CONNECTED MODE DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (C-DRX) ON/OFF SYNCHRONIZATION COORDINATION BETWEEN USER EQUIPMENT AND NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18045428 titled 'CONNECTED MODE DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (C-DRX) ON/OFF SYNCHRONIZATION COORDINATION BETWEEN USER EQUIPMENT AND NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) on/off synchronization coordination between user equipment and network entities.
- User equipment (UE) can transmit a UE capability message indicating support for C-DRX on/off synchronization coordination with the network entity.
- The UE receives a DRX synchronization coordination configuration based on the UE capability message, configuring the UE with C-DRX on/off synchronization coordination with the network entity.
- The UE can determine when an inactivity timer associated with the DRX synchronization coordination configuration is about to expire and transmit special uplink signaling to transition into an off duration in a DRX cycle.

Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) on/off synchronization coordination between user equipment and network are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a UE capability message that indicates that the UE has capability to support C-DRX on/off synchronization coordination with the network entity. The UE may receive a DRX synchronization coordination configuration based on the UE capability message, the DRX synchronization coordination configuration configuring the UE with the C-DRX on/off synchronization coordination with the network entity. The UE may determine that an inactivity timer associated with the DRX synchronization coordination configuration is within a threshold time to expire, and transmit special uplink signaling indicating that the UE intends to transition into an off duration in a DRX cycle based on the inactivity timer being within the threshold time to expire.
