Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 16:
17. A user equipment in a communication network, the user equipment comprising:
a transceiver that receives a discontinuous reception configuration, and receives a configuration of a physical downlink control channel carrying a power saving downlink control information format, wherein the configuration includes an offset value with respect to a starting time of a discontinuous reception cycle of the discontinuous reception configuration; and
a controller, coupled to the transceiver, that detects the power saving downlink control information format at one of one or more monitoring occasions of the physical downlink control channel carrying the power saving downlink control information format, and determines whether to start a drx-onDurationTimer in a following discontinuous reception cycle of the discontinuous reception configuration based on a wake-up indication of the power saving downlink control information format; and
wherein the one or more monitoring occasions is determined, based upon the offset value, the starting time of the discontinuous reception cycle, and at least one search space configuration of the physical downlink control channel carrying the power saving downlink control information format.
