Abstract:
A 3GPP LTE protocol enhancement realizes the full benefit of discontinuous reception (DRX) in Long Term Evolution networks by coordinating and aligning DRX operations for conserving power and timing overhead. A dual connectivity enabled User Equipment (UE) comprising a processor and transceiver is configured to align DRX configuration between counterpart Evolved Node Bs (eNB)s, wherein counterpart eNBs are a Master eNB (MeNB) and a Secondary eNB (SeNB) simultaneously connected to the UE, communicate system frame timing and system frame number (SFN) information between the counterpart eNBs, align DRX start offset (drxStartOffset) values for the counterpart eNBs according to the communicated system frame timing and SFN information to compensate for offsets in system frame timing, and allow the start of a DRX ON duration at specific frame or sub-frame times determined by the drxStartOffset values, after the expiration of a DRX inactivity timer.

Claim (Index 19):
An apparatus of user equipment (UE) configurable for dual connectivity, the apparatus comprising:\n means for decoding radio-resource control (RRC) signaling received from a master enhanced node B (MeNB) associated with a master cell group (MCG), the RRC signaling to configure the UE with a secondary cell group (SCG) for dual connectivity to utilize radio resources of both the MCG and the SCG, the SCG associated with a secondary eNB (SeNB); means for signaling a system frame number (SFN) and a subframe offset to the MeNB, the SFN and subframe offset associated with the SeNB; means for decoding a first medium-access control (MAC) configuration element received for the MCG and a second MAC configuration element for the SCG, the MAC configuration elements to configure the UE for discontinuous reception (DRX) operations for each cell group, wherein the first MAC configuration element includes DRX configuration information for the MCG, and wherein the second MAC configuration element includes DRX configuration information for the SCG; moans for configuring uplink data for transmission to the MeNB on radio resources of the MCG; and means for configure uplink data for transmission to the SeNB on radio resources of the SCG.
