1. A communication apparatus, comprising:
a transceiver which, in operation, receives a configuration of a PoSS (power saving signal) time window for monitoring a PoSS, the PoSS time window preceding a DRX (discontinuous reception) ON period for monitoring a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel), wherein the PoSS indicates whether or not the communication apparatus starts monitoring for the PDCCH in the DRX ON period; and
circuitry which, in operation, determines, based on the configuration, the PoSS time window, and controls the transceiver to perform monitoring for the PoSS within the PoSS time window,
wherein the PoSS time window ends at the start of the DRX ON period.
