APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (DRX) AND LONG TIMESCALE DISCONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION (LDTX) IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method of performing discontinuous reception (DRX) and long timescale discontinuous transmission (LDTX) in a wireless communications system. An access terminal (AT) includes a communications interface configured to receive a forward link (FL) transmission from a network, wherein the FL transmission includes a plurality of frames each including at least two half slots. The AT further includes a computer-readable medium with instructions and a processing circuit coupled to the communications interface and the computer-readable medium. The AT is configured to enable a LDTX mode including an LDTX on period and an LDTX off period. In the LDTX off period, the AT autonomously enables a DRX mode in at least a portion of a half slot based on data contained in the half slot.

主权项

1. A method of wireless communication operable at an access terminal (AT), comprising:
receiving a forward link (FL) transmission from a network, wherein the FL transmission comprises a plurality of frames each comprising at least two half slots; enabling a long timescale discontinuous transmission (LDTX) mode comprising an LDTX on period and an LDTX off period; and in the LDTX off period, autonomously enabling a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode in at least a portion of a half slot of the at least two half slots based on data contained in the half slot.
