission according to the DCI received on the Pcell. Instructs the Scell to enter the sleep state; when the terminal device has no data transmission requirements on the Scell, the base station can again instruct the terminal device to quickly switch to the non-sleep state on the Scell through the corresponding DCI for scheduling information detection and data transmission. .

That is to say, in the Scell sleep mechanism, the terminal device can enter Scell sleep through the DCI indication received by the base station on the Pcell, so that the terminal device does not receive downlink signals or transmit uplink signals except for CSI measurement on the dormant Scell. time period (which may also be called the sleep time period under the Scell sleep mechanism in this application), thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal device.

However, the DRX mechanism and cScell sleep mechanism still have the following problems:

When reducing the power consumption of terminal equipment based on the DRX mechanism, the terminal equipment may still receive or send some signals during the sleep period under the DRX mechanism. Some of the signals include, for example: synchronization signal block (SSB) ), physical random access channel (physical random access channel, PRACH); 2) system information (SI)/random access (RA)/temporary cell (Temporary cell, TC)/paging (Paging )/Power saving (PS) wireless network temporary identifier (RNTI) scrambled PDCCH; 3) SPS PDSCH; 4) CG PUSCH; 5) HARQ-ACK of SPS PDSCH; 6) SR/BFR . Therefore, for the DRX mechanism, when the terminal device is in the sleep period under the DRX mechanism, the terminal device is not truly sleeping. Correspondingly, the base station cannot turn off the transmission of the above signals and go to sleep, otherwise it will affect the reception and transmission of the terminal equipment. In addition, DRX configuration is configured through RRC signaling, and the time between two RRC reconfigurations is long, resulting in poor flexibility in DRX configuration.

As for the Scell sleep mechanism, when the base station instructs the terminal device to enter the sleep state on the Scell, the terminal device may still transmit some signals during the sleep period of the Scell. For example, the base station will still send SSB on the Scell. Correspondingly, the terminal Even if the device is instructed to sleep on the Scell, it must continue to detect SSB on the sleeping Scell.

Therefore, when the terminal device is in the sleep period under the Scell sleep mechanism, the terminal device is not truly sleeping. As a result, the base station cannot turn off the transmission of the above-mentioned SSB signal, making it impossible to achieve deep sleep of the terminal equipment and the base station.

In other words, whether it is the DRX sleep mechanism or the Scell sleep mechanism, when the terminal device is in the sleep period, the terminal device does not truly sleep. Correspondingly, the base station cannot truly sleep, so it cannot go further. Reduce the power consumption of terminal equipment or base station.

In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide a signal transmission method and device.

Figure 3 is a schematic flowchart of a signal transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3, the signal transmission method includes: S301 and S302.

S301. The access network device sends the first information to the terminal device, and accordingly, the terminal device receives the first information; wherein the first information indicates the first mode, and the first mode indicates the transceiver status of the first signal, and the transceiver status includes Any of the following sending and receiving states: sending, receiving, not sending, not receiving.

S302: Determine the sending and receiving status of the first signal according to the first mode.

In this embodiment, the access network device may carry the first information in MAC-CE or DCI and send it to the terminal device. As for the terminal device, the first information can be received on the Pcell, the first information can be received on the Scell, or the first information can be received on the Pcell and the Scell at the same time, which does not constitute a limitation of this application.

Specifically, the first signal described in this application may include at least one group of signals among the first group of signals, the second group of signals, the third group of signals and the fourth group of signals:

Among them, the first group of signals includes any one or more of the following signals: cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) scrambled PDCCH, configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier (configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier, CS-RNTI) scrambled PDCCH, slot format indicators (SFI)-RNTI scrambled PDCCH, INI-RNTI scrambled PDCCH, cancellation indication (Cancellation indication, CI)-RNTI scrambled PDCCH, uplink power control information of the physical uplink control channel (also called TPC-PUCCH)-RNTI scrambled PDCCH, uplink power control information of the physical uplink shared channel (also called TPC-PUSCH-RNTI)-RNTI scrambling PDCCH, dynamically scheduled physical downlink shared channel, uplink power control information of channel sounding reference signal (also called TPC-SRS)-RNTI scrambled PDCCH, Availability indication (AI)-RNTI scrambled PDCCH.

The second type of group of signals includes any one or more of the following signals: hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment of the dynamically scheduled physical downlink shared channel (also called HARQ-ACK of the dynamically scheduled PDSCH), aperiodic sounding reference signals (A-SRS), periodic sounding reference signal (P-SRS), semi-static sounding reference signal (SP-SRS), aperiodic channel state information (A-SRS), periodic channel state information (P-SRS) ), semi-static channel state information (SP-SRS), dynamic grant (DG) PUSCH.

