Abstract
At least one feature pertains to a method of communication that comprises aligning a measurement task that utilizes a resource within a user equipment, such that at least a portion of the measurement task is performed during a time that the resource is enabled in the user equipment, and executing the measurement task during the time that the resource is enabled in the user equipment. In one example, the measurement task may be a searcher task, the resource may comprise receiver circuitry, and the time that the resource is enabled corresponds to a DRX monitoring interval of a downlink channel, such as a high speed shared control channel. By aligning and executing the searcher task during the time that the resource is enabled in the user equipment, searcher overhead may be reduced. Reducing searcher overhead allows the user equipment to save power by disabling the receiver circuitry.
