相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2022年09月30日提交中国专利局、申请号为202211216477.4、申请名称为“一种通信方法、装置、存储介质及芯片系统”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种通信方法、装置、存储介质及芯片系统。
背景技术
随着通信的发展，通信使用的频谱越来越宽，配置的发送天线数目越来越多，网络设备和终端设备功耗越来越高。
针对这个问题，目前支持给终端设备配置非连续接收(dis-continuous reception，DRX)，使终端设备只在规定时间段进行物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)检测。
现有的终端设备的DRX机制无法满足网络装置的低功耗的需求。基于此，亟需一种方案用于降低网络设备的功耗。
发明内容
本申请提供一种通信方法、装置、存储介质及芯片系统，用于降低网络设备功耗。
第一方面，本申请提供一种通信方法，该通信方法可以由终端装置执行。本申请中的终端装置可以为终端设备，或者为终端设备中的芯片、单元或模块。终端装置还可以为具有终端设备功能的通信装置或为具有终端设备功能的通信装置内部的芯片、单元或模块。
该方法包括：终端装置接收来自网络装置的第一信息，第一信息指示在第一时间段内不允许第一信道传输，第一信道包括全部上行信道和/或全部下行信道。终端装置根据第一信息，在第一时间段内不进行第一信道的传输。
本申请中网络装置可以配置网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制。终端装置可以配置网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制。第一时间段可以视为网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制中的一个周期中的非激活时间或非激活时间中的一个时间段。
由于第一信息指示网络装置在第一时间段内不进行第一信道的传输，因此终端装置也可以在第一时间段不进行第一信道的传输，从而可以降低网络装置的功耗，也可以降低终端装置的功耗。
一种可能的实施方式中，第一信息还指示在第二时间段内允许上行信道传输和/或下行信道传输。终端装置在第一信息还指示在第二时间段内允许上行信道传输的情况下，在第二时间段发送上行信道。终端装置在第一信息还指示在第二时间段内允许下行信道传输的情况下，在第二时间段接收下行信道。
第二时间段可以视为网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期中的激活时间或激活时间中的一个时间段。由于第二时间段允许上行信道传输和/或下行信道传输，因此终端装置可以依据第一信息在第二时间段进行信道传输，以便满足自身业务需求。
比如网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DRX机制，第一时间段和第二时间段为网络装置的DRX机制中的一个周期内的两个时间段。一个周期内的第二时间段与第一时间段无交集。一种可能的实施方式中，第一时间段和第二时间段的并集可以为网络装置的DRX机制中的一个周期的全集。
一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置在满足预设的第一条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输。
如此，可以提高方案的灵活性，以满足终端装置的一些临时需求，而且相比允许终端装置在第三时间段传输所有类型的信道的方案，该方案可以限制终端装置能够传输的信道的类型，从而减少终端装置需要发送的信道的数量，从而降低终端装置的能耗。
一种可能的实施方式中，第一时间段和第二时间段为一个周期内的两个时间段，第二时间段位于第一时间段之前。第一条件包括以下内容中的一项或多项：在第二时间段内接收到调度下行数据或上行数据传输的指示信息；在第二时间段内接收到激活非周期信号的指示信息；在第二时间段内接收到指示启 动第一定时器的信息，第一定时器指示的时间段与第一时间段的交集为第三时间段；或，在第二时间段内发送预设类型的上行信道。
上述这些条件被满足，则说明终端装置在接下来的时间里可能有传输信道的需求，因此本申请中延长允许进行信道传输的时间，比如第一时间段的一部分时间(比如第一时间段内的第三时间段)也作为能够进行信道传输的时间，终端装置在延长后的时间内进行信道传输，比如在第三时间段内进行第二类型的信道的传输，如此可以满足终端装置的需求。
比如终端装置可以在满足上述第一条件后可以不启动第一定时器，也可以启动第一定时器。比如终端装置可以在第一条件被满足的情况下，启动第一定时器，第一定时器的启动时间位于第二时间段截止前。第一定时器指示的时间与第一时间段存在交集，该交集为第三时间段。第一定时器的时长可以是网络装置通过信令配置的或者为预设的。
本申请中网络装置和/或终端装置配置网络装置的DRX机制的情况下，第二类型包括的信道类型为上行信道类型，可以看出，网络装置的DRX机制下可以控制终端装置和网络装置之间传输的上行信道的类型，从而可以降低第一时间段内终端装置和/或网络装置传输的信道的数量，从而可以降低终端装置和/或网络装置的功耗。
第二类型包括的信道类型包括有上行信道类型的情况下，第二类型可以包括：第一PDCCH对应的上行信道；或配置授权CG PUSCH中的一项或多项。
又一种可能的实施方式中，网络装置和/或终端装置可能配置网络装置的DTX机制。第二类型包括的信道类型为下行信道类型，可以看出，网络装置的DRX机制下可以控制终端装置和网络装置之间传输的下行信道的类型，从而可以降低第一时间段内终端装置和/或网络装置传输的信道的数量，从而可以降低终端装置和/或网络装置的功耗。
第二类型包括的信道类型包括有下行信道类型的情况下，第二类型可以包括：PDCCH；第二PDCCH对应的下行信道；周期CSI-RS；半持续CSI-RS；或SPS PDSCH中的一项或多项。其中，PDCCH为在第二时间段内和/或在第三时间段内接收/检测到的PDCCH，PDCCH包括第一PDCCH和/或第二PDCCH。
一种可能的实施方式中，第一PDCCH对应的上行信道包括：信道探测参考信号SRS，物理上行共享信道PUSCH，配置授权CG-PUSCH，承载非周期CSI的PUCCH，承载非周期CSI的PUSCH中的一项或多项。第二PDCCH对应的下行信道包括：物理下行共享信道，SPS PDSCH，非周期CSI-RS中的一项或多项。
又一种可能的实施方式中，第一PDCCH包括由C-RNTI加扰的PDCCH、由CS-RNTI加扰的PDCCH、由MCS-C-RNT加扰的PDCCH、由SP-CSI-RNTI加扰的PDCCH中的一项或多项。第二PDCCH包括由C-RNTI加扰的PDCCH、由CS-RNTI加扰的PDCCH、由MCS-C-RNT加扰的PDCCH中的一项或多项。
又一种可能的实施方式中，网络装置和/或终端装置可能配置网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制。第二类型包括的信道类型包括下行信道类型和上行信道类型，可以看出，网络装置的DRX机制下可以控制终端装置和网络装置之间传输的下行信道类型和上行信道类型的类型，从而可以降低第一时间段内终端装置和/或网络装置传输的信道的数量，从而可以降低终端装置和/或网络装置的功耗。
又一种可能的实施方式中，半持续信号包括：半持续CSI-RS、半持续SRS。周期信号包括：SSB、SIB、PRACH、周期CSI-RS，周期SRS，CG PUSCH，或SPS PDSCH中的一项或多项。
又一种可能的实施方式中，第一信息用于指示第一周期、第一开启时间、第一关闭时间、开启持续时长、或者关闭持续时长中的至少一项。中，第一开启时间为在第一周期内第二时间段的开始时刻，第一关闭时间为在第一周期内第一时间段的开始时刻，开启持续时长为第二时间段的持续时间，关闭持续时长为第一时间段的持续时间。如此，可以与现有技术更加兼容。
第二方面，本申请提供一种通信方法，该通信方法可以由终端装置执行。本申请中的终端装置可以为终端设备，或者为终端设备中的芯片、单元或模块。终端装置还可以为具有终端设备功能的通信装置或为具有终端设备功能的通信装置内部的芯片、单元或模块，比如，终端装置为可以被视为终端络设备的网络设备，或者为可以被视为终端络设备的网络设备内部的芯片、单元或模块。
该方法包括：终端装置接收来自网络装置的第一信息，第一信息指示在第一时间段内允许进行第一 类型的信道的传输。终端装置根据第一信息，在第一时间段内进行第一类型的信道的传输。
由于第一时间段内允许进行第一类型的信道的传输，一方面，可以满足终端装置和网络装置的一些需求，另一方面由于限制了第一时间段允许传输的信道的类型，终端装置和/或网络装置不必在第一时间段传输大量的信道，即降低了第一时间段内终端装置和/或网络装置传输的信道的数量，从而可以降低终端装置和/或网络装置的功耗。
在一种可能的实施方式中，接收来自网络装置的第一信息之后，终端装置根据第一信息，在第一时间段内不传输非第一类型的信道。
由于第一时间段内不允许传输非第一类型的信道，因此可以降低第一时间段内终端装置和/或网络装置传输的信道的数量，从而可以降低终端装置和/或网络装置的功耗。
本申请中网络装置和/或终端装置配置网络装置的DRX机制的情况下，第一类型包括的信道类型为上行信道类型，可以看出，网络装置的DRX机制下可以控制终端装置和网络装置之间传输的上行信道的类型，从而可以降低第一时间段内终端装置和/或网络装置传输的信道的数量，从而可以降低终端装置和/或网络装置的功耗。
第一类型包括的信道类型包括有上行信道类型的情况下，第一类型包括：CG PUSCH；SPS PDSCH的HARQ-ACK；SR；或PRACH；随机接入消息3中的一项或多项。

