  • Publication number: 20260197815
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described, including for extended reality (XR) communications. XR devices may implement perception algorithms, which may include depth map generation, image segmentation, 3D reconstruction, and/or object tracking. Perception algorithms may involve complex and power-intensive operations, and thus may be offloaded from a user equipment (UE) to a remote device such as a server. The network entity may configure a discontinuous reception (DRX) pattern for the UE during which the UE cycles between monitoring for downlink transmissions and not monitoring for downlink transmissions. The network entity may obtain XR perception-type traffic information that indicates the uplink periodicity and the uplink to downlink offset for XR perception-type traffic. The network entity may schedule uplink or downlink transmissions for the UE based on the obtained information.
