Conditional device paging in discontinuous reception (drx)

Abstract

Various techniques are provided for a method including broadcasting, by a network node, a discontinuous reception (DRX) switch message indicating a user equipment (UE) is to switch from a first DRX cycle to a second DRX cycle and determining, by the network node, whether to send a paging message to the UE using one of the first DRX cycle or the second DRX cycle. The method can further include determining, by the network node, that the network node is in a reduced resource state.