第一类型包括的信道类型包括有下行信道类型的情况下，第一类型包括：网络节能小区无线网络临时标识的PDCCH；节能无线网络临时标识PS-RNTI加扰的PDCCH；同步信号/物理广播信道块SSB；系统信息；寻呼消息；随机接入消息2；随机接入消息4；随机接入消息B；波束失败恢复BFR；或半静态调度物理层下行共享信道SPS PDSCH中的一项或多项。
又一种可能的实施方式中，网络装置和/或终端装置可能配置网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制。第一类型包括的信道类型包括下行信道类型和上行信道类型，可以看出，网络装置的DRX机制下可以控制终端装置和网络装置之间传输的下行信道类型和上行信道类型的类型，从而可以降低第一时间段内终端装置和/或网络装置传输的信道的数量，从而可以降低终端装置和/或网络装置的功耗。
一种可能的实施方式中，第一信息还指示在第二时间段内允许上行信道传输和/或下行信道传输。终端装置在第一信息还指示在第二时间段内允许上行信道传输的情况下，在第二时间段发送上行信道。终端装置在第一信息还指示在第二时间段内允许下行信道传输的情况下，在第二时间段接收下行信道。
第二时间段可以视为网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期中的激活时间或激活时间中的一个时间段。由于第二时间段允许上行信道传输和/或下行信道传输，因此终端装置可以依据第一信息在第二时间段进行信道传输，以便满足自身业务需求。

一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置在满足预设的第一条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输。
如此，可以提高方案的灵活性，以满足终端装置的一些临时需求，而且相比允许终端装置在第三时间段传输所有类型的信道的方案，该方案可以限制终端装置能够传输的信道的类型，从而减少终端装置需要发送的信道的数量，从而降低终端装置的能耗。
一种可能的实施方式中，第一时间段和第二时间段为一个周期内的两个时间段，第二时间段位于第一时间段之前。第一条件包括以下内容中的一项或多项：在第二时间段内接收到调度下行数据或上行数据传输的指示信息；在第二时间段内接收到激活非周期信号的指示信息；在第二时间段内接收到指示启动第一定时器的信息，第一定时器指示的时间段与第一时间段的交集为第三时间段；或，在第二时间段内发送预设类型的上行信道。

第二类型的信道可以为上行信道，也可以为下行信道，也可以包括上行信道和下行信道。关于第二类型的相关内容，可以参见前述第一方面和第一方面中的任一种可能的实施方式中的相关描述，在此不再赘述。
又一种可能的实施方式中，第一信息用于指示第一周期、第一开启时间、第一关闭时间、开启持续时长、或者关闭持续时长中的至少一项。中，第一开启时间为在第一周期内第二时间段的开始时刻，第一关闭时间为在第一周期内第一时间段的开始时刻，开启持续时长为第二时间段的持续时间，关闭持续时长为第一时间段的持续时间。如此，可以与现有技术更加兼容。

第一时间段可以为网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间。第四时间段的时间为终端装置的DRX的激活时间。在第四时间段与第一时间段存在交集的情况下，可以理解为终端装置的DRX机制的激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间重叠，通过上述方案可以解决终端装置的DRX机制的激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间重叠带来的冲突问题。

第二时间段可以视为网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期中的激活时间或激活时间中的一个时间段。由于第二时间段允许上行信道传输和/或下行信道传输，因此终端装置可以依据第一信息在第二时间段进行信道传输，以便满足自身业务需求。

如此，可以提高方案的灵活性，以满足终端装置的一些临时需求，而且相比允许终端装置在第三时间段传输所有类型的信道的方案，该方案可以限制终端装置能够传输的信道的类型，从而减少终端装置需要发送的信道的数量，从而降低终端装置的能耗。

该方法中，网络装置向终端装置发送第一信息，第一信息指示网络装置在第一时间段内允许进行第一类型的信道的传输。网络装置在第一时间段内进行第一类型的信道的传输。
由于第一时间段内允许进行第一类型的信道的传输，一方面，可以满足终端装置和网络装置的一些需求，另一方面由于限制了第一时间段允许传输的信道的类型，终端装置和/或网络装置不必在第一时间段传输大量的信道，即降低了第一时间段内终端装置和/或网络装置传输的信道的数量，从而可以降低终端装置和/或网络装置的功耗。
一种可能的实施方式中，网络装置在第一时间段内不传输非第一类型的信道。由于第一时间段内不允许传输非第一类型的信道，因此可以降低第一时间段内终端装置和/或网络装置传输的信道的数量，从而可以降低终端装置和/或网络装置的功耗。

接入网设备可以包括集中单元(central unit，CU)和分布单元(distribute unit，DU)。该设计可以称为CU和DU分离。多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。作为示例，CU和DU之间的接口称为F1接口。其中，控制面(control panel，CP)接口可以为F1-C，用户面(user panel，UP)接口可以为F1-U。本申请实施例不限制各接口的具体名称。CU和DU可以根据无线网络的协议层划分：比如，PDCP层及以上协议层(例如RRC层和SDAP层等)的功能设置在CU，PDCP层以下协议层(例如RLC层、MAC层和PHY层等)的功能设置在DU；又比如，PDCP层以上协议层的功能设置在CU，PDCP层及以下协议层的功能设置在DU，不予限制。
上述对CU和DU的处理功能按照协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例，也可以按照其他的方式进行划分。例如，可以将CU或者DU划分为具有更多协议层的功能，又例如将CU或DU划分为具有协议层的部分处理功能。例如，将RLC层的部分功能和RLC层以上的协议层的功能设置在CU，将RLC层的剩余功能和RLC层以下的协议层的功能设置在DU。再例如，可以按照业务类型或者其他系统需求对CU或者DU的功能进行划分，例如按时延划分，将处理时间需要满足时延要求的功能设置在DU，不需要满足该时延要求的功能设置在CU。

