Transmission packet bundling for voice over network communications

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network node, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
• transmit a UE capability of a receiver user equipment (UE) comprising a connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) cycle associated with the receiver UE;
• receive, from a transmitter UE, a first set of uplink (UL) transmissions associated with a first set of audio packets based on a first periodic time interval, wherein the first periodic time interval is different than the CDRX cycle, wherein the first periodic time interval is based on a first multiplier and the CDRX cycle;
• and
• output, for a receiver UE, the first set of UL transmissions associated with the first set of audio packets.

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

• receiving an indication of a connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) cycle associated with a second UE;
• obtaining a first set of audio packets based on a configured periodic cycle;
• and
• transmitting, for a network node, a first set of uplink (UL) transmissions associated with the first set of audio packets based on a first periodic time interval, wherein the first periodic time interval is different than the CDRX cycle and the configured periodic cycle, wherein the first periodic time interval is based on a first multiplier and the CDRX cycle.
