Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support enhanced power saving mode (PSM) for an active time duration of a PSM with extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) configuration in a wireless communication system. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) is configured to enter a deep sleep mode during inactive times of a PSM, and to operate in eDRX mode during the active times of the PSM. Operating in eDRX mode during the active times includes dividing each of the active time durations into at least one eDRX idle period and at least one eDRX paging period. The UE determines whether a set of criteria for implementing a variant of the PSM is met, and when the set of criteria is met, the UE implements the variant of the PSM, which includes powering down the UE to a deep sleep mode at least during eDRX idle periods.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration that identifies one or more narrowband channels in which the UE is to receive one or more physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) repetitions of a paging message associated with a discontinuous reception procedure. The UE may receive, in an online mode of the UE, one or more machine-type communication physical downlink control channel (MPDCCH) repetitions of control information. The UE may receive, in the online mode of the UE, the one or more PDSCH repetitions in the one or more narrowband channels identified by the configuration. The UE may process, in an offline mode of the UE, the one or more MPDCCH repetitions and the one or more PDSCH repetitions. Numerous other aspects are provided.