为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。方法实施例中的具体操作方法也可以应用于装置实施例或系统实施例中。
以下，对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明，以便于本领域技术人员理解。
(1)终端装置的DRX机制。
终端装置通过监听PDCCH，查看是否有来自服务小区的DCI，从而与网络装置进行信号传输。很多情况下，终端装置并不是一直和网络进行有效的信息交互，此时如果终端装置持续地监听PDCCH，造成电量消耗较大。为了节省终端装置的功耗，同时保证数据的有效传输，NR引入了DRX机制，DRX机制也可以理解为终端装置DRX机制，通过DRX机制，终端装置可以周期性的在某些时间段内监听PDCCH，而在其他时间段内不监听PDCCH，实现终端装置的节能。
图2所示终端装置的DRX机制的一种示例，DRX机制涉及如下参数：DRX长周期起始偏移drx-LongCycleStartOffset、DRX时隙偏移drx-SlotOffset和DRX激活时长drx-onDurationTimer。
其中，drx-LongCycleStartOffset用于配置长周期DRX(Long DRX cycle)的时间窗，包括每个时间窗的长度P(又称为DRX period)、起始子帧偏移Ssf，二者可以以子帧(subframe)为单位。drx-SlotOffset用于配置在起始子帧内持续时间内(on Duration)的起始时隙偏移值S时隙，可以以时隙(Slot)为单位计数。drx-onDurationTimer用于配置从起始时刻开始onDuration的持续时间T1，单位可以为毫秒(ms)。终端装置在每个时间窗起始子帧的起始时隙开始时刻进入激活时间(active time)。一直到on Duration结束，终端装置转入非激活时间(inactive time)。其中，激活时间也可以称为激活期、激活时间等，终端装置在激活时间内处于激活态。非激活时间也可以称为非激活时间、非激活期等，终端装置在非激活时间内处于非激活态。
当终端装置配置了DRX机制时，终端装置在每个DRX周期到来时，首先进入激活时间/On Duration，开启DRX持续时间定时器(drx-onDurationTimer)。DRX持续时间定时器超时之后，终端装置将进入非激活时间；如果在On Duration期间检测到了调度数据传输的PDCCH，终端装置启动或重启DRX静止定时器(drx-InactivityTimer)，在DRX静止定时器运行时，终端装置位于激活时间内。
图3示例性示出了本申请实施例的一种终端装置的DRX机制的示意图，如图3所示，DRX机制具有长周期(Long DRX cycle)与短周期(Short DRX cycle)两种周期配置。终端装置在drx-InactivityTimer结束或者收到DRX命令(DRX Command)媒体访问控制信道单元(media access control channel element，MAC CE)后，在drx-InactivityTimer结束后或DRX Command MAC CE接收后的第一个符号启动drx-ShortCycleTimer，在该计时器运行期间，UE进入Short DRX cycle状态，即on Duration根据Short DRX cycle确定；当drx-ShortCycleTimer结束，UE进入Long DRX cycle状态，即onDuration根据Long DRX cycle确定。
终端装置在每次drx-InactivityTimer结束后可以重新进入Short DRX Cycle来；当连续一段时间都没有数据到达，可以转为Long DRX cycle。另外，基站可以通过DRX Command MAC CE，强制进入Short DRX cycle，也可以通过Long DRX Command MAC CE，强制进入Long DRX cycle。
(2)非持续传输(dis-continuous transmission，DTX)机制。
为了进一步降低网络装置的功率消耗，可以使能网络装置在一段时间内不发送数据传输，或者，可以使能网络装置在一段时间内不发送全部信道或者部分信道。这种降低网络装置功率消耗的方式可以称为网络装置的DTX机制，也可以称为网络装置的DTX机制。
由于网络装置可以和小区内的多个终端装置通信，本申请中的网络装置的DTX机制，可以指代小 区级的网络装置的DTX机制。为方便描述，本申请中网络装置的DTX、小区级的DTX可以被称为DTX。
由于通信系统的交互性，DTX对于通信的两个或者多个通信设备有不同的解读。对于网络装置，DTX可以理解为非持续发送机制，对于与配置了DTX的发送设备对应的接收设备(如终端装置)，此时的接收设备在DTX可以理解为非持续接收机制。因而对于接收设备(终端装置)而言，本申请中网络装置的DTX、小区级的DTX，也可能会被理解为终端装置的小区级DRX、终端装置的终端装置组(UE group)级DRX。
通过网络装置的DTX机制，可以实现网络装置的节能。
例如，网络装置可以设置一个传输图样，在一个传输周期内只在部分时间段上进行数据传输，在其他时间段都不进行数据收发。
当没有业务负载的时候，可以采用网络装置的DTX机制，从而降低网络装置的功耗。
当业务负载很轻的时候，很多传输时间间隔上虽然有数据传输，但传输时间间隔的资源利用率很低，此时也可以采用网络装置的DTX机制，通过将待发送的数据汇集到时间段A发送，从而可以在时间段B进入DTX状态，实现网络装置的静态节能。
本申请实施例中涉及到的网络装置的DTX机制是指网络装置的DTX机制。本申请实施例中网络装置可以配置网络装置的DTX机制，终端装置也可以配置网络装置的DTX机制。
本申请实施例中还涉及到的网络装置的DRX机制。本申请实施例中网络装置可以配置网络装置的DRX机制，终端装置也可以配置网络装置的DRX机制。网络装置的DRX机制也可以指代小区级的DRX机制。同样的，对于终端装置而言，本申请中的网络装置的DRX机制、小区级DRX机制，也可以被终端装置理解为终端装置的小区级网络装置的DTX机制、终端装置的终端装置组(UE group)级网络装置的DTX机制。为了方便描述，本申请中均使用网络装置的DRX或DRX来进行描述。
网络装置可以配置网络装置的DTX机制，也可以配置网络装置的DRX机制，还可以配置网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制。网络装置还可以配置终端装置的DRX机制、网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制中的一个或多个。终端装置可以配置网络装置的DTX机制，也可以配置网络装置的DRX机制，还可以配置网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制。终端装置还可以配置终端装置的DRX机制、网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制中的一个或多个。
(3)时间单元。
时间单元为用于信号传输的时域单元，可包括无线帧(radio frame)、子帧(subframe)、时隙(slot)、微时隙(mini-slot)或至少一个正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing，OFDM)符号等时域单位。OFDM符号也可以简称为时域符号。一种可能的时间单元关系的示例中，一个无线帧的时域长度为10ms。一个无线帧可以包括10个无线子帧，一个无线子帧的时域长度为1ms。一个无线子帧可以包括一个或多个时隙，具体一个子帧包括多少个时隙与子载波间隔(Subcarrier Space，SCS)相关。对于SCS为15kHz的情况，一个时隙的时域长度为1ms。一个时隙包括14个符号。
(4)无线网络临时标识(radio network temporary identifier，RNTI)。
其中，RNTI用于区分或识别小区中连接的终端装置、特定无线信道、寻呼情况下的一组终端装置、接收功率控制参数的一组终端装置、由网络装置为所有终端装置发送的系统信息。RNTI可以是一个16位标识符，其值取决于RNTI的类型。用于寻呼(paging)的RNTI记为P-RNTI。除此之外还有用于数据调度的小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier，C-RNTI)、调制和编码方案小区无线网络临时标识(modulation and coding scheme cell radio network temporary identifier，MCS-C-RNTI)、配置调度无线网络临时标识(configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier，CS-RNTI)等。
终端装置的DRX机制中包括激活期和非激活期。在激活期内终端装置可以正常收发信息，也可以进行PDCCH的检测。在非激活期，终端设备不会进行PDCCH的检测和PDCCH调度/激活的信号的接收和发送，但是仍需收发非PDCCH调度/激活的信号，非PDCCH调度/激活的信号比如包括对于半静态调度的物理下行共享信道(Semi Persistent Scheduled PDSCH，SPS PDSCH)，配置授权的物理上行共享信道(configured grant PUSCH，CG PUSCH)，以及一些公共信号。公共信号比如包括同步信号(synchronization signal，SSB)和物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)块、系统信息块 (system information block，SIB)(包括SIB1，SIB2等其他系统信息块)，以及物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel，PRACH)等。终端设备在非激活期也可能接收一些周期信号和半持续信号，比如终端设备可以接收周期信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)和半持续CSI-RS。终端设备在非激活期也可能发送调度请求(Scheduling request，SR)。
在终端装置的DRX机制中，终端装置在非激活期还存在大量的信号收发行为，这些行为导致网络装置(比如基站)在终端装置的非激活期内仍需根据终端装置的需求收发信号，网络装置功耗较大。
基于此，本申请实施例提供一种可能的实施方式，该实施方式也可以理解为网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制，即网络装置根据网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制进行收发信号，终端装置在收发信号时也需考虑网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制。该机制可以降低网络装置和终端装置的功耗。下面通过实施方式A1、实施方式A2、实施方式B1和实施方式B2列举几种可能的示例。
实施方式A1，网络装置的DRX机制包括激活期和非激活期，网络装置可以在网络装置的DRX机制的激活期内正常接收信息，在网络装置的DRX机制的非激活期内完全不接收信息，如此，终端装置可以在网络装置的DRX机制的激活期内正常发送信息，终端装置也可以在网络装置的DRX机制的非激活期内完全不发送信息，从而可以降低网络装置和终端装置的功耗。
实施方式A2，网络装置的DTX机制包括激活期和非激活期，网络装置可以在网络装置的DTX机制的激活期内正常发送信息，在网络装置的DTX机制的非激活期内完全不发送信息。如此，终端装置可以在网络装置的DTX机制的激活期内正常发送信息，终端装置也可以在网络装置的DTX机制的非激活期内完全不接收信息，从而可以降低网络装置和终端装置的功耗。
实施方式B1，网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DRX机制的情况下，在网络装置的DRX机制的非激活期内允许网络装置接收一些指定类型的信息，不允许网络装置接收不属于该指定类型的信息。如此，终端装置也可以在终端装置可以在网络装置的DRX机制的激活期内正常发送信息，在该网络装置的DRX机制对应的非激活期内发送属于该指定类型的信息，从而降低终端装置和网络装置的功耗。
实施方式B2，网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DTX机制的情况下，在网络装置的DTX机制的非激活期内允许网络装置发送一些指定类型的信息，不允许网络装置发送不属于该指定类型的信息。如此，终端装置可以在网络装置的DTX机制的激活期内正常发送信息，终端装置也可以在该网络装置的DTX机制的非激活期内接收属于该指定类型的信息，从而降低终端装置和网络装置的功耗。
上述实施方式A1可以和实施方式A2或实施方式B2同时实施，上述实施方式A2也可以和实施方式A1或实施方式B1同时实施。上述实施方式A1、实施方式A2、实施方式B1和实施方式B2中的各个实施方式也可以单独实施。以下将结合附图对这些实施方式进行更详细的介绍。
本申请实施例中网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制的情况下，终端装置可能未配置终端装置的DRX机制，也可能配置有终端装置的DRX机制。在实际应用中，网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制可能会与终端装置的DRX机制发生冲突，终端装置可以结合网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制以及终端装置的DRX进行数据传输，也可以理解为终端装置结合网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制调整终端装置的DRX机制，该调整后的终端装置的DRX机制也可以称为增强型终端装置的DRX机制。类似的，网络装置也可以结合网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制以及终端装置的DRX进行数据传输。本申请实施例后续结合附图进行详细介绍，在此先不做阐述。
本申请实施例涉及到的网络装置的DRX机制也可以与第一DRX机制相互替换，本申请实施例涉及到的网络装置的DTX机制也可以与第一DTX机制相互替换。本申请实施例涉及到的终端装置的DRX机制也可以与第二DRX机制相互替换。
基于上述图1、图2和图3所示实施例以及上述其他内容，图4示例性示出了本申请实施例提供一种通信方法的可能的流程示意图。图4中的方案以网络装置和终端装置交互执行为例进行介绍。网络装置和终端装置的相关描述参见前述内容，不再赘述。
如图4所示，该方法包括：

又一种可能的实施方式中，第一信息还指示第二时间段内允许上行信道传输和/或下行信道传输。本申请实施例中第一信息也可以称为配置信息，比如为网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制的配置信息。第二时间段可以视为网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制中的一个周期内的一段时间，比如可以视为网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制中的一个周期中的激活时间或激活时间中的一个时间段。
比如网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DRX机制，第一时间段和第二时间段为网络装置的DRX机制中的一个周期内的两个时间段。一个周期内的第二时间段与第一时间段无交集。一种可能的实施方式中，第一时间段和第二时间段的并集可以为网络装置的DRX机制中的一个周期的全集。再比如，网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DTX机制，第一时间段和第二时间段为网络装置的DTX机制中的一个周期内的两个时间段。一个周期内的第二时间段与第一时间段无交集。一种可能的实施方式中，第一时间段和第二时间段的并集可以为网络装置的DTX机制中的一个周期的全集。
图5示例性示出了一种可能的第一时间段和第二时间段的关系的示意，如图5所示，图5中示出的一个周期可以为网络装置的DRX机制的一个周期，这种情况下，第二时间段可以表示网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间，第一时间段可以表示网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间。图5中示出的一个周期也可以为网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期，这种情况下，第二时间段可以表示网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间，第一时间段可以表示网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间。

比如，第一信息包括网络装置的DRX机制的配置信息，第一信息可以指示一个周期内的时域图样，该时域图样指示网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间，一个周期内除了网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间之外的时间都属于非激活时间。
再比如，第一信息包括网络装置的DTX机制的配置信息，第一信息可以指示一个周期内的时域图样，该时域图样指示网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间，一个周期内除了网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间之外的时间都属于非激活时间。

