Method and related communications device for improving discontinuous reception functionality

摘要

A method of improving discontinuous reception (DRX) functionality for a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system is disclosed, so as to allow continuous reception of following transmissions during a retransmission period. The method includes steps of monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) when an On Duration Timer, a DRX Inactivity Timer or a DRX Retransmission Timer is running; and starting or restating the DRX Inactivity Timer when the PDCCH indicates the UE a new transmission.

1. A method of improving discontinuous reception (DRX) functionality for a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH); starting or restarting the DRX Inactivity Timer when the PDCCH indicates the UE a new transmission and DRX Retransmission Timer is running and both an On Duration Timer and a DRX Inactivity Timer are not running; and starting the DRX Retransmission Timer to monitor the PDCCH for detecting the retransmission of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) process when a HARQ Round-Trip Time (RTT) Timer expires.
