5. A non-transitory storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising computer instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and determine whether to enter a sleep mode, wherein entering the sleep mode comprises skipping a duration of PDCCH monitoring occasions or modifying a configuration of the PDCCH;
wherein based on monitoring being completed on the PDCCH ending in frame n and it being determined to enter the sleep mode, the processor is further caused to perform any one of following actions:
not monitoring the PDCCH on any frame from (n+1)th to (n+k−1)th frames, where ACK/NACK feedback indicated by the PDCCH starts at an (n+k)th frame; or
not monitoring the PDCCH on any frame from (n+1)th to (n+k−1)th frames, where a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the PDCCH ends at an (n+k)th frame;
wherein n and k are integers.
