Claim 0:
1. A method implemented by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message, wherein the received RRC message includes configuration information for an RRC dormant mode for the cell, wherein during the RRC configured dormant mode the WTRU will cease monitoring for transmissions on the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);
receiving a first downlink control information (DCI) signal indicating to enable the RRC configured dormant mode, wherein the RRC configured dormant mode is different from a DRX cycle, wherein at least one bit of the first DCI is for enabling RRC configured dormant mode;
transmitting channel quality indicators (CQIs) for the cell, while the WTRU is in the RRC configured dormant mode; and
receiving a second DCI signal indicating to disable the RRC configured dormant mode, wherein receiving the first or second DCI signaling is performed while the WTRU is in an RRC Connected mode.
