Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that may allow a UE to receive and process downlink control information (DCI) that indicates dormancy behavior for one or more secondary cells when the UE does not have a CDRX mode configuration.

A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE), the UE receives an indication from a base station, wherein the indication is indicative of monitoring a power saving signal in one or more monitoring occasions and at least one monitoring occasion of the one or more monitoring occasions is associated with a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) ON duration and is within Active Time associated with the UE. The UE does not monitor and/or skips monitoring the power saving signal in the at least one monitoring occasion. The UE monitors Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) during the DRX ON duration.

A method for supporting Sidelink (SL) Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation is provided. A User Equipment (UE) maintains SL DRX configuration which includes one of a transmission pattern and a reception pattern that the UE expects to perform transmission and reception to a peer UE. The UE exchanges the SL DRX configuration with the peer UE. Based on the exchange of the SL DRX configuration, the UE determines when to perform transmission or reception to or from the peer UE during an SL DRX operation. Based on the determination, the UE performs transmission or reception to or from the peer UE during the SL DRX operation.

A network access method and a terminal are provided. The network access method performed by the terminal includes receiving a reference signal transmitted by a network-side device. The reference signal includes a first reference signal, or includes a first reference signal and a second reference signal. The first reference signal is an Single-Frequency Network (SFN)-specific reference signal, or the second reference signal is a cell or Transmission Reception Point (cell/TRP)-specific reference signal. The network access method further includes performing an initial access-related operation based on the received reference signal.

A method for power saving, comprising: establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a wireless device, transmitting, to the wireless device, configuration information indicating a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle time, a DRX on time period, and an offset time, transmitting an enhanced wake-up signal (EWUS) monitoring occasion for a DRX cycle, the EWUS monitoring occasion based on the offset time and the DRX on time period, determining that the wireless device can skip monitoring one or more future EWUS monitoring occasions, transmitting, during a first DRX cycle, a EWUS for the wireless device during the EWUS monitoring occasion associated with the first DRX cycle, the EWUS indicating that the wireless device can skip the one or more future EWUS monitoring occasions, and skipping transmitting the EWUS to the wireless device during the one or more future EWUS monitoring occasions.

A technique for power saving for a wireless device, the technique including determining, by a first wireless device, a set of resources for communicating directly with a second wireless device the set of resources including a first set of paging resources, establishing a sidelink session with the second wireless device based on the set of resources, entering, by the first wireless device, a reduced power state, monitoring, by the first wireless device and based on the paging schedule, the first set of paging resources, receiving, from the second wireless device, a paging message, exiting the reduced power state based on the received paging message, and monitoring, based on the received paging message, the set of resources.

An access point (AP) transmits a first frame comprising: a Target Wake Time (TWT) element indicating a restricted Target Wake Time (r-TWT) Service Period (SP) of an r-TWT setup for one or more first stations (STAs); and a quiet element indicating a quiet interval for one or more second STAs, the quiet interval overlapping with a portion of the r-TWT SP. Based on determining termination of the r-TWT SP during the quiet interval, the AP transmits a second frame, during the quiet interval, indicating termination of the quiet interval for the one or more second STAs.

A method for operating a multi-link station and an access point being configured for communicating with each other, wherein the method comprises transmitting a power management indicator between the multi-link station and the access point over a first communication link, the power management indicator being indicative of a power management state of a second communication link.

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for dynamic postponement of periodic resources and DRX active times. A first UE and a second UE may receive, from a base station, an allocation of periodic resources for reception of downlink traffic and relayed downlink traffic over sidelink. The first UE and the second UE may also receive respective postponement indications for reception occasions of the periodic resources and may monitor for the downlink traffic and the relayed downlink traffic at time adjusted instances in response to the respective postponement indications. A base station may send the downlink traffic to the first UE, which may relay the downlink traffic to the second UE, at the time adjusted instances in response to the postponement indications.

The methods, devices, and systems discussed herein involve a mobile wireless communication device (WCD) receiving a first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle configuration from a network. In some examples, the first DRX cycle configuration is a U E-specific DRX cycle configuration. In other examples, the first DRX cycle configuration is a default DRX cycle configuration. The WCD also receives a second DRX cycle configuration that is different from the first DRX cycle configuration from the network. In some examples, the second DRX cycle configuration is compatible with a sidelink DRX cycle configuration of a D2D-capable device. Upon entering a first area that is near a potential safety scenario, such as an intersection, the WCD receives a signal containing an indicator. In response to receiving the signal, the WCD utilizes the second DRX cycle configuration to detect one or more device-to-device (D2D) transmissions from a D2D-capable device.