The third group of signals includes any one or more of the following signals: SSB, BFR, semi-statically scheduled physical downlink data channel (SPS PDSCH), system information (SI)/random access (RA) )/Temporary cell (TC)/Paging/Power saving (PS)-RNTI scrambled PDCCH.

The fourth group of signals includes any one or more of the following signals: licensed physical uplink shared channel (CG PUSCH), half Hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK of SPS PDSCH), scheduling request (SR), and physical random access channel (PRACH) of the statically scheduled physical downlink shared channel.

It can be seen that among the above four groups of signals, the first group of signals and the third group of signals are both downlink signals, the second group of signals and the fourth group of signals are both uplink signals, and both the first group of signals and the second group of signals are affected by Impact of DRX configuration. Therefore, in this application, in order to facilitate signal differentiation, the first group of signals is also called the first type of downlink signals, the second group of signals is also called the first type of uplink signals, and the third group of signals is also called The second type of downlink signals and the fourth group of signals are also called second type of uplink signals. Among them, the first type of signal (including the first type of downlink signal and the first type of uplink signal) is affected by the DRX configuration. It can also be considered that the access network equipment side and the terminal equipment side will only activate at the activation time indicated by the DRX configuration. The first type of signal is transmitted during the deactivation period, and the first type of signal is not transmitted during the deactivation period, so it is also called a signal that the DRX configuration can manage. As for the second type of signal, it can be considered as a signal that is not affected by the DRX configuration.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the transmission and reception state of the first signal includes any one of the following transmission and reception states: sending, receiving, not sending, and not receiving. Among them, sending includes any of the following: sending based on the target discontinuous reception DRX configuration information configured by the base station for the terminal device, sending based on RRC configuration information, and sending based on dynamic scheduling information; and receiving includes any of the following: based on the target DRX configuration information is received, RRC configuration information is received, and dynamic scheduling information is received.

It should be understood that when the first signal is an uplink signal, for the access network device, it refers to receiving the first signal, and for the terminal device, it refers to sending the first signal; and when the first signal When it is a downlink signal, for the access network device, it refers to sending the first signal, and for the terminal device, it refers to receiving the first signal.

In this embodiment, the network device indicates a mode (ie, the first mode) to the terminal device through the first information. In this embodiment, the first mode is one of multiple modes, and different modes among the multiple modes indicate different transmitting and receiving states of the first signal. In specific implementation, the first information can be set to different values to indicate that the first mode is different, so that the indicated sending and receiving status of the first signal is different, or in other words, when sending to When the content of the first information of the terminal device is different, the indicated first mode is different.

In this embodiment, the modes indicated by the terminal device may include the following modes, and the first mode is any one of the following modes:

The first mode: indicates that the first signal includes the first group of signals, the second group of signals, the third group of signals and the fourth group of signals. The sending and receiving status of the first signal is that the terminal device transmits and receives the signal based on RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information. take over.

It can be understood that when the transmission and reception status of the first signal indicated by the first mode is such a situation, the access device will send the first group of signals and the third group of signals based on the RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information, and based on the RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information to receive the second group of signals and the fourth group of signals; accordingly, the terminal device will receive the first group of signals and the third group of signals based on the RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information, and based on the RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information A second set of signals and said fourth set of signals are transmitted.

It should be noted that in this first mode, if the terminal device is configured with a DRX configuration, the access device still sends the first set of signals and the third set of signals based on the RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information; accordingly, the terminal device The first group of signals and the third group of signals are still received based on the RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information. That is to say, in the first mode, if the terminal device is configured with a DRX configuration, the DRX configuration is also ignored (that is, the DRX configuration is invalid for the first type of signal, and the first type of signal is no longer sent according to the DRX configuration. or receiving), but based on the transceiver status of the first signal indicated by the first mode.

It can also be understood that in this first mode, the access network equipment can perform convergence scheduling. When the service load is relatively light, since the service of each terminal equipment can tolerate a certain delay, the access network equipment All signals can be gathered together and scheduled to enter deep sleep in the later period.

The second mode: indicates that the first signal includes the first group of signals, the second group of signals, the third group of signals and the fourth group of signals, and the transceiver status is that the terminal device does not receive or transmit.

It can be understood that when the transmission and reception status of the first signal indicated by the first mode is such a situation, the access network device does not send the first group of signals and the third group of signals, and does not receive the second group of signals and the fourth group of signals. signals; accordingly, the terminal device does not receive the first group of signals and the third group of signals, and does not send the second group of signals and the fourth group of signals.

