Abstract
The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for reducing battery consumption at a user equipment (UE). For example, the method may include configuring a 10 ms transmission mode on an uplink (UL) channel at the UE, indicating configuration of the 10 ms transmission mode to a base station in communication with the UE, compressing a 20 ms transmission associated with a 20 ms transmission time interval (TTI) into a 10 ms compressed transmission, transmitting the 10 ms compressed transmission during a first 10 ms of the 20 ms TTI, and performing a discontinuous transmission (DTX) of the UL channel during a second 10 ms of the 20 ms TTI. As such, reduced battery consumption at a UE may be achieved.
