Abstract

A method and apparatus for changing Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle in a wireless communication system is provided. A wireless device configures a short DRX cycle and a long DRX cycle. When a drx-ShortCycle timer expires, it is determined whether a drxInactivityTimer is run or not. Therefore, the wireless device uses one of the short DRX cycle and the long DRX cycle according to the determination. Discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle can be configured flexibly and a CSI report between the UE and the eNB can be complied with accurately.
