Reference signal and channel state information processing outside a discontinuous reception active time

A first network entity for wireless communication, the first network entity comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• operate according to a connected discontinuous reception (DRX) mode based on a wakeup signal (WUS), wherein the connected DRX mode includes a DRX active time and a DRX inactive time;
• send, to a second network entity, capability information of the first network entity to process, during the DRX inactive time, reference signal information, wherein the reference signal information includes one or more of:
• a reference signal or a reference signal report;
• receive, from the second network entity, a configuration based on the capability information, wherein the configuration specifies how the first network entity is to process the reference signal information during the DRX inactive time;
• and
• process the reference signal information during the DRX inactive time in accordance with the configuration.