实施方式C2，网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DTX机制，网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间内不允许网络装置发送任何下行信道。也可以理解为，网络装置通知了终端装置其(网络装置的)网络装置的DTX机制，或者说终端装置配置了网络装置的DTX机制，网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间内不允许终端装置接收任何下行信道。
在网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DTX机制，第一时间段可以视为网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间，网络装置在该网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间可以不发送所有下行信道。终端装置在该网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间可以不接收所有下行信道。比如，网络装置可以在第一时间段内关断用于发送下行信道的通道。再比如，网络装置可以在第一时间段内关闭用于发送下行信道的射频处理器件。再比如，网络装置可以在第一时间段内关闭用于发送下行信道的中频处理器件。再比如，网络装置可以在第一时间段内关闭用于发送下行信道的基带处理器件，如此，可以降低网络装置的功耗。比如，终端装置可以在第一时间段内关断用于接收下行信道的通道。再比如，终端装置可以在第一时间段内关闭用于接收下行信道的射频处理器件。再比如，终端装置可以在第一时间段内关闭用于接收下行信道的中频处理器件。再比如，终端装置可以在第一时间段内关闭用于接收下行信道的基带处理器件，如此，可以降低终端装置的功耗。
又一种可能的实施方式中，第一信息还指示在第二时间段内允许下行信道传输。也可以理解为第二时间段内允许网络装置发送所有类型的下行信道。也可以理解为第二时间段内允许终端装置接收所有类型的下行信道。

本申请实施例中，网络装置可能配置有网络装置的DRX机制和网络装置的DTX机制，若网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间存在交集，由于网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间交集内网络装置可以不发送全部下行信道，也可以不接收所有上行信道。如此，可以降低网络装置的功耗。网络装置在交集中的相关操作可以参见前述实施方式C1和实施方式C2中的描述，不再赘述。
又一种可能的实施方式中，第一信息包括由网络装置的DRX机制和网络装置的DTX机制，若网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间存在交集，则在网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间交集内终端装置可以接收全部下行信道，且发送全部上行信道。

