Abstract

Connected-mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) cycle scaling by a wireless user equipment (UE) device. The UE may establish a connection with a network via a wireless link, which may operate according to LTE. The UE may communicate with the network via the wireless link using C-DRX over a plurality of C-DRX cycles. Each C-DRX cycle may include a period of time during which the UE operates in a reduced-power state and a scheduled on-duration period of time. An indication may be received to remain in the reduced-power state during the scheduled on-duration period of time of at least one C-DRX cycle. The UE may remain in the reduced-power state during the scheduled on-duration period of time of at least one C-DRX cycle in response to the indication.
