Claim 24:
25. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a processor of a user equipment (UE); and
memory coupled with the processor, the memory and the processor configured to:
receive configuration information for a sidelink discontinuous reception mode that corresponds to one or more active durations shared by a group of UEs that includes the UE and one or more inactive durations shared by the group of UEs, wherein the configuration information indicates a duration of a timer;
transmit or receive, to or from another UE of the group of UEs, a sidelink communication during an active duration of the one or more active durations;
initiate the timer based at least in part on transmitting or receiving the sidelink communication during the active duration;
monitor a sidelink channel associated with the group of UEs after initiating the timer and for a time period based at least in part on the duration of the timer;
pause or terminate the timer based at least in part on a value of the timer, at a beginning of a first inactive duration of the one or more inactive durations, being less than the duration of the timer; and
refrain from monitoring the sidelink channel during the first inactive duration.
