Abstract
A user device, UE, for a wireless communication system is described. The wireless communication system includes a plurality of user devices, UEs. The UE receives a transmission from one or more further UEs over a sidelink, SL. The UE operates in a Discontinuous Reception, DRX, mode. The UE is to enter an inactive mode or sleep mode if a certain criterion is met.
