Abstract:
1. User equipment (UE) comprising: a module to determine a value for a discontinuous reception (DRX) parameter based at least in part on information associated with an application when the application is running on the UE, the information including traffic pattern of packets associated with the application, the traffic pattern indicating whether the application generates background traffic packets and the information indicating delay requirements for the application, the DRX parameter including one of an on-duration of a DRX cycle, a DRX cycle length, an inactivity DRX timer, and radio resource control (RRC) inactivity timer; and a transmitter to send a message to an enhanced node-B (eNB), the message including at least one of the value for the DRX parameter and the information associated with the application, wherein the module is arranged to cause the UE to enter a DRX mode using DRX parameters having values determined by the eNB, wherein at least one of the values is based at least in part on the information associated with the application, and the module is arranged to cause the UE to stay in the DRX mode and refrain from entering radio resource control (RRC) idle state based on the traffic pattern of packets associated with the application, and wherein a value for an RRC inactivity timer for entering RRC idle state is greater than a periodicity of keep-alive messages associated with the application.
