The operations include transmitting an offload request to the network node, wherein the offload request comprises a size of an expected response and a latest receipt time. The operations include determining a wakeup time that is earlier than the latest receipt time. The operations include entering a power-saving mode until the wakeup time. The operations include exiting the power-saving mode at the wakeup time. The operations include monitoring a communication channel for the expected response from the network node until the latest receipt time. Also disclosed are a UE and a method.
