Patent 11089570 was granted and assigned to LG on August, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
In the present invention, a user equipment (UE) receives a paging message while using a paging discontinuous reception (DRX). The UE transitions from the paging DRX with a paging DRX cycle to an inactive DRX with an inactive DRX cycle if the paging message includes an indication that there is downlink data for the UE. The UE monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) using the inactive DRX to receive the downlink data.
