Claim 13:
14. A wireless communications device configured to operate according to a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration and configured to receive, from a wireless communications network, two-step grants for uplink transmissions, the device comprising:
transceiver circuitry configured for communication with the network; and
processing circuitry operatively associated with the transceiver circuitry and configured to:
determine, while in a first DRX state, whether the device has received a first trigger of a two-step grant;
cause the device to remain in the first DRX state in which the device listens on a physical downlink control channel for messages from the network to allow reception of a second trigger of the two-step grant, in response to
determining that the device has received the first trigger;
determine whether the device has received a second trigger of the two-step grant; and
in response to determining that the device has received the second trigger, exit the state.
