Techniques and apparatuses for configuring an extended discontinuous reception cycle

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• waking up for a plurality of on durations of an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle, wherein the eDRX cycle is configured with a cycle length;
• periodically determining whether the UE is in a condition, associated with triggering a tracking area update, during the plurality of on durations,
• wherein the condition includes at least one of a mobility condition or a cell edge condition;
• and
• periodically reconfiguring the cycle length of the eDRX cycle based at least in part on determining whether the UE is in the condition, wherein the cycle length is decreased when the UE is in the condition or is increased when the UE is not in the condition,
• wherein when the cycle length is decreased when the UE is in the condition, the cycle length is decreased based on a tracking area update period.

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
• configure a cycle length of an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle;
• determine whether the UE is in a condition, associated with triggering a tracking area update, during an on duration of the eDRX cycle,
• wherein the condition includes at least one of a mobility condition or a cell edge condition;
• and
• selectively increase or decrease the cycle length of the eDRX cycle based at least in part on determining whether the UE is in the condition, wherein the cycle length is decreased when the UE is in the condition or is increased when the UE is not in the condition,
• wherein when the cycle length is decreased when the UE is in the condition, the cycle length is decreased based on a tracking area update period.
