Managing sleep cycles in a wireless communications system

Abstract:

A control entity in a wireless communications system obtains discontinuous reception information for a plurality of wireless terminals and configures one or more of said wireless terminals, based on the obtained discontinuous reception information, to harmonise the awake periods of the plurality of wireless terminals. The control entity determines a common reception period for the plurality of wireless terminals such that a broadcast or multicast transmission during the common reception period is received simultaneously by the wireless terminals.
