Abstract
A method and a user equipment (UE) for controlling Discontinuous Reception (DRX) behavior on multiple radio interfaces are provided. The method includes receiving, from a Base Station (BS), a first set of timers configured for controlling a first DRX behavior of the UE on a Uu interface to the BS; performing control channel monitoring according to the first set of timers; identifying that a Sidelink (SL) activity occurs on an SL interface that is a PC5 interface, the SL activity associated with one or more SL destinations on the PC5 interface; and starting or restarting at least one of the first set of timers in response to identifying the SL activity.

A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for controlling Discontinuous Reception (DRX) behavior on multiple radio interfaces, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a Base Station (BS), a first set of timers configured for controlling a first DRX behavior of the UE on a Uu interface;
- performing control channel monitoring according to the first set of timers;
- identifying that a Sidelink (SL) activity has occurred on an SL interface that is a PC5 interface, the SL activity associated with one or more SL destinations on the PC5 interface;
- starting or restarting at least one of the first set of timers in response to identifying the occurrence of the SL activity;
- receiving, from the BS, a second set of timers configured for controlling a Discontinuous Transmission and/or Reception (DTRX) behavior of the UE on the SL interface;
- identifying that a Uu activity has occurred on the Uu interface;
- and
- starting or restarting at least one of the second set of timers in response to identifying the occurrence of the Uu activity.
A User Equipment (UE) for controlling Discontinuous Reception (DRX) behavior on multiple radio interfaces, the UE comprising:
- transceiver circuitry;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory storing a set of computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the UE to:
- use the transceiver circuitry to receive, from a Base Station (BS), a first set of timers configured for controlling a first DRX behavior of the UE on a Uu interface;
- control the transceiver circuitry to perform control channel monitoring according to the first set of timers;
- identify that a Sidelink (SL) activity has occurred on an SL interface that is a PC5 interface, the SL activity associated with one or more SL destinations on the PC5 interface;
- start or restart at least one of the first set of timers in response to identifying the occurrence of the SL activity;
- use the transceiver circuitry to receive, from the BS, a second set of timers configured for controlling a Discontinuous Transmission and/or Reception (DTRX) behavior of the UE on the SL interface;
- identify that a Uu activity has occurred on the Uu interface;
- and
- start or restarting at least one of the second set of timers in response to identifying the occurrence of the Uu activity.