在网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DRX机制，网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间(比如第一时间段)不允许网络装置接收任何上行信道的情况下，由于网络装置在该网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间内不接收所有上行信道，因此终端装置可以根据第一信息，在该网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间(比如第一时间段)不发送所有上行信道，如此，可以降低终端装置的功耗。
又一种可能的实施方式中，由于网络装置在该网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间(比如第二时间段)可以接收所有类型的上行信道，因此终端装置可以根据第一信息确定在该网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间(比如第二时间段)能够发送所有类型的上行信道，继而在该网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间(比如第二时间段)正常发送上行信道。其他相关介绍可以参见前述步骤402中的相关描述，不再赘述。
在网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DTX机制，网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间(比如第一时间段)不允许网络装置发送任何下行信道的情况下，由于网络装置在该网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间内不发送所有下行信道，因此终端装置可以根据第一信息，在该网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间(比如第一时间段)不接收所有下行信道，如此，可以降低终端装置的功耗。
又一种可能的实施方式中，由于网络装置在该网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间(比如第二时间段)可以发送所有类型的下行信道，因此终端装置可以根据第一信息确定在网络装置的该网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间(比如第二时间段)能够接收所有类型的下行信道，继而可以在该网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间(比如第二时间段)正常接收下行信道。其他相关介绍可以参见前述步骤402中的相关描述，不再赘述。
又一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置可能配置有网络装置的DRX机制和网络装置的DTX机制，若网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间存在交集，网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间交集内终端装置可以不发送全部下行信道，也可以不接收所有上行信道。如此，可以降低网络装置的功耗。
又一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置可能配置有网络装置的DRX机制和网络装置的DTX机制，若网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间存在交集，网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间交集内终端装置可以发送全部下行信道，也可以接收所有上行信道。
一种可能的实施方式中，当网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制，网络装置的DTX机制的周期中的激活时间和网络装置的DRX机制的周期中的激活时间可以重 叠，且网络装置的DTX机制的周期中的非激活时间和网络装置的DRX机制的周期中的非激活时间可以重叠。也可以理解为网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制的周期相同。且一个周期内的激活时间为网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间，且也为网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间。一个周期内的非激活时间为网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间，且也为网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间。
通过上述内容可以看出，由于第一信息指示网络装置在第一时间段内不进行第一信道的传输，因此终端装置也可以在第一时间段不进行第一信道的传输，从而可以降低网络装置的功耗，也可以降低终端装置的功耗。
本申请实施例中第一信息指示第一时间段不允许第一信道传输，在实际应用中，在上述步骤403中，一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置在满足预设的第一条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输。如此，终端装置可以在满足预设的第一条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输。如此，可以提高方案的灵活性，以满足终端装置的一些临时需求，而且相比允许终端装置在第三时间段传输所有类型的信道的方案，该方案可以限制终端装置能够传输的信道的类型，从而减少终端装置需要发送的信道的数量，从而降低终端装置的能耗。
一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置在满足预设的第一条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输。针对非第二类型的信道，终端装置可以在第一时间段内的第三时间段传输也可以不传输。比如终端装置可以在第三时间段传输一些与第三时间段所传输的第二类型的信道具有关联关系的信道。举个例子，第二类型的信道包括PDSCH，终端装置在第三时间段接收到PDSCH之后，终端装置还可以向网络装置发送该PDSCH的反馈信息。该PDSCH的反馈信息不属于第二类型的信道，该PDSCH的反馈信息与终端装置在第三时间段发送的PDSCH具有关联关系，该PDSCH的反馈信息也允许在第三时间段进行传输。再举个例子，第二类型的信道包括PUSCH，终端装置在传输PUSCH之前，还可以接收PDCCH，该PDCCH可以用于调度该PUSCH。该PDCCH可以不属于第二类型的信道，该PDCCH可以属于与终端装置在第三时间段发送的PUSCH具有关联关系，该PDCCH也允许在第三时间段进行传输。如此，可以满足终端装置和网络装置的信息传输需求。
又一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置在满足预设的第一条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输。针对非第二类型的信道，终端装置在第一时间段内的第三时间段可以不传输，即在该实施方式中可以终端装置不再传输非第二类型的信道。如此，可以降低网络装置和终端装置的功耗。
一种可能的实施方式中，第一时间段和第二时间段为一个周期内的两个时间段，第二时间段位于第一时间段之前。第一条件包括以下条件D1、条件D2、条件D3、条件D4和条件D5中的一项或多项。
条件D1，终端装置在第二时间段内接收到调度下行数据或上行数据传输的指示信息。
需要说明的是，终端装置在第二时间段内接收到调度下行数据或上行数据的指示信息，包括：终端装置在第二时间段内接收到调度PDSCH或PUSCH传输的PDCCH。终端装置在第二时间段内接收到调度下行数据或上行数据传输的指示信息，也可以包括：终端装置在第二时间段内接收到激活SPS PDSCH或者CG PUSCH的PDCCH。
条件D2，终端装置在第二时间段内接收到激活非周期信号的指示信息。
一种可能的情况，终端装置在第二时间段内接收到激活非周期CSI-RS传输的指示信息。
一种可能的情况，终端装置在第二时间段内接收到激活非周期SRS传输的指示信息。
一种可能的情况，终端装置在第二时间段内接收到激活非周期CSI上报的指示信息。
条件D3，终端装置在第二时间段内接收到指示启动第一定时器的信息，第一定时器指示的时间段与第一时间段的交集为第三时间段。
终端装置接收到指示启动第一定时器的信息，可以根据该信息启动第一定时器，第一定时器指示的时间可以理解为网络装置的DTX机制和/或网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间的延长时间。第一定时器指示的时间的长度可以是预设的，也可以是网络装置指示的。
条件D4，终端装置在第二时间段内发送预设类型的上行信道。
预设类型的上行信道比如可以包括：上行调度请求、PRACH、用于通知基站下一个CG PUSCH发送时机终端装置要发送上行数据上行信号、上行唤醒信号等。
其中，终端装置在随机接入的过程中，网络装置需要为终端装置配置PRACH用于接入系统。由于 终端装置的移动使得终端装置和网络装置之间的距离是不确定的，所以如果终端装置需要发送消息到基站，则必须实时进行上行同步的维持管理。PRACH的目的就是为达到上行同步,建立终端装置和网络装置上行同步的关系以及请求网络装置分配给终端装置专用资源，使终端装置正常接入网络装置进行业务传输。终端装置在进行随机接入过程中，会首先发送消息1(Msg1)，即PRACH，在发送完PRACH之后，终端装置会进行消息2(Msg2)的接收，消息3(Msg3)的发送。如果终端装置进行的是基于竞争的随机接入，终端装置还会接收消息4(Msg4)。因而，当终端装置发送了PRACH之后，网络装置可以获知终端装置正在进行随机接入的流程，后续存在Msg2、Msg3和Msg4的传输需求。
终端装置在存在上行数据传输的情况下，终端装置可以通过发送上行调度请求(Schedule Request，SR)，请求网络装置调度上行传输，如请求网络装置调度PUSCH。当终端装置发送SR后，网络装置可以获知终端装置之后有上行传输需求。
基站配置CG PUSCH资源，在CG PUSCH资源上，终端装置可以不接收调度信息(如：PDCCH)而直接发送上行数据。CG PUSCH资源包括周期配置的CG PUSCH发送时机，因而即使终端装置没有上行数据要发送，网络装置仍需在每个CG PUSCH发送时机进行接收，以及进行之后的解码、译码等操作，浪费能量。因而，终端装置可以在每个CG PUSCH发送时机前，发送指示信息指示下一个CG PUSCH发送时机，终端装置是否发送了上行数据。当终端装置发送了下一个CG PUSCH发送时机要发送上行数据的指示信息后，网络装置可以获知下一个CG PUSCH发送时机有数据要发送。
终端装置可以通过发送上行唤醒信号，唤醒正在休眠的网络装置、或者唤醒正处于非激活状态的网络装置。当终端装置发送上行唤醒信号后，网络装置可以获知终端装置的存在、或者终端装置存在某些信号传输需求。
在该实施方式中，终端装置可以在存在信号传输需求的情况下发送预设信号，继而网络装置和/或终端装置可以在发送预设信号之后的第三时间段脱离非激活的状态，以便进行信道的传输。
条件D5，终端装置在第二时间段内接收到指示延长第二时间段的指示信息，指示信息指示在第二时间段后延长第三时间段。
在该实施方式中，网络装置可以根据实际需求，在存在信号传输需求的情况下发送指示延长第二时间段的指示信息，继而网络装置和/或终端装置可以在发送预设信号之后的第三时间段脱离非激活的状态，以便进行信道的传输。
终端装置在确定满足上述第一条件的一项或多项之后，终端装置可以以第一条件被满足的时间点为第六时间段的起始点(第六时间段的起始点可以为位于第二时间段内的一个时间)。或者，终端装置可以将第一条件被满足的时间点之后的一个时间点(比如该时间点与条件被满足的时间点之间的时长可以为一个指定的时长)为第六时间段的起始点。第六时间段的时长可以是预设值，第六时间段的截止点可以是位于第一时间段内的一个时间。
当网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DRX机制，第六时间段可以理解为网络装置的DRX机制的一个周期内的激活时间的延长时间，比如可以理解为网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间被延长，且网络装置的DRX机制的延长后的激活时间的截止时间为第六时间段的截止时间。本申请实施例中的第三时间段为第六时间段与第一时间段的交集。在第一时间段内的除第三时间段之外的时间内，终端装置还是可以不发送任何类型的上行信道。
当网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DTX机制，第六时间段可以理解为网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期内的激活时间的延长时间，比如可以理解为网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间被延长，且网络装置的DTX机制的延长后的激活时间的截止时间为第六时间段的截止时间。本申请实施例中的第三时间段为第六时间段与第一时间段的交集。在第一时间段内的除第三时间段之外的时间内，终端装置还是可以不接收任何类型的下行信道。
图6示例性示出了一种可能的第一时间段、第二时间段和第三时间段的关系的示意图，如图6所示，图6中示出的一个周期可以为网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期，这种情况下，第二时间段可以表示网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间，第一时间段可以表示网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间，从图6中可以看出，第六时间段的起始点可以位于第二时间段，第六时间段的截止时间可以位于第一时间段。类似的，图6中所示的周期也可以为网络装置的DRX的一个周期，相关内容与之类似，不再赘述。
又一种可能的实施方式中，本申请实施例中一个周期(网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX 机制中的一个周期)内可以包括多个第六时间段，比如在一个第六时间段起始时间之后，截止时间之前，终端装置在确定满足第一条件的情况下，可以将满足第一条件的时间点，或者满足第一条件之后的一个时间点确定为另一个第六时间段的起始点，另一个第六时间段的起始点位于前一个第六时间段内，且位于第一时间段内。一种可能的实施方式中，本申请实施例中多个第六时间段的总时长不大于一个周期的时长，或者一个周期内第六时间段的数量不大于预设数量。
图7示例性示出了又一种可能的第一时间段、第二时间段和第三时间段的关系的示意图，如图7所示，图7中示出的一个周期可以为网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期，这种情况下，第二时间段可以表示网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间，第一时间段可以表示网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间，图7中在满足第一条件的情况下终端装置可以延长网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间，即网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期中存在一个第六时间段(即第六时间段1)。在第六时间段1的截止时间之前，若确定第一条件再次被满足，可以再次延长网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间，即第一时间段内存在又一个第六时间段(即第六时间段2)。类似的，图7中所示的周期也可以为网络装置的DRX的一个周期，相关内容与之类似，不再赘述。
终端装置在第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输也可以包括多种实施方式，比如终端装置可以在满足上述条件D1、条件D2、条件D3和条件D4中的一项或多项后可以不启动第一定时器，也可以启动第一定时器。下面分别通过实施方式E1和实施方式E2进行介绍。
实施方式E1，终端装置可以不启动第一定时器。
在实施方式E1中，终端装置在确定满足上述条件D1、条件D2和条件D4中的一项或多项被满足之后，可以将条件被满足的时间点作为第六时间段的起始点(第六时间段的起始点可以为位于第二时间段内的一个时间)。或者，终端装置可以将条件被满足的时间点之后的一个时间点(比如该时间点与条件被满足的时间点之间的时长可以为一个指定的时长)为第六时间段的起始点。终端装置在该过程中不启动第一定时器。
实施方式E2，终端装置可以启动第一定时器。
在实施方式E2中，终端装置在确定满足上述条件D1、条件D2、条件D3和条件D4中的一项或多项之后，终端装置可以以条件被满足的时间点作为第一定时器开启的时间点(第一定时器开启的时间点可以与前述第六时间段的起始点相同)，终端装置开启第一定时器(第一定时器指示的时间段的起始点为位于第二时间段内的一个时间)，或者终端装置可以将条件被满足的时间点之后的一个时间点(比如该时间点与条件被满足的时间点之间的时长可以为一个指定的时长)作为第一定时器指示的时间段的起始点。第一定时器指示的时间段的时长可以是预设值，第一定时器指示的时间段的截止点可以是位于第一时间段内的一个时间。第一定时器指示的时间段的长度可以是网络装置通过高层信令向终端装置指示的，高层信令比如可以是RRC信令或MAC CE。
在网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期中，若在网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制延长后的激活时间截止之前，第一条件被再次满足，则终端装置可以再次启动第一定时器，以便再次延长网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制的激活时间。一种可能的实施方式中，可以设置一个第一定时器在网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期内可以开启的次数的阈值，当第一定时器在一个周期内开启次数达到该阈值，则即使满足第一条件，也不再开启该第一定时器。
本申请实施例中，网络装置的DRX机制和/或网络装置的DTX机制的延长后的激活时间与第一时间段的交集中网络装置的处理方案以及终端装置的处理方案均可以参照网络装置和终端装置关于第三时间段的处理方案，不再赘述。
在上述步骤402中，第一信息指示第一时间段不允许第一信道传输。在实际应用中，一种可能的实施方式中，网络装置在满足预设的第二条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输。如此，网络装置可以在满足预设的第二条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输。如此，可以提高方案的灵活性，以满足网络装置的一些临时需求。
一种可能的实施方式中，网络装置可以在满足预设的第二条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输。针对非第二类型的信道，网络装置可以传输也可以不传输，比如网络装置可以在第三时间段传输一些与第三时间段所传输的第二类型的信道具有关联关系的信道。举个例子， 第二类型的信道包括PDSCH，网络装置在传输PDSCH之前，还可以发送PDCCH，该PDCCH可以用于调度该PDSCH。该PDCCH可以不属于第二类型的信道，该PDCCH可以属于与网络装置在第三时间段发送的PDSCH具有关联关系，该PDCCH也允许在第三时间段进行传输。再举个例子，第二类型的信道包括PUSCH，网络装置在接收PUSCH之前，还可以发送PDCCH，该PDCCH可以用于调度该PUSCH。该PDCCH可以不属于第二类型的信道，该PDCCH可以属于与网络装置在第三时间段接收的PUSCH具有关联关系，该PDCCH也允许在第三时间段进行传输。如此，可以满足终端装置和网络装置的信息传输需求。
又一种可能的实施方式中，网络装置在满足预设的第二条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输。针对非第二类型的信道，网络装置可以不传输，即在该实施方式中可以网络装置不再传输非第二类型的信道。如此，可以降低网络装置和终端装置的功耗。
一种可能的实施方式中，第一时间段和第二时间段为一个周期内的两个时间段，第二时间段位于第一时间段之前。第二条件包括以下条件F1、条件F2、条件F3、条件F4和条件F5中的一项或多项。
条件F1，网络装置在第二时间段内发送调度下行数据或上行数据传输的指示信息。相关介绍可以参见前述条件D1的相关描述，在此不再赘述。
条件F2，网络装置在第二时间段内发送激活非周期信号的指示信息。相关介绍可以参见前述条件D2的相关描述，在此不再赘述。
条件F3，网络装置在第二时间段内发送指示启动第一定时器的信息，第一定时器指示的时间段与第一时间段的交集为第三时间段。相关介绍可以参见前述条件D3的相关描述，在此不再赘述。
条件F4，网络装置在第二时间段内接收到预设类型的上行信道。相关介绍可以参见前述条件D4的相关描述，在此不再赘述。
条件F5，在第二时间段内发送指示延长第二时间段的指示信息，指示延长第二时间段的指示信息指示在第二时间段后延长第三时间段。相关介绍可以参见前述条件D5的相关描述，在此不再赘述。
