Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus for controlling Discontinuous Reception (DRX) by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The UE receives a DRX configuration parameter from an evolved Node B (eNB), and determines whether to start an on-duration timer based on the DRX configuration parameter, after a change in DRX cycle is completed in a subframe, thereby preventing system performance degradation caused by transmission mismatch between the eNB and the UE.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling Discontinuous Reception (DRX) by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving a DRX configuration including a short DRX cycle and a long DRX cycle from an evolved Node B (eNB); and determining whether a DRX cycle is the short DRX cycle or the long DRX cycle in a subframe; and after the determination of the DRX cycle of the subframe, determining whether to start an on-duration timer in…
