RECEPTION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTI-CARRIER DISCONTINUOUS SCHEDULING

摘要

A reception method for multi-carrier discontinuous scheduling is provided, which belongs to the technical field of communication. The method comprises: user equipment(UE) checks that multiple carriers are currently in the activated status; the UE configures timer(s) for the multiple carriers; according to the timer status or the discontinuous reception(DRX) process in which the UE is currently, the UE sets the multiple carriers in the DRX active status. Also a reception apparatus for multi-carrier discontinuous scheduling is provided. The method and apparatus can solve the problem that each of the activated carriers can not be ensured to be in the same DRX status after the activation deactivation mechanism is introduced into multiple carriers, thus ensuring the good backward compatibility for a system.
