Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for user equipment (UE) initiated enhanced connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) commands. An example method, performed at a user equipment (UE), generally includes receiving first signaling configuring the UE for an enhanced connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode, and transmitting a request for the UE to enter a low power state during a current C-DRX cycle prior to expiration of at least one of an on duration timer or inactivity timer, wherein the request proposes the UE remain in the low power state for a first number of one or more future C-DRX cycles.
Claims21
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
- and one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the UE to:
- receive first signaling configuring the UE for an enhanced connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode;
- and
- transmit, while in the enhanced C-DRX mode, a request for the UE to enter a low power state during an on-duration of a current C-DRX cycle prior to expiration of at least one of an on-duration timer or an inactivity timer, wherein the request proposes the UE remain in the low power state for a first number of one or more future C-DRX cycles.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:
- at least one memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
- and one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the network entity to:
- transmit first signaling configuring a user equipment (UE) for an enhanced connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode;
- and
- receive, after transmitting the first signaling, a request for the UE to enter a low power state during an on-duration of a current C-DRX cycle prior to expiration of at least one of an on-duration timer or an inactivity timer, wherein the request proposes the UE remain in the low power state for a first number of one or more future C-DRX cycles.
A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving first signaling configuring the UE for an enhanced connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) command mode;
- and
- transmitting a request for the UE to enter a low power state during a current C-DRX cycle prior to expiration of at least one of an on duration timer or inactivity timer, wherein the request proposes the UE remain in the low power state for a first number of one or more future C-DRX cycles.
