Abstract:
1. A method for controlling discontinuous reception (DRX) in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising: the WTRU receiving a DRX configuration comprising a plurality of DRX cycle lengths; the WTRU performing DRX using a shorter DRX cycle length of the plurality of DRX cycle lengths; the WTRU setting a WTRU timer upon initiating DRX operation using the shorter DRX cycle length, wherein the WTRU timer is associated with a length of time during which the WTRU performs DRX using the shorter DRX cycle length prior to transitioning to a longer DRX cycle length of the plurality of DRX cycle lengths; the WTRU determining that the WTRU timer has expired; and the WTRU transitioning from DRX operation using the shorter DRX cycle length to DRX operation using the longer DRX cycle length in response to determining that the WTRU timer has expired.