It should be noted that in this first mode, if the terminal device is configured with a DRX configuration, the access device still does not send the first set of signals and does not receive the second set of signals; accordingly, the terminal device still does not receive the first set of signals. group signal and does not send the second group signal. That is to say, in the first mode, if the terminal device is configured with a DRX configuration, the DRX configuration is also ignored (i.e., the DRX The configuration is invalid for the first type of signal, and the first type of signal is no longer transmitted or received according to the DRX configuration), but is based on the transmission and reception status of the first signal indicated by the first mode.

It can also be understood that in the first mode, the access network device turns off all signals, so the access network device can enter deep sleep, and after notifying the terminal device, the terminal device can also enter deep sleep.

The third mode: indicates that the first signal includes the third group of signals and the fourth group of signals, and the transceiver status is that the terminal device does not receive or transmit.

It can be understood that when the transmission and reception status of the first signal indicated by the first mode is such a situation, the access network device sends the first set of signals and receives the second set of signals based on the target DRX configuration information, and does not send the third set of signals. group of signals and does not receive the fourth group of signals; accordingly, the terminal device receives the first group of signals and sends the second group of signals based on the target DRX configuration information, and does not receive the third group of signals and does not send the fourth group of signals.

It can also be understood that in this first mode, the access network device turns off signals that are not affected by the DRX configuration. In this way, the terminal device can only send or receive signals during the activation time period indicated by the DRX configuration. When sleeping during the inactive time period, the access network equipment can really sleep during the inactive time period, otherwise the access network equipment still has to wake up from the inactive time period.

The fourth mode: indicates that the first signal includes the first group of signals and the second group of signals, and the transceiving state is that the terminal device does not receive or transmit.

It can be understood that when the transmission and reception status of the first signal indicated by the first mode is such a situation, the access network device does not send the first set of signals and does not receive the second set of signals, and based on the RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information Send a third group of signals and receive a fourth group of signals; accordingly, the terminal device does not receive the first group of signals and does not send the second group of signals, and receives the third group of signals and sends the fourth group of signals based on the RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information. Signal.

It should be noted that in this first mode, if the terminal device is configured with a DRX configuration, the access device still does not send the first set of signals and does not receive the second set of signals; accordingly, the terminal device still does not receive the first set of signals. group signal and the third group signal. That is to say, in the first mode, if the terminal device is configured with a DRX configuration, the DRX configuration is also ignored (that is, the DRX configuration is invalid for the first type of signal, and the first type of signal is no longer sent according to the DRX configuration. or receiving), but based on the transceiver status of the first signal indicated by the first mode.

It can also be understood that in this first mode, the access network device shuts down the first type of signals that were originally affected by the DRX configuration. In this way, after the shutdown, if there is no other version of the statically configured signal to send and receive, only With dynamic signals, when there is no actual service, both the access network equipment and the terminal equipment can go into deep sleep in both directions, otherwise they have to wake up periodically according to the DRX configuration.

The fifth mode: indicates that the first signal includes the first group of signals, the second group of signals, the third group of signals and the fourth group of signals, and the transceiver status is that the terminal device receives and sends based on the target DRX configuration information.

It can be understood that when the transmission and reception status of the first signal indicated by the first mode is such a situation, the access network device sends the first set of signals and the third set of signals based on the target DRX configuration information, and receives the first set of signals based on the target DRX configuration information. the second group of signals and the fourth group of signals; correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first group of signals and the third group of signals based on the target DRX configuration information, and sends the second group of signals and the fourth group of signals based on the target DRX configuration information.

It can also be understood that in the first mode, the access network device turns off the second type of signals that are always sent and received without being affected by the DRX configuration into signals that are sent and received based on the DRX configuration. In this method, since the second type of signal is turned off and becomes a signal that is sent and received based on the DRX configuration, the terminal equipment and the access network equipment can truly sleep periodically based on the DRX configuration.

The sixth mode: indicates that the first signal includes a first group of signals and a second group of signals, and the transceiving state is that the terminal device receives the first group of signals and sends the second group of signals based on the target DRX configuration information.

It can be understood that when the transmission and reception status of the first signal indicated by the first mode is such a situation, the access network device sends the first set of signals and receives the second set of signals based on the target DRX configuration information, and based on the RRC configuration information or The dynamic scheduling information sends a third group of signals and receives a fourth group of signals; accordingly, the terminal device receives the first group of signals and sends the second group of signals based on the target DRX configuration information, and receives the third group of signals based on the RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information. Signal and send the fourth set of signals.

