Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for reducing resource contention between two or more RATs supported by a User Equipment (UE). The UE may determine a first level of contention between Radio Frequency (RF) resources to be used by two or more Radio Access Technologies (RATs) supported by the UE over a given period of time for performing at least one type of receive activity, based at least on assigned Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycles for the RATs. The UE may decide to initiate an update of a DRX cycle for at least one of the RATs to reduce the contention, at least if the determined first level is greater than a given threshold level of the contention over the given period of time.
