Abstract
The present disclosure relates to technique for facilitating PDCCH monitoring in carrier aggregation for lower power consumption. A UE monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a secondary cell (SCell). The UE stops the PDCCH monitoring on the SCell in response to a monitoring-stoppage event. Then, the UE resumes the PDCCH monitoring on the SCell in response to a monitoring-resumption event. The SCell may remain active during a period between the stopping of the PDCCH monitoring and the resuming of the PDCCH monitoring.
