Abstract
Wireless transmit receive units (WTRUs) and methods implemented in WTRUs are described. A method includes transmitting idle mode discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters to a serving general packet radio service (GPRS) support node (SGSN)/mobile management entity (MME) during one of a tracking area update (TAU) and a routing area update (RAU) procedure and implementing the DRX mode of operation using the transmitted DRX parameters. The DRX parameters are for a DRX mode of operation that has longer DRX intervals than a regular DRX mode of operation.
Claims7
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit idle mode discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters to a serving general packet radio service (GPRS) support node (SGSN)/mobile management entity (MME) during one of a tracking area update (TAU) and a routing area update (RAU) procedure, wherein the DRX parameters are for a DRX mode of operation that has longer DRX intervals than a regular DRX mode of operation;
- and
- a processor configured to control the WTRU to implement the DRX mode of operation using the transmitted DRX parameters.
A method implemented in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
- transmitting idle mode discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters to a serving general packet radio service (GPRS) support node (SGSN)/mobile management entity (MME) during one of a tracking area update (TAU) and a routing area update (RAU) procedure, wherein the DRX parameters are for a DRX mode of operation that has longer DRX intervals than a regular DRX mode of operation;
- and
- implementing the DRX mode of operation using the transmitted DRX parameters.
A network node comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive idle mode discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters from a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) during one of a tracking area update (TAU) and a routing area update (RAU) procedure, wherein the DRX parameters are for a DRX mode of operation that has longer DRX intervals than a regular DRX mode of operation;
- and
- a processor configured to configure the WTRU to implement the DRX mode of operation using the received DRX parameters.
