REPLY-CONTROLLED DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method, receiving device, network element, system and computer program product for controlling discontinuous reception at a receiving device of a communication network, wherein a regular discontinuous reception cycle of a discontinuous reception scheme is set, and this regular discontinuous reception cycle is switched to a shorter temporary discontinuous reception cycle or is switched off, in response to an event which triggers a reply of the communication network to the receiving device (10). Thereby, delays of network replies can be shortened or controlled in case DRX cycles are implemented at the receiving device (10).
