METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DL-UL (DOWNLINK-UPLINK) INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT AND TRAFFIC ADAPTATION

摘要

A method and apparatus are disclosed for DL-UL (Downlink-Uplink) interference management and traffic adaptation. The method includes a UE (User Equipment) being connected with an eNB (evolved Node B), and is configured with a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation and an eIMTA operation. The method also includes the UE monitors Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a subframe for a potential scheduling from the eNB when a DRX timer associated with the DRX operation is running, and the UE increments the running DRX timer by one. The method further includes the UE monitors PDCCH in the subframe when the DRX timer is running, and does not increment the DRX timer by one when the subframe is a DL subframe as indicated by an explicit signaling associated with the eIMTA operation.

1. A method for enhanced DL-UL (Downlink-Uplink) interference management and traffic adaptation (eIMTA), comprising:
a UE (User Equipment) is connected with an eNB (evolved Node B), and is configured with a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation and an eIMTA operation; the UE monitors Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a subframe for a potential scheduling from the eNB when a DRX timer associated with the DRX operation is running, and the UE increments the running DRX timer by one; and the UE monitors PDCCH in the subframe when the DRX timer is running, and does not increment the DRX timer by one when the subframe is a DL subframe as indicated by an explicit signaling associated with the eIMTA operation.