网络装置在第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输也可以包括多种实施方式，比如网络装置可以在满足上述条件F1、条件F2、条件F3和条件F4中的一项或多项后可以不启动第一定时器，也可以启动第一定时器。网络装置的相关内容与终端装置的相关内容类似，区别仅仅是网络装置在满足第二条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输，因此网络装置的相关描述请参见前述终端装置的相关描述，不再赘述。类似的，网络装置也可以在第二条件被满足之后通过启动一个定时器的方式设置第六时间段，或者通过不启动定时器的方式设置第六时间段。相关内容与终端装置侧的方案类似，不再赘述。
本申请实施例中第二类型的信道可以包括多种可能的实施方式，下面通过实施方式G1、实施方式G2、实施方式G3、实施方式G4以及实施方式G5示例性介绍几种可能的实施方式。
实施方式G1，第二类型包括的信道类型可以包括上行信道类型。
在实施方式G1中，也可以理解为网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DRX机制，因此延长后的激活时间内允许网络装置接收上行信道。终端装置也可以在该延长后的激活时间内发送上行信道，以便满足终端装置的需求。
下面通过内容G1-1、内容G1-2、内容G1-3和内容G1-4介绍几种第二类型包括的上行信道类型的可能的实施方式，第二类型的信道可以包括如下内容G1-1、内容G1-2、内容G1-3、内容G1-4中的一项或多项。一种可能的实施方式中，网络装置突发的动态信号发送或接收需求会导致网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期中存在一个或多个第六时间段。因此一种可能的实施方中，网络装置可以在第六时间段与第一时间段的交集中进行PDCCH动态调度/激活的上行信号的接收，而不接收其他非PDCCH动态调度/激活的上行信号。从而可以节省网络装置的功耗。相对应的，终端装置可以在第六时间段与第一时间段的交集中进行PDCCH动态调度/激活的上行信号的发送，而不发送其他非PDCCH动态调度/激活的上行信号。从而可以节省网络装置的功耗。因而，在此种可能的实施方式中，第二类型的信道可以仅包括下述内容G1-1。一种可能的实施方式中，第二类型信道可以仅包括下述内容G1-1和内容G1-2。在这种实施方式中，网络装置除接收PDCCH动态调度/激活的上行信号外，还可以接收CG PUSCH，如内容G1-2。应理解，CG PUSCH的传输有利于终端装置快速传输上行数据。
一种可能的实施方式中，第二类型信道可以包括下述内容G1-1、内容G1-2、G1-3和G1-4。在这 种实施方式中，网络装置除接收PDCCH动态调度/激活的上行信号外，还可以接收CG PUSCH，如内容G1-2，以及用于上行测量的信号，如内容G2-3和内容G2-4。应理解，内容G2-3和内容G2-4的传输，有利于网络进行上行测量，进而进行更适合当前无线通信环境的调度。
内容G1-1：第一PDCCH对应的上行信道。
其中，第一PDCCH对应的上行信道包括：信道探测参考信号SRS，物理上行共享信道PUSCH，承载非周期CSI的PUCCH，承载非周期CSI的PUSCH中的一项或多项。第一PDCCH对应的上行信号，也可以理解为第一PDCCH指示终端装置发送的上行信道。一种可能的实施方式下，SRS，可以理解为非周期SRS，第一PDCCH用于指示终端装置发送非周期SRS。
由于第一PDCCH对应的上行信道在传输前需要通过第一PDCCH进行调度。因而，一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置在该第三时间段也可以允许接收第一PDCCH。第一PDCCH可以不属于第二类型的信道，第一PDCCH属于与第一PDCCH对应的上行信道具有关联关系的信道。可以看出，在该示例中，终端装置和网络装置之间可以允许在第三时间段传输一些与第二类型的信道具有关联关系的非第二类型的信道。又一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置和网络装置之间不允许在第三时间段传输非第二类型的信道。
一种可能的实施方式，第一PDCCH可以包括由C-RNTI加扰的PDCCH、由MCS-C-RNT加扰的PDCCH中的一项或多项。
内容G1-2：配置授权物理上行共享信道(configured grant PUSCH，CG PUSCH)。
此处的CG PUSCH可以是PDCCH激活的CG PUSCH，如Type 2 CG PUSCH，也可以是无需PDCCH激活的CG PUSCH，如Type 1CG PUSCH。
由于Type 2 CG PUSCH需要有PDCCH激活，因而，一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置在该第三时间段也可以允许接收PDCCH。该PDCCH可以是由CS-RNTI加扰的PDCCH。该PDCCH可以不属于第二类型的信道，PDCCH可以属于与Type 2 CG PUSCH具有关联关系的信道。可以看出，在该示例中，终端装置和网络装置之间可以允许在第三时间段传输一些与第二类型的信道具有关联关系的非第二类型的信道。又一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置和网络装置之间不允许在第三时间段传输非第二类型的信道。
内容G1-3：周期SRS。
内容G1-4：半持续SRS。
实施方式G2，第二类型包括的信道类型可以包括下行信道类型。
在实施方式G2中，也可以理解为网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DTX机制，因此延长后的激活时间内允许网络装置发送下行信道。终端装置也可以在该延长后的激活时间内接收下行信道，以便满足终端装置的需求。
一种可能的实施方式中，网络装置突发的动态信号发送或接收需求会导致网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期中存在一个或多个第六时间段。因此一种可能的实施方中，网络装置可以在第六时间段与第一时间段的交集中进行PDCCH动态调度/激活的下行信号的发送，而不发送其他非PDCCH动态调度/激活的下行信号。从而可以节省网络装置的功耗。相对应的，终端装置可以在第六时间段与第一时间段的交集中进行PDCCH动态调度/激活的下行信号的接收，而不接收其他非PDCCH动态调度/激活的下行信号。从而可以节省网络装置的功耗。因而，在此种可能的实施方式中，第二类型的信道可以仅包括下述内容G2-2。
一种可能的实施方式中，第二类型信道可以仅包括下述内容G2-1和内容G2-2。在这种实施方式中，网络装置除发送PDCCH动态调度/激活的下行信号外，还可以发送一些控制信息，如内容G2-2。应理解内容G2-2中控制信息的传输，有利于网络装置快速调整无线网络配置。
一种可能的实施方式中，第二类型信道可以仅包括下述内容G2-1、内容G2-2和内容G2-5。在这种实施方式中，网络装置除发送PDCCH动态调度/激活的下行信号外，还可以发送一些控制信息，如内容G2-2，以及SPS PDSCH，如内容G2-5。应理解，SPS PDSCH的传输有利于快速传输下行数据。
一种可能的实施方式中，第二类型信道可以包括下述内容G2-1、内容G2-2、G2-3、G2-4和内容G2-5。在这种实施方式中，网络装置除发送PDCCH动态调度/激活的下行信号外，还可以发送一些控制信息，如内容G2-2，SPS PDSCH，如内容G2-5，以及用于下行测量的信号，如内容G2-3和内容G2-4。应理解，内容G2-3和内容G2-4的传输，有利于终端装置快速进行下行信号的测量，进而网络装置可 以根据终端装置的测量结果进行更适合当前无线通信环境的调度。
一种可能的实施方式中，第二类型的信道可以包括PDCCH，PDCCH调度/激活/关联的下行信道等，还可以包括其他信道。下面通过内容G2-1、内容G2-2、内容G2-3和内容G2-4介绍几种第二类型的可能的实施方式，第二类型的信道可以满足如下内容G2-1、内容G2-2、内容G2-3和内容G2-4中的一项或多项。
内容G2-1：第三PDCCH。
一种可能的实施方式下，第三PDCCH包括：由取消指示无线网络临时标识(Cancellation indcation radio network temporary identifier，CI-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH,由中断(Interruption radio network temporary identifier，INT-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH,由时隙格式指示无线网络临时标识(Slot format indication radio network temporary identifier，SFI-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH，由半静态CSI无线网络临时标识(Semi-persistent CSI radio network temporary identifier，SP-CSI-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH,由PUCC传输功率控制无线网络临时标识(Transmit Power Control-PUCCH radio network temporary identifier，TPC-PUCCH-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH,由PUSCH传输功率控制无线网络临时标识(Transmit Power Control-PUSCH radio network temporary identifier，TPC-PUSCH-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH,由SRS传输功率控制无线网络临时标识(Transmit Power Control-SRS radio network temporary identifier，TPC-SRS-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH),有软资源可用性指示无线网络临时标识(Availability indication radio network temporary identifier，AI-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH,(System information radio network temporary identifier，SI-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH，随机接入无线网络临时标识(Random Access radio network temporary identifier，RA-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH，临时无线网络临时标识(Temporary cell radio network temporary identifier，TC-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH，寻呼无线网络临时标识(Paging radio network temporary identifier，P-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH，节能无线网络临时标识(Power saving radio network temporary identifier，PS-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH，消息B无线网络临时标识(Message B radio network temporary identifier，MsgB-RNTI加扰的PDCCH)，寻呼提早指示无线网路临时标识(Paging early indication radio network temporary identifier，PEI-RNTI)加扰的PDCCH，网络节能小区无线网络临时标识加扰的PDCCH中的一项或多项。需要说明的是，终端装置接收第三PDCCH，也意味着终端装置要接收第三PDCCH关联的下行信号(如果该第三PDCCH关联了下行信号)。示例的，终端装置接收由SI-RNTI加扰的PDCCH，终端装置可以接收由SI-RNTI加扰的PDCCH调度的用于承载系统信息块的PDSCH。示例的，终端装置接收由RA-RNTI加扰的PDCCH，终端装置可以接收由RA-RNTI加扰的PDCCH调度的用于承载随机接入消息2的PDSCH。
内容G2-2：第二PDCCH对应的下行信道。
一种可能的实施方式中，第二PDCCH对应的下行信道包括：物理下行共享信道，SPS PDSCH，非周期CSI-RS中的一项或多项。
由于第二PDCCH对应的下行信道在传输前需要通过第二PDCCH进行调度。因而，一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置在该第三时间段也可以允许接收第二PDCCH。第二PDCCH可以不属于第二类型的信道，第二PDCCH属于与第二PDCCH对应的下行信道具有关联关系的信道。可以看出，在该示例中，终端装置和网络装置之间可以允许在第三时间段传输一些与第二类型的信道具有关联关系的非第二类型的信道。又一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置和网络装置之间不允许在第三时间段传输非第二类型的信道。
一种可能的实施方式中，第二PDCCH包括由C-RNTI加扰的PDCCH、由CS-RNTI加扰的PDCCH、由MCS-C-RNT加扰的PDCCH中的一项或多项。
内容G2-3：周期CSI-RS。
内容G2-4：半持续CSI-RS。
内容G2-5：SPS PDSCH。
网络装置通过RRC信令，配置了半静态调度的下行数据传输。即在每个周期内，会在一个固定的时频资源上发送PDSCH。每个时频资源都称为一个SPS PDSCH时机(SPS PDSCH occasion)，可以解释成发送机会，表示时频资源可以用来承载和发送下行数据。SPS PDSCH occasion可以是RRC信令配置并激活，或者，也可以是通过RRC信令配置，在RRC信令配置之后通过PDCCH激活。因而，终端装置在该第三时间段需要接收用于激活SPS PDSCH的PDCCH。该PDCCH可以是由CS-RNTI加扰的 PDCCH。
实施方式G3，第二类型包括的信道类型可以包括上行信道类型和下行信道类型。
在实施方式G3中，也可以理解为网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制。网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制的一个周期内的激活时间相同。因此延长后的激活时间内允许网络装置发送下行信道，也允许网络装置接收上行信道。终端装置也可以在该延长后的激活时间内接收下行信道，也可以发送上行信道，以便满足终端装置的需求。
一种可能的情况，第二类型包括的上行信道类型为内容G1-1，第二类型包括的下行信道类型为内容G2-2。网络装置突发的动态信号发送或接收需求会导致网络装置的DTX和网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期中存在一个或多个第六时间段。因此一种可能的实施方中，网络装置可以在第六时间段与第一时间段的交集中进行PDCCH动态调度/激活的下行信号的发送和上行信号的接收，而不发送和接收其他非PDCCH动态调度/激活的信号。从而可以节省网络装置的功耗。相对应的，终端装置可以在第六时间段与第一时间段的交集中进行PDCCH动态调度/激活的下行信号的接收和上行信号的发送，而不接收其他非PDCCH动态调度/激活的下行信号和不发送其他非PDCCH动态调度/激活的上行信号。从而可以节省网络装置的功耗。
一种可能的实施方式，第二类型包括的上行信道类型为内容G1-1，第二类型包括的下行信道类型为内容G2-2和内容G2-2。相关内容和有益效果参见前述描述，不再赘述。
一种可能的实施方式，第二类型包括的上行信道类型为内容G1-1和内容G1-2，第二类型包括的下行信道类型为内容G2-2、内容G2-2和内容G2-5。相关内容和有益效果参见前述描述，不再赘述。
一种可能的实施方式，第二类型包括的上行信道类型为内容G1-1、内容G1-2、G1-3和内容G1-4，第二类型包括的下行信道类型为内容G2-2、内容G2-2、内容G2-3、内容G2-4和内容G2-5。相关内容和有益效果参见前述描述，不再赘述。
实施方式G4，第二类型包括的信道类型可以包括所有上行信道类型和所有下行信道类型。
在实施方式G4中，也可以理解为网络装置和/或终端装置配置有网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制。网络装置的DTX机制和网络装置的DRX机制的一个周期内的激活时间相同。因此延长后的激活时间内允许网络装置发送所有下行信道，也允许网络装置接收所有上行信道。终端装置也可以在该延长后的激活时间内接收所有下行信道，也可以发送所有上行信道，以便满足终端装置的需求。
实施方式G5，第二类型不包括半持续信号和/或周期信号。
半持续信号包括：半持续CSI-RS、半持续SRS。
周期信号包括：SSB、SIB、PRACH、周期CSI-RS，周期SRS，CG PUSCH，或SPS PDSCH中的一项或多项。
SSB包括主同步信号(primary synchronization signals,PSS)、辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signals,SSS)、物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)。PSS/SSS主要用于终端装置下行同步和获取小区标识(identification，ID)，下行同步包括时钟同步，无线帧同步，符号同步。PBCH承载主信息块(master information block，MIB)，MIB中包括系统帧号(system frame number，SFN)，子载波间隔，调度系统信息(system information，SI)的PDCCH配置等信息。
又一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置在满足预设的第一条件的情况下，在第一时间段内的第三时间段进行第二类型的信道的传输，不传输或传输其他非第二类型的信道，如此可以降低装置的功耗。一种可能的实施方式中，非第二类型的信道比如可以为本申请实施例中信号集合中除了上述第二类型的信道之外的信道。
基于上述图1、图2、图3、图4、图5、图6和图7所示实施例以及上述其他内容，图8示例性示出了本申请实施例提供一种通信方法的可能的流程示意图。图8中的方案以网络装置和终端装置交互执行为例进行介绍。网络装置和终端装置的相关描述参见前述内容，不再赘述。
相比图4所示的实施例，图8所示的实施例与之区别之处在于：第一时间段内允许进行第一类型的信道的传输，基于此，终端装置和/或网络装置可以在第一时间段进行第一类型的信道的传输。或者，也可以理解为终端装置和/或网络装置在第一时间段不传输非第一类型的信道。
如图8所示，该方法包括：
步骤801，网络装置向终端装置发送第一信息。
相对应的，终端装置接收来自网络装置的第一信息。
第一信息指示在第一时间段内允许进行第一类型的信道的传输。
步骤802，网络装置在第一时间段内进行第一类型的信道的传输。
在步骤802中，网络装置还可以在第一时间段内不传输非第一类型的信道，即若网络装置在第一时间段内存在需传输的信道的类型并非第一类型，则网络装置不进行该信道的传输。
步骤803，终端装置根据第一信息，在第一时间段内进行第一类型的信道的传输。
在步骤802中，终端装置还可以在第一时间段内不传输非第一类型的信道，即若终端装置在第一时间段内存在需传输的信道的类型并非第一类型，则终端装置不进行该信道的传输。又一种可能的实施方式中，若终端装置在第一时间段内存在需传输的信道的类型并非第一类型，则终端装置也进行该信道的传输。
由于图8所示的方案中允许在第一时间段内进行第一类型的信道的传输，一方面，可以满足终端装置和网络装置的一些需求，另一方面由于限制了第一时间段允许传输的信道的类型，终端装置和/或网络装置不必在第一时间段传输大量的信道，即降低了第一时间段内终端装置和/或网络装置传输的信道的数量，从而可以降低终端装置和/或网络装置的功耗。下面结合附图对图8所示的实施例进行进一步的介绍。
本申请实施例中第一类型的信道可以包括多种可能的实施方式。第一类型信道可以网络装置通过RRC信令配置的，或者通过第一信息指示的，或预定义的。
一种可能的实施方式中，针对非第一类型的信道，终端装置在第一时间段可以传输也可以不传输。比如终端装置可以在第一时间段传输一些与第一时间段所传输的第一类型的信道具有关联关系的信道。举个例子，第一类型的信道包括PDSCH，终端装置在第一时间段接收到PDSCH之后，终端装置还可以向网络装置发送该PDSCH的反馈信息。该PDSCH的反馈信息不属于第一类型的信道，该PDSCH的反馈信息与终端装置在第一时间段发送的PDSCH具有关联关系，该PDSCH的反馈信息也允许在第一时间段进行传输。再举个例子，第一类型的信道包括PUSCH，终端装置在传输PUSCH之前，还可以接收PDCCH，该PDCCH可以用于调度该PUSCH。该PDCCH可以不属于第一类型的信道，该PDCCH可以属于与终端装置在第一时间段发送的PUSCH具有关联关系，该PDCCH也允许在第一时间段进行传输。如此，可以满足终端装置和网络装置的信息传输需求。
又一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置第一时间段进行第一类型的信道的传输。终端装置在第一时间段不传输非第一类型的信道，即在该实施方式中可以终端装置不再传输非第一类型的信道。如此，可以降低网络装置和终端装置的功耗。

