Abstract

A method and an apparatus that includes establishing a link (106) between a first node (102) and a second node (104) in a wireless communication network (100). The method continues by setting a discontinuous receive (DRX) transmission mode cycle for the link wherein the DRX cycle includes an on duration (202) followed by an off cycle (204). The duration of the on duration on a downlink is adjusted (610) based on a function of the availability of a channel quality indicator (CQI) channel used on the link.
