  • Publication number: 20250063626
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device may receive first control signaling indicating a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration associated with a set of DRX cycles. The communication device may receive second control signaling during a first inactive duration and before a first active duration associated with a first DRX cycle of the set of DRX cycles. The second control signaling may indicate pending data for the communication device. Additionally or alternatively, the second control signaling may include a request for feedback from the communication device. The feedback may indicate a capability for the communication device to receive the pending data during the first active duration, and an energy level of a power source associated with the communication device. The communication device may thereby receive the pending data based in part on the feedback from the communication device.

  • Patent number: 12207267
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may indicate a dormancy status, such as dormant or non-dormant, for each of one or more control channel resources configured for a user equipment (UE) via a dormancy indication in downlink control information (DCI). The dormancy indication may include a set of bits, each bit indicating a dormancy status for a control channel resource or a group of control channel resources. The UE, based on determining the value of each bit of the set of bits, may determine the dormancy status of each of the one or more control channel resources and may monitor the control channel resources accordingly. For example, the UE may monitor control channel resources having a dormancy status of non-dormant and may refrain from monitoring control channel resources having a dormancy status of dormant.
