Command for extended idle mode discontinuous reception

A method, comprising:

• in response to sending a first extended discontinuous reception command to a device on a network, receiving, by a base station device on the network, a first update comprising a group of supported extended discontinuous reception parameters, wherein the base station device comprises a processor;
• in response to sending a second extended discontinuous reception command to the device, receiving, by the base station device, a second update comprising a current extended discontinuous reception parameter;
• and
• sending, by the base station device, a third extended discontinuous reception command to the device to replace the current extended discontinuous reception parameter with a different extended discontinuous reception parameter of the group of supported extended discontinuous reception parameters.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device on a network, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• in response to receiving a first extended discontinuous reception command from a base station device on the network, transmitting a first update comprising a group of supported extended discontinuous reception parameters;
• in response to receiving a second extended discontinuous reception command from the base station device, transmitting a second update comprising a current extended discontinuous reception parameter;
• and
• receiving a third extended discontinuous reception command from the base station device to replace the current extended discontinuous reception parameter with a different extended discontinuous reception parameter of the group of supported extended discontinuous reception parameters.