It should be noted here that the above six modes are only examples and do not constitute a limitation of this application. For example, during specific implementation, more modes can be set, wherein the more modes, for example, only act on downlink signals (that is, include the first group of signals and the third group of signals). three groups of signals); or, for example, the more modes only act on uplink signals (that is, including the second group of signals and the fourth group of signals), etc.

In the signal transmission method provided by this application, the access network device indicates the transceiver status of the first signal by sending the first information to the terminal device, so that the transceiver status between the access network device and the terminal device remains consistent, thereby providing access It provides a prerequisite for network equipment and terminal equipment to enter deep sleep, which helps access network equipment and terminal equipment to achieve deep sleep to further reduce power consumption.

As an optional embodiment, when this application is implemented, the access network device may send the first information in a multicast or broadcast manner. That is, the access network device only sends PDCCH or PDSCH on a certain time-frequency resource, and then all terminal devices receive PDCCH or PDSCH on the same time-frequency resource, and obtain the first mode indicated by their corresponding access network device.

In a first possible implementation, the first information sent by the network device may include multiple bits, and then the multiple bits may indicate multiple terminal devices at the same time.

For example, as shown in Figure 4, assume that the first information consists of two bits, which can indicate 4 different states, and assume that the value of the first bit is 0, and the value of the second bit is 0. The value of the bit is 0, then when terminal device 1 receives the first information, it can be determined that the access network device indicates mode 1, and when terminal device 2 receives the first information, it can be determined that the access network device Mode 4 is indicated, and then terminal device 1 can determine the transmission and reception status of the first signal based on mode 1 for transmission, and terminal device 2 can transmit based on the transmission and reception status of each of the different signals corresponding to mode 4. It can be seen that in this indication method, the same first information may indicate the same mode or different modes for different terminal devices.

In a second possible implementation, the first information may include multiple bits, and different bits correspond to different terminal devices, and different values of the bits corresponding to each terminal device indicate different modes. Exemplarily, FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an indication method provided by another embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 takes three terminal devices as an example for illustration. As shown in Figure 5, terminal device 1 corresponds to the first bit and the second bit in the first information, and terminal device 2 corresponds to the third bit and fourth bit in the first information. The terminal device 3 corresponds to the fifth bit and the sixth bit in the first information. Then, after the access network device sends the first information, when the terminal device 1 receives the first information, it can be determined that the network device indicates mode 1, and when the terminal device 2 receives the first information, it can be determined that The network device indicates mode 2; and after the terminal device 3 receives the first information, it can be determined that the network device indicates mode 3.

As an optional embodiment, the non-reception or non-sending of the first signal described above in this application refers to a period of time or is triggered by the first information.

In specific implementation, when the terminal device receives the first information for a period of time, the terminal device receives another first information. In this case, the communication between the terminal device and the access network device is based on the new first information. The indicated new mode (that is, the indicated new first signal sending and receiving state) is used for communication. For example, the first information sent by the access network equipment to the terminal equipment indicates the second mode described in the embodiment shown in Figure 3. After a period of time, the access network equipment sends a new third information to the terminal equipment. a piece of information, and the new first information indicates the fifth mode described in the embodiment shown in Figure 3, then, after the terminal device receives the new first information, it communicates with the access network device based on the third mode. The five modes indicate the transceiver status of the first signal for communication.

During specific implementation, the access network device may also send RRC signaling to the terminal device, where the RRC signaling carries information indicating a first time period, and the first time period indicates the continuation of the sending and receiving state of the first signal. time. In this embodiment, after the access network device sends the first information to the terminal device, it starts timing, and returns to the default mode after the time exceeds the time period indicated by the first time period. Optionally, the default mode is that the first type of signal is received or sent based on DRX configuration, and the second type of signal is received or sent based on RRC configuration information or dynamic scheduling information.

It should be noted that in this application, the first information should not be affected by the DRX configuration. That is to say, even in the inactive period indicated by the DRX configuration, the first information sent by the access network device can be received by the terminal device.

Optionally, in this application, when the first information is used to indicate the transmission and reception status of the first signal, the first signal can be a signal on Pcell or a signal on Scell, which does not constitute a limitation of this application.

Optionally, in this application, when the terminal device receives the first information and determines the sending and receiving state of the first signal according to the first mode, the time when the terminal device actually enters the sending and receiving state of the first signal in the first mode (i.e. The effective time) may be: when the terminal equipment processes the PDCCH or PDSCH; or, after the terminal equipment processes the PDCCH or PDSCH and sends ACK or NACK to the access network equipment; or, based on the effective time configured by higher layer signaling; or, after Configured target DRX configuration Set the already running DRX timer to finish running; or, effective immediately, turn off all running DRX timers.
