Discontinuous reception method and user equipment using the same

摘要

The present application relates to a DRX method in a CoMP scenario. In one embodiment, the DRX method comprises steps of detecting a new transmission on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of one of at least two Base Stations (BSs) each of which is serving the UE; and triggering a DRX thread for continuously monitoring the PDCCH of the one BS on which the new transmission is detected. There is also provided a user equipment using the DRX method.

1. A Discontinuous Reception (DRX) method of a User Equipment (UE) in a DRX mode, the method comprising:
detecting a new transmission on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of a first Base Station (BS) of at least two Base Stations (BSs), each of which is serving the UE; and triggering a DRX thread performed by the UE for continuously monitoring the PDCCH of the first BS on which the new transmission is detected, wherein the DRX thread performed by the UE for continuously monitoring the PDCCH of the first BS is independent from a thread performed by the UE for a ePDCCH of a second BS of the at least two BSs, wherein the UE is served by the first BS of the at least two BSs that is a downlink serving node and by a second BS of the at least two BSs that is an uplink serving node, and wherein a downlink of the first BS is decoupled from an uplink of the second BS.