相比图4和图8所示的实施例，图9所示的实施例与之区别之处在于：终端装置和/或网络装置还配置有终端装置的DRX机制，终端装置的DRX机制的一个周期内的激活时间称为第四时间段。终端装置的DRX机制的一个周期内的非激活时间称为第五时间段。下面通过图9所示的方案，具体介绍第四时间段和/或第五时间段内终端装置和网络装置的具体行为。
如图9所示，该方法包括：
步骤901，网络装置向终端装置发送第二信息。
相对应的，终端装置接收来自网络装置的第二信息。第二信息指示在第四时间段内允许上行信道传输和下行信道传输。第四时间段的时间为终端装置的DRX的激活时间。
一种可能的实施方式中，第二信息还指示第五时间段。第五时间段的时间为终端装置的DRX的非激活时间。通过前述内容可知，终端装置的DRX机制的非激活时间允许终端装置传输一部分信道，相关内容参见前述内容，不再赘述。另一种可能的实施方式中，第二信息还指示第一周期，所述第一周期为终端装置的DRX机制的周期，所述第一周期内除第四时间段外的其他时间可以为所述第五时间段。
一种可能的实施方式中，终端装置的DRX的激活时间可以包括定时器的工作时间，该定时器可以为drx-onDurationTimer、drx-InactivityTimer、drx-RetransmissionTimerDL、drx-RetransmissionTimerUL、ra-ContentionResolutionTimer中的一个。
其中，drx-onDurationTimer、drx-InactivityTimer可以参见前述描述，不再赘述。drx-RetransmissionTimerDL可以用于表示终端装置等待下行重传数据的最长时间，该定时器在drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL(用于下行传输)超时，并且没有正确解调出相应的下行数据情况下启动。在drx-RetransmissionTimerDL未超时前，终端装置处于终端装置的DRX机制的激活时间。
其中，drx-RetransmissionTimerUL可以用于表示终端装置等待上行重传许可(grant)的最长时间，该定时器在drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL(用于上行传输的)超时情况下启动。在drx-RetransmissionTimerUL未超时前，UE处于激活期，终端装置处于终端装置的DRX机制的激活时间。
其中，ra-ContentionResolutionTimer为终端装置发送PRACH后，等待接收Msg2的定时器。在ra-ContentionResolutionTimer为超时前，终端装置会尝试接收Msg2，也可以说，终端装置会检测调度Msg2的PDCCH，在检测到调度Msg2的PDCCH后，接收Msg2。因而，在ra-ContentionResolutionTimer为超时前，终端装置处于终端装置的DRX机制的激活时间。
步骤902，网络装置向终端装置发送第一信息。
相对应的，终端装置接收来自网络装置的第一信息。
步骤902中的第一信息可以为前述步骤401中的第一信息，比如第一信息指示在第一时间段不传输全部上行信道和/或下行信道。或者，步骤902中的第一信息可以为前述步骤801中的第一信息，比如第一信息指示在第一时间段允许进行第一类型的信道的传输。第一信息还指示第二时间段允许传输所有上行信道和所有下行信道。
图10示例性示出一种终端装置的DRX机制的一个周期和网络装置的一个网络装置的DTX机制的一个周期的示例，参见图10，第一时间段和第二时间段中的每个时间段分别与第四时间段和第五时间段之间存在交集，后续将描述各个交集中终端装置的具体处理方式，在此先不做阐述。
步骤903，终端装置在第四时间段与第一时间段存在交集的情况下，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，不发送所有上行信道和/或不接收所有下行信道；进行第二类型的信道的传输；进行第一类型的信道的传输；进行第二类型和第一类型的信道的传输；或，发送所有上行信道和/或接收所有下行信 道。
第一时间段可以为网络装置的DTX机制和/或网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间，这种情况下，第一信息可以指示第一时间段不传输全部下行信道、不传输全部上行信道，或在第一时间段允许进行第一类型的信道的传输中的一项或多项。也就是说，图10所示的实施例中的第一信息可以为前述图4所示实施例中的信息，也可以为前述图8所示实施例中的信息。在第四时间段与第一时间段存在交集的情况下，可以理解为终端装置的DRX机制的激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制和/或网络装置的DRX机制的非激活时间重叠，这种情况下，终端装置该如何处理，本申请实施例以下通过实施方式J1、实施方式J2、实施方式J3和实施方式J4给出了几种可能的示例。
实施方式J1，第四时间段与第一时间段存在交集的情况，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置可以执行如下实施方式J1-1、实施方式J1-2、实施方式J1-3、实施方式J1-4和实施方式J1-5中的一项。
实施方式J1-1，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置不进行第一信道的传输。
该实施方式中，比如第一信息可以指示在第一时间段不进行第一信道的传输，第一信道包括全部上行信号和/或全部下行信道。
该实施方式中，终端装置也可以在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中依据第一信息的指示执行相关方案。比如，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置根据第一信息不进行第一信道的传输，第一信道包括全部上行信号和/或全部下行信道。
在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置不接收所有下行信道和/或不发送所有上行信道，可以包括：在第一时间段的起始时域位置，终端装置停止正在工作的定时器，该定时器可以为：drx-onDurationTimer、drx-InactivityTimer、drx-RetransmissionTimerDL、drx-RetransmissionTimerUL、ra-ContentionResolutionTimer中的一个。
在此种实施方式中，在第一时间段内，在网络装置不发送信号和/或不接收信号的时候，终端装置不会基于终端装置的DRX机制去发送一些网络装置不会接收的信号，终端装置也不会基于终端装置的DRX机制去尝试接收网络装置不会发送的信号。如此，可以解决终端装置的DRX机制的激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间重叠带来的冲突问题，且可以降低终端装置和网络装置的功耗。
实施方式J1-2，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置进行第一类型的信道的传输。
该实施方式中，第一信息也可以是指示第一时间段允许进行第一类型的信道的传输。该实施方式中，也可以理解为终端装置也可以在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中依据第一信息的指示执行相关方案。
比如，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置进行第一类型的信道的传输。在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置也可以不进行非第一类型的信道的传输，或者可以进行与第一类型的信道具有关联关系的信道的传输，关于此内容的相关介绍参见前述关于第一类型的相关内容，不再赘述。第一类型的相关介绍参见前述内容，不再赘述。
在此种实施方式中，在第一时间段内，在网络装置不传输非第一类型的信道的情况下，终端装置不会基于终端装置的DRX机制去发送一些网络装置不会接收的信号，终端装置也不会基于终端装置的DRX机制去尝试接收网络装置不会发送的信号。如此，可以解决终端装置的DRX机制的激活时间与网络装置的DTX机制的非激活时间重叠带来的冲突问题，且可以降低终端装置和网络装置的功耗。
实施方式J1-3，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置进行第二类型的信道的传输。
该实施方式中，第一信息可以指示在第一时间段不进行第一信道的传输，第一信道包括全部上行信号和/或全部下行信道。或，第一信息也可以是指示第一时间段允许进行第一类型的信道的传输。
比如，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置进行第二类型的信道的传输。在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置也可以不进行非第二类型的信道的传输，或者可以进行与第二类型的信道具有关联关系的信道的传输，关于此内容的相关介绍参见前述关于第二类型的相关内容，不再赘述。第二类型的相关介绍参见前述内容，不再赘述。
在此种实施方式中，在第一时间段内，如果终端装置处于终端装置的DRX机制的激活时间，说明终端装置存在数据传输的需求，因而，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置可以进行第二类型的信道的传输，而不是所有信号的传输，既有利于终端装置进行快速的数据传输，也可以尽量减少网络装置需要接收和发送的信号，有利于网络装置进一步节能。
实施方式J1-4，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置进行第一类型的信道和第二类型 的信道的传输。

