Abstract

A device may determine traffic information of a user equipment (UE) operating in a first operating mode. The first operating mode may be associated with the UE monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), via a first bandwidth part (BWP), according to a first rate. The device may determine, based on the traffic information, that the UE is to operate in a different operating mode including one of: a second operating mode associated with monitoring the PDCCH, via the first BWP, according to a second rate exceeding the first rate, a third operating mode associated with monitoring the PDCCH, via a second BWP less than the first BWP, according to the second rate, or a fourth operating mode associated with monitoring the PDCCH, via the second BWP, according to the first rate. The device may cause the UE to transition to the different operating mode.
