Abstract
A method and apparatus for handling discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration in a network of a wireless communication system includes configuring DRX cycles of a DRX function in a user equipment (UE) to include a first DRX cycle, a second DRX cycle having a value greater than a value of the first DRX cycle, and a third DRX cycle having a value greater than the value of the second DRX cycle for the UE to switch the DRX cycle between the first DRX cycle, the second DRX cycle and the third DRX cycle in a Radio Resource Control Connected (RRC_CONNECTED) mode.
Claims28
A method for handling discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration in a network of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- configuring DRX cycles of a DRX function in a user equipment (UE) to include a first DRX cycle, a second DRX cycle having a value greater than a value of the first DRX cycle, and a third DRX cycle having a value greater than the value of the second DRX cycle for the UE to switch the DRX cycle between the first DRX cycle, the second DRX cycle and the third DRX cycle in a Radio Resource Control Connected (RRC_CONNECTED) mode.
A communication device for handling discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration in a network of a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a processor installed in the control circuit;
- and
- a memory installed in the control circuit and coupled to the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in memory to provide discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration to a user equipment (UE) by:
- configuring DRX cycles of a DRX function in a UE to include a first DRX cycle, a second DRX cycle having a value greater than a value of the first DRX cycle, and a third DRX cycle having a value greater than the value of the second DRX cycle for the UE to switch the DRX cycle between the first DRX cycle, the second DRX cycle and the third DRX cycle in a Radio Resource Control Connected (RRC_CONNECTED) mode.
A method for discontinuous reception (DRX) function in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- being configured by a network with DRX cycles of a DRX function including a first DRX cycle, a second DRX cycle with a value greater than a value of the first DRX cycle, and a third DRX cycle with a value greater than the value of the second DRX cycle;
- and
- switching the DRX cycle between the first DRX cycle, the second DRX cycle and the third DRX cycle in a Radio Resource Control Connected (RRC_CONNECTED) mode.
A communication device for handling discontinuous reception (DRX) in a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a processor installed in the control circuit;
- and
- a memory installed in the control circuit and coupled to the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in memory to perform the DRX function by:
- being configured by a network with DRX cycles of a DRX function including first DRX cycle, a second DRX cycle with a value greater than a value of the first DRX cycle, and a third DRX cycle with a value greater than the value of the second DRX cycle;
- and
- switching the DRX cycle between the first DRX cycle, the second DRX cycle and the third DRX cycle in a Radio Resource Control Connected (RRC_CONNECTED) mode.
