Method and apparatus for providing discontinuous reception (DRX)

摘要

Providing discontinuous reception (DRX) is disclosed. In DRX mode a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may periodically wake up, in relation to a DRX interval, to check for a paging message. The WTRU may reenter the DRX mode if there is no paging message. The WTRU may receive another specified DRX interval, in connection with a broadcast message, based on the activity of the WTRU. The another DRX interval may be increased as inactivity of the WTRU increases.

1. A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving, by the WTRU, discontinuous reception (DRX) control information indicating a predetermined time interval that the WTRU checks a physical downlink control channel for an identifier associated with the WTRU; entering, by the WTRU, a DRX mode such that the WTRU periodically wakes up according to the predetermined time interval to check for a paging message and wherein the WTRU reenters the DRX mode based at least in part on there being no paging message associated with the WTRU; monitoring, by the WTRU, activity of the WTRU; and increasing, by the WTRU, the DRX interval as inactivity of the WTRU increases.
