Abstract: Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for intelligent power saving in a wireless communication system. For example, a user equipment (UE) is configured to determine whether a movement state associated with the UE satisfies one or more movement conditions. The UE can further determine operational information associated with the UE, in response to the determination that the movement state associated with the UE satisfies the one or more movement conditions. The operational information can include location information, power level information, or background process information. The UE can further cease, at least based on the operational information and one or more operational conditions being satisfied, a signal measurement associated with a neighbor cell.

Abstract: A wireless communication system may adapt physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring behaviors using downlink control information (DCI). The change in monitoring behavior may be skipping or switching. The timeline for applying switching or skipping may be applied after a reference point and a processing time. In some embodiments, the processing time may be either based on UE processing, network processing, or a combination.
