Claim:
1. A method for enhanced DL-UL (Downlink-Uplink) interference management and traffic adaptation (eIMTA), comprising: a UE (User Equipment) is connected with an eNB (evolved Node B), and is configured with a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation and an eIMTA operation; the UE monitors Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a subframe for a potential scheduling from the eNB when a DRX timer associated with the DRX operation is running, and the UE increments the running DRX timer by one; and the UE monitors PDCCH in the subframe when the DRX timer is running, and does not increment the DRX timer by one when the subframe is a DL subframe as indicated by an explicit signaling associated with the eIMTA operation.
