Original Abstract Submitted
A method is disclosed, performed by a first wireless device (WD), for handling sidelink communication with one or more second WDs comprised in a sidelink group with the first WD. The method comprises receiving, from a wireless node, information indicative of a reference Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle determined by a network node, wherein 5 the reference DRX cycle enables WDs residing in the communication area for sidelink communication to align their DRX cycles. The method comprises obtaining a sidelink DRX cycle which is aligned with the reference DRX cycle. The method comprises communicating, with the one or more second WDs, in DRX occasions of the obtained sidelink DRX cycle.
