Adapting channel monitoring patterns under power saving

Abstract

A communication device configured to operate in a communications network that includes a network node can determine that the communication device will perform a radio link procedure (“RLP”) in a mode of operation. The communication device can further determine information associated with a channel monitoring pattern (“CMP”) based on determining that the communication device will perform the RLP in the mode of operation. The communication device can further monitor a channel between the network node and the communication device based on the information associated with the CMP.
