INACTIVITY TIMER MECHANISMS IN DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for operating user equipment (UE) in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, and more specifically, setting a DRX inactivity timer value. An example method for operating a user equipment in a discontinuous reception mode including an active mode for communicating with a network and an inactive mode when the user equipment does not communicate with the network includes determining a trigger condition based on a communication with the network, determining the inactivity timer value based on the trigger condition, and operating the user equipment in the active mode during a duration of the inactivity timer value and in the inactive mode after the duration of the inactivity timer value.
