Joint resource allocation for ue power savings in jcs

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
• receive, from a network node, an indication of a sensing pattern configuration, wherein the sensing pattern configuration is associated with a sensing resource and includes an offset window, wherein the sensing pattern configuration is further associated with (1) a first association of a first discontinuous reception (DRX) pattern of the network node with a second DRX pattern of the UE, or (2) a second association of the first DRX pattern of the network node with data communications;
• and
• activate the sensing resource at an activation time for a sensing occasion after a start of the offset window, wherein the offset window corresponds to at least one of (1) a first end of an active duration at the UE prior to a first start of a next sensing occasion, (2) a second start of the active duration at the UE after a prior sensing occasion, or (3) a data communication.