在此种实施方式中，在第一时间段内，如果终端装置处于DRX激活时间，说明终端装置存在数据传输的需求，因而，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置除了进行第一类型信道的传输外，还可以进行第二类型的信道的传输，而不是所有信号的传输，既有利于终端装置进行快速的数据传输，有可以尽量减少网络装置需要接收和发送的信号，有利于网络装置进一步节能。
实施方式J1-5，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置接收所有下行信道和所有上行信道。
该实施方式中，第一信息可以指示在第一时间段不进行第一信道的传输，第一信道包括全部上行信号和/或全部下行信道。或，第一信息也可以是指示第一时间段允许进行第一类型的信道的传输。
在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置接收所有下行信道和发送所有上行信道。在此种实施方式中，在第一时间段内，如果终端装置处于DRX激活时间，说明终端装置存在数据传输的需求，因而，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置可以发送所有上行信号和接收所有下行信号，有利于终端装置进行快速的数据传输。
实施方式J2，第五时间段与第二时间段存在交集的情况。第五时间段的时间为终端装置的DRX的非激活时间。通过前述内容可知，终端装置的DRX机制的非激活时间允许终端装置传输一部分信道，相关内容参见前述内容，不再赘述。第二时间段为网络装置的DTX机制和/或网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间。
在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置可以执行如下实施方式J2-1、实施方式J2-2和实施方式J2-3中的一项。
实施方式J2-1，在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置进行第一类型的信道的传输。
在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置进行第一类型的信道的传输。在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置也可以不进行非第一类型的信道的传输，或者可以进行与第一类型的信道具有关联关系的信道的传输，关于此内容的相关介绍参见前述关于第一类型的相关内容，不再赘述。第一类型的相关介绍参见前述内容，不再赘述。如此，可以解决终端装置的DRX机制的非激活时间与网络装置的DTX和/或网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间重叠带来的冲突问题，同时，由于已经处于网络装置的DTX和/或网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间，终端装置发送或接收一些必须的信号，以保证网络装置和终端装置的通信连接性能。
实施方式J2-2，在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置进行第一类型的信道和第二类型的信道的传输。
在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置进行第一类型的信道和第二类型的信道的传输。在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置也可以不进行非第一类型的信道的传输，或者可以进行与第一类型的信道具有关联关系的信道传输。在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置也可以不进行非第二类型的信道的传输，或者可以进行与第二类型的信道具有关联关系的信道的传输。
在此种实施方式中，在第二时间段内，如果终端装置处于网络装置的DTX和/或网络装置的DRX机制的激活时间，终端装置可以发送或接收一些必须的信号，以保证网络装置和终端装置的通信连接性能，并且网络装置可能存在传输数据的需求，因而，在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置除了进行第一类型信道的传输外，还可以进行第二类型的信道的传输，有利于终端装置进行快速的数据传输。
实施方式J2-3，在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置接收所有下行信道和所有上行信道。
在第五时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置接收所有下行信道和发送所有上行信道。在此种实施方式中，在第二时间段内，如果终端装置处于网络装置的DRX和/或DTX激活时间，因而，在第五 时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置可以发送所有上行信号和接收所有下行信号，有利于终端装置进行快速的数据传输。
实施方式J3，第五时间段与第一时间段存在交集的情况，在第五时间段与第一时间段的交集中，终端装置可以执行的方案可以与第一信息指示的第一时间段的内容匹配。
比如，第一信息可以指示在第一时间段不进行第一信道的传输，第一信道包括全部上行信道和/或全部下行信道，终端装置在第五时间段与第一时间段的交集中不进行第一信道的传输，从而可以降低终端装置的功耗，继而也降低网络装置的功耗。
再比如，第一信息也可以是指示第一时间段允许进行第一类型的信道的传输。终端装置在第五时间段与第一时间段的交集中进行第一类型的信道的传输，可以不传输非第一类型的信道，也可以传输非第一类型的信道(比如与第一类型具有关联关系的信道)，从而可以降低终端装置的功耗，继而也降低网络装置的功耗。
实施方式J4，第四时间段与第二时间段存在交集的情况，在第四时间段与第二时间段的交集中，终端装置可以接收所有下行信道和/或发送所有上行信道。
步骤904，网络装置在第四时间段与第一时间段存在交集的情况下，在第四时间段与第一时间段的交集中，不接收所有上行信道和/或不发送所有下行信道；进行第二类型的信道的传输；进行第一类型的信道的传输，进行第一类型的信道和第二类型的信道的传输，或，接收所有上行信道和/或发送所有下行信道。
网络装置在图10所示的各个交集中所执行的方案与步骤903中终端装置侧执行的方案类似，区别仅仅是执行主体不同，比如网络装置可以执行上述实施方式J1至实施方式J4中的任一种或多种实施方式，相关内容参考前述描述，在此不再赘述。
