Techniques for radio access and sidelink discontinuous reception alignment

A method of wireless communication performed by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a network node, a first discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration for a radio access link between the first UE and the network node;
• receiving, from a second UE associated with a sidelink connection with the first UE, at least part of a sidelink DRX configuration for the sidelink connection;
• transmitting, to the network node, information indicating at least part of the sidelink DRX configuration;
• and
• communicating in accordance with the sidelink DRX configuration or the first DRX configuration.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
• receive, from a network node, a first discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration for a radio access link between the first UE and the network node;
• receive, from a second UE associated with a sidelink connection with the first UE, at least part of a sidelink DRX configuration for the sidelink connection;
• transmit, to the network node, information indicating at least part of the sidelink DRX configuration;
• and
• communicate in accordance with the sidelink DRX configuration or the first DRX configuration.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving, from a network node, a first discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration for a radio access link between the apparatus and the network node;
• means for receiving, from a second user equipment (UE) associated with a sidelink connection with the apparatus, at least part of a sidelink DRX configuration for the sidelink connection;
• means for transmitting, to the network node, information indicating at least part of the sidelink DRX configuration;
• and
• means for communicating in accordance with the sidelink DRX configuration or the first DRX configuration.
