Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable media for communication. A terminal device receives a configuration of DRX cycle from a network device and determines a set of starting times for a set of DRX cycles at least based on the configuration of DRX and a SFN period, wherein the SFN period comprises multiple consecutive SFNs. Then the terminal device performs a downlink channel monitoring based on the set of starting times. In this way, a starting time of a DRX cycle may be roughly aligned with arrival time of a packet without accumulated latency, wasted resource, additional signaling overhead and SFN period boundary issue.
