Sdt handling with cell dtx/drx enabled

Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for enhancement on cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) operation and discontinuous reception (DRX) operation. In the context of a method, the method includes receiving, from a network node, paging information which contains cell discontinuous operation information, wherein the paging information indicates to the user equipment when to transmit a response message based on the cell discontinuous operation information. The method further includes transmitting, to the network node, the response message using a small data transmission (SDT) procedure based at least on the paging information.
