User Equipment with Improved DRX Performance

摘要

Operating a UE device having a single radio configured to communicate using a first and second RAT. The UE may begin operating in a connected discontinuous reception (CDRX) mode of the first RAT, where the CDRX mode comprises an on duration timer and an inactivity timer. The method may determine that the single radio of the UE is being used for a second RAT during the CDRX mode. The UE may operate at least one of a CDRX on duration timer or an inactivity timer of the first RAT while the single radio of the UE is being used for the second RAT. While the single radio of the UE is being used for the second RAT, the at least one of the CDRX on duration timer or the inactivity timer may operate even though no communication or monitoring is performed on the first RAT.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processing element, wherein the processing element is configured to operate with a first radio of a user equipment (UE), wherein the first radio is configured to perform communication using a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, wherein the processing element and the first radio are configured to:
operate in a connected discontinuous reception (CDRX) mode of the first RAT, wherein the CDRX mode comprises an on duration timer and an inactivity timer;determine that the first radio of the UE is being used for the second RAT instead of the first RAT during the CDRX mode;operate at least one of a CDRX on duration timer or an inactivity timer of the first RAT while the first radio of the UE is being used for the second RAT, wherein, while the first radio of the UE is being used for the second RAT, the at least one of the CDRX on duration timer or the inactivity timer operates even though no communication or monitoring is performed by the first radio on the first RAT.
