Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards network resource allocation for energy constrained devices. Energy constrained devices can use shortened discontinuous reception (DRX) intervals to reduce their energy consumption. In order to provide adequate quality of service (QoS) to energy constrained devices using shortened DRX intervals, a network controller can use the disclosed techniques to greedily allocate available transmission time slots to devices using shortened DRX intervals. The network controller can also apply the disclosed techniques to balance demands of other devices by allocating some transmission time slots to the other devices.
