Abstract
A method is provided that includes receiving a configuration of parameters for discontinuous reception (DRX) operation in which a user equipment monitors a downlink channel. The parameters include at least one timer that specifies a duration in which the user equipment is to be in an active state to monitor the downlink channel. The method includes detecting particular channel activity. The particular channel activity marks a beginning of a window during which the at least one timer is to run for the duration specified by the at least one timer. The method includes determining a proximity of the window to a next active time of the discontinuous active times. The method includes reducing the duration of the at least one timer, and thereby the window during which the at least one timer is to run, based on the proximity of the window to the next active time.
