Abstract
Techniques for performing radio link measurements while a wireless device is operating in an extended DRX mode are disclosed. An example method, implemented by a wireless device in a wireless communication network, comprises waking up (510) in advance of a scheduled DRX on-time, and outside of any other scheduled DRX on-time, for at least one measurement interval, performing (520) radio link measurements during the at least one measurement interval, and determining (530) whether the wireless device is in an in-synch or out-of-synch status. In some embodiments, the in-synch or out-of-synch status and/or a radio-link failure are selectively reported to upper layers of the mobile terminal's protocol stack, e.g., to an RRC layer.
