Method and apparatus for performing drx operations in wireless communication system

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

• at least one transceiver;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving configuration information of a short discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle and a long DRX cycle from a network, wherein the configuration information includes information about a first ON duration for the short DRX cycle and a second ON duration for the long DRX cycle;
• and
• monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during the first ON duration using the short DRX cycle or during the second ON duration using the long DRX cycle according to the configuration information,
• wherein the length of the second ON duration is shorter than the length of the first ON duration.
