Abstract
This application provides a terminal apparatus and method for discontinuous reception (DRX) in an unlicensed band, and may be applied to a scenario in which a terminal device performs communication through a sidelink or a Uu link. A signal receive end monitors a sidelink signal and/or a downlink signal on a grant-free resource configured by a network device, and switches between a non-DRX mode and a DRX mode when a corresponding preset condition is met. Alternatively, a transmit end directly indicates a receive end to use a DRX mode or a non-DRX mode, or indirectly indicates, with assistance of a network device, a receive end to use a DRX mode or a non-DRX mode. In this way, DRX of the receive end can be implemented in a sidelink unlicensed band or a Uu link unlicensed band. This reduces power consumption of the receive end.
