Abstract

A method performed by a radio communication device for discontinuous reception, DRX, of data from a radio network node is disclosed. When information, indicating that data is scheduled to the radio communication device in a DRX cycle, is received (102, 104(Y)) during an initial part of a DRX cycle, a receiver of the radio communication device is activated (110) at the time data is received and deactivated (110) when data is not received. When information is not received (104(N)) or when the information indicates that no data is scheduled (108(N)) during a remaining part of the DRX cycle, the receiver is kept (106) deactivated. A method performed by the radio network node for enabling DRX of data by the radio communication device is disclosed, as well as the radio communication device and the radio network node. Micro sleep during single time slices, such as time slots, is enabled.
