Drx based ue behavior

A base station (BS), comprising:

• at least one antenna;
• at least one radio coupled to the at least one antenna;
• and
• a processor coupled to the at least one radio;
• wherein the BS is configured to perform operations comprising:
• determining there is at least one LEO cell of a serving cell provided by the BS and a neighbor cell;
• determining a first DRX cycle based on a DRX cycle threshold, wherein the DRX cycle threshold is a highest value of DRX cycle that can support LEO cell measurement;
• and
• sending the first DRX cycle to a UE, wherein the first DRX cycle is used by the UE to determine a second DRX cycle to be applied to measurement of the at least one LEO cell.

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a base station of a serving cell, there is at least one LEO cell of the serving cell and a neighbor cell;
• determining a first DRX cycle based on a DRX cycle threshold, wherein the DRX cycle threshold is a highest value of DRX cycle that can support LEO cell measurement;
• and
• sending the first DRX cycle to a user equipment (UE), wherein the first DRX cycle is used by the UE to determine a second DRX cycle to be applied to measurement of the at least one LEO cell.
