Synchronization of traffic and discontinuous reception and/or semipersistent scheduling

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

• transmitting, to a network entity, a request for at least one of:
• a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration for application traffic,
• wherein the DRX configuration is to synchronize a traffic pattern associated with the application traffic with a DRX cycle of the UE or to synchronize the DRX cycle of the UE with the traffic pattern, or
• a semipersistent scheduling (SPS) configuration for the application traffic,
• wherein the SPS configuration is to synchronize the traffic pattern with an SPS cycle of the UE;
• and
• receiving, from the network entity and based at least in part on transmitting the request, an indication of at least one of the DRX configuration or the SPS configuration.

A method of wireless communication performed by network entity, comprising:

• receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request for at least one of:
• a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration for application traffic, or
• a semipersistent scheduling (SPS) configuration for the application traffic,
• wherein the request indicates an application server that is to indicate a traffic pattern for the application traffic;
• receiving, from the application server, an indication of the traffic pattern for the application traffic;
• determining, based at least in part on one or more measurements associated with the traffic pattern, one or more parameters for at least one of the DRX configuration or the SPS configuration,
• wherein the one or more parameters are configured to one of:
• synchronize the traffic pattern with a DRX cycle of the UE,
• synchronize the DRX cycle of the UE with the traffic pattern, or
• synchronize the traffic pattern with an SPS cycle of the UE;
• and
• transmitting, to the UE, an indication of at least one of the DRX configuration or the SPS configuration.

A method of wireless communication performed by an application server, comprising:

• providing, to a user equipment (UE) or a network controller, an indication of a traffic pattern associated with application traffic;
• receiving, from the UE or the network controller, an indication of at least one of:
• a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration associated with the UE,
• wherein the DRX configuration is to synchronize the traffic pattern with a DRX cycle of the UE or to synchronize the DRX cycle of the UE with the traffic pattern, or
• a semipersistent scheduling (SPS) configuration associated with the UE,
• wherein the SPS configuration is to synchronize the traffic pattern with an SPS cycle of the UE;
• and
• adjusting, based at least in part on at least one of the DRX configuration or the SPS configuration, the traffic pattern to be transmitted to the UE.
