METHOD OF DETERMINING INTERMITTENT RECEPTION STATE, TERMINAL DEVICE AND NETWORK DEVICE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC H04W52/02 

FIELD: electrical communication engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication. According to embodiments of the present invention, a method for determining a discontinuous reception state (DRX), a terminal device and a network device are provided. Method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, first indication information sent from a network device, wherein the first indication information is used to indicate to the terminal device to switch DRX state or to indicate duration, during which the terminal device is in DRX state; and switching by the terminal device in accordance with the first indication information of the DRX state, in which the terminal device is currently located, or determining in accordance with the first indication information the duration, during which the terminal device is in the DRX state, wherein the DRX state, in which the terminal device currently resides, is a first DRX state or a second DRX state, wherein the terminal device receiver is switched on in the first DRX state, and the terminal device receiver is turned off when in the second DRX state.

EFFECT: technical result is possibility of flexible adjustment of DRX state, in which terminal device is located, according to first indication information.
