There is provided a method of determining a reception suspension period (222) for a user equipment (12, 14, 16, 18) in compressed mode during high speed downlink packet access activity, the method including: identifying a transmission gap (202) in a downlink transmission from a base station (10); mapping the transmission gap (202) onto a first channel to thereby define a first suspension period encompassing the subframes of the first channel that overlap the transmission gap (202); expanding the first suspension period to thereby define a further period that encompasses the subframes of at least one further channel that overlap the first suspension period; and defining a reception suspension period (222) encompassing the further period, and subframes associated with the subframes falling within the further period. |
