Methods and apparatuses for monitoring NPDCCH in NBIoT are disclosed. A method comprises receiving a first control signal scheduling a data transmission; and monitoring a second control signal from a start time slot to an end time slot, wherein the start time slot is a gap period behind the last time slot for receiving the first control signal, and the end time slot is a time period ahead of the first time slot for the data transmission.

Provided are an energy-saving method, a base station, a control unit, and a storage medium. The method includes: collecting energy-consumption influencing factor data of a target cell; predicting a load trend of the target cell according to the energy-consumption influencing factor data; and determining, according to the load trend, an energy-saving strategy of the target cell and effective time corresponding to the energy-saving strategy and executing the energy-saving strategy according to the effective time.

A first wireless device receives, from a second wireless device, one or more messages indicating one or more location areas where the first wireless device continuously monitors for one or more sidelink signals. The first wireless device determines that the first wireless device is located in the one or more location areas. Based on the determining, the first wireless device starts continuous monitoring of a control channel for the one or more sidelink signals from a third wireless device. The first wireless device receives, from the third wireless device and based on the starting continuous monitor, the one or more sidelink signals.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that may allow a UE to receive and process downlink control information (DCI) that indicates dormancy behavior for one or more secondary cells when the UE does not have a CDRX mode configuration.

A voice wake-up method, an electronic device, and a wearable device. The system includes the electronic device and the wearable device. The electronic device communicates with the wearable device through a short-distance wireless connection, and the electronic device is configured to: collect a voice signal in an environment in which the electronic device is located; and when the voice signal meets a preset condition, send a query request to the wearable device, where the query request is used to request information indicating that a user is speaking. The wearable device is configured to send a query result to the electronic device, where the query result includes the information indicating that the user is speaking. The electronic device is further configured to: when it is determined, based on the information indicating that the user is speaking, that the user is speaking, enter a wake-up state.

A method for assistance information transmission includes: obtaining powersaving assistance information; and sending the powersaving assistance information through overheating assistance information.

A cell selection method, related to the communications field, includes a terminal device sending a first request to a network device, where the first request is used to request to select a serving cell for the terminal device in an energy efficiency first manner. The terminal device sends first information to the network device, where the first information is used by the network device to select a cell in a first communications system or a cell in a second communications system for the terminal device. The terminal device receives configuration information of a serving cell from the network device, where the serving cell is selected by the network device from the cell in the first communications system or the cell in the second communications system in a manner that energy efficiency of the terminal device is first.

An UE transmits at least one UE configuration parameter to a base station comprising at least one preferred parameter for a UE configuration, e.g., in addition to a preferred setting for a delay budget report. The UE then receives a configuration from the base station based, at least in part, on the at least one UE configuration parameter transmitted to the base station. Additionally, a base station receives the at least one UE configuration parameter from a UE comprising at least one preferred parameter for a UE configuration, e.g., in addition to a preferred setting for a delay budget report. The base station then configures the UE using the at least one UE configuration parameter received from the UE.

A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE), the UE receives an indication from a base station, wherein the indication is indicative of monitoring a power saving signal in one or more monitoring occasions and at least one monitoring occasion of the one or more monitoring occasions is associated with a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) ON duration and is within Active Time associated with the UE. The UE does not monitor and/or skips monitoring the power saving signal in the at least one monitoring occasion. The UE monitors Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) during the DRX ON duration.

A method for supporting Sidelink (SL) Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation is provided. A User Equipment (UE) maintains SL DRX configuration which includes one of a transmission pattern and a reception pattern that the UE expects to perform transmission and reception to a peer UE. The UE exchanges the SL DRX configuration with the peer UE. Based on the exchange of the SL DRX configuration, the UE determines when to perform transmission or reception to or from the peer UE during an SL DRX operation. Based on the determination, the UE performs transmission or reception to or from the peer UE during the SL DRX operation.
