APPLICATION INFORMATION AIDED FAST DORMANCY

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) operating in a connected mode may identify application usage information or UE operation information and may determine a preference to transition to an idle or inactive mode. Additionally, the UE may determine requested values for a set of parameters for a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) state of the UE. For example, the UE may predict a period of inactivity or determine the requested values based on a traffic profile, activity mode, or historical data. The UE may transmit, to a base station, an indication of the preference or an indication of the requested value. In response, the base station may instruct the UE to transition from the connected mode to the inactive or idle mode, or may transmit an indication of configured values for the set of parameters for the C-DRX state for the UE.
