Patent ID: 11224089

Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) is configured to connect to a primary cell serving a primary component carrier (PCC) in the licensed spectrum and a secondary cell serving a secondary component carrier (SCC) in an unlicensed spectrum. The UE is configured with a Connected Discontinuous Reception (C-DRX) functionality including an onDuration. The UE determines a first duration based on an amount of time between when a first operation related to an exchange of data over the SCC is to be performed and when the exchange of data over the SCC is likely to occur, determines whether the exchange of data over the SCC is likely to occur during the onDuration based on the first duration and when the exchange of data is unlikely to occur during the onDuration, delays when the first operation is to be performed to cause the exchange of data over the SCC to occur during the onDuration.
