Abstract
Abstract A method for running a DRX (Discontinuous Reception) cycle at a user equipment in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes steps of receiving configuration information for a long DRX cycle and a short DRX cycle; receiving at least one data unit including one or more DRX command MAC (medium access control) CEs (control elements) in a predetermined period; and running one of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle according to a total number of DRX command MAC CEs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A method for running a DRX (Discontinuous Reception) cycle at a UE (user equipment) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, by the UE, configuration information for a long DRX cycle and a short DRX cycle from an eNB (eNode B); receiving, by the UE, at least one data unit including one or more DRX command MAC (medium access control) CEs (control elements) in a predetermined period from the eNB; running, by the UE, one of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle according to a total number of DRX command MAC CEs; and selectively monitoring, by the UE, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on the running one of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle, wherein the running one of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle comprises not monitoring the PDCCH during the running of the short DRX cycle if the total number of DRX command MAC CEs is a first value.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
164 words
A method for running a DRX (Discontinuous Reception) cycle at a UE (user equipment) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, by the UE, configuration information for a long DRX cycle and a short DRX cycle from an eNB (eNode B); receiving, by the UE, at least one data unit including one or more DRX command MAC (medium access control) CEs (control elements) in a predetermined period from the eNB; running, by the UE, one of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle according to a total number of DRX command MAC CEs; and selectively monitoring, by the UE, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on the running one of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle, wherein the running one of the long DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle comprises not monitoring the PDCCH during the running of the short DRX cycle if the total number of DRX command MAC CEs is a first value.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined period indicates one subframe or one TTI (transmission time interval).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined period indicates multiple subframes or multiple TTIs (transmission time intervals).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein the running one of the long, DRX cycle and the short DRX cycle comprises not monitoring the PDCCH during the running of the long DRX cycle if the total number of DRX command MAC CEs is a second value.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 4 , wherein the second value is an integer greater than 1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one data unit comprises multiple data units.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein: the receiving configuration information comprises running the short DRX cycle, and the predetermined period is the short DRX cycle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 1 , further comprising: stopping, by the UE, the short DRX cycle if the total number of DRX command MAC CEs is an integer greater than 1.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein the first value is 1.
