Claim 12:
13. A network node for enabling scheduling of a User Equipment (UE) configured with Discontinuous reception (DRX) and semipersistent scheduling (SPS), said network node comprising;
a processing circuitry; and
a memory comprising instructions which, when executed on the processing circuitry, cause the network node to:
receive an Uplink (UL) transmission from the UE in recurring Transmission Time Intervals (TTIs), short TTIs, slots, or sub-slots of the SPS; and
transmit a HARQ response to the UL transmission and, within a same occasion, transmit an UL grant or a Downlink (DL) assignment to the UE, provided there is no upcoming preconfigured DRX On-Duration period within a specified time limit, wherein the UL grant or the DL assignment, when transmitted, triggers a drx-Inactivity timer to run, and while the drx-Inactivity timer is running the UE stays in DRX active mode.
