Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that a secondary cell (SCell) is to be activated for the UE or switched from a dormant state to an active state, where the SCell is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) group. The UE may set a DRX state for the SCell based at least in part on determining a DRX state of other SCells in the DRX group or determining that there are no existing SCells in the DRX group. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims24
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
- determine that a secondary cell (SCell) is to be activated for the UE or switched from a dormant state to an active state, wherein the SCell is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) group;
- and
- set a DRX state for the SCell based at least in part on determining a DRX state of other SCells in the DRX group or determining that there are no existing SCells in the DRX group.
A base station for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
- determine that a secondary cell (SCell) to be activated by a user equipment (UE) is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) group or switched from a dormant state to an active state;
- and
- transmit an instruction to the UE to set a DRX state for the SCell based at least in part on determining a DRX state of other SCells in the DRX group or determining that there are no existing SCells in the DRX group.
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- determining that a secondary cell (SCell) is to be activated for the UE or switched from a dormant state to an active state, wherein the SCell is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) group;
- and
- setting a DRX state for the SCell based at least in part on determining a DRX state of other SCells in the DRX group or determining that there are no existing SCells in the DRX group.
A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:
- determining that a secondary cell (SCell) to be activated by a user equipment (UE) is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) group or switched from a dormant state to an active state;
- and
- transmitting an instruction to the UE to set a DRX state for the SCell based at least in part on determining a DRX state of other SCells in the DRX group or determining that there are no existing SCells in the DRX group.
