The present disclosure relates to transmitting and receiving a beam report at a UE and a base station. The base station can configure a cDRX cycle with the UE. Also, the UE can wake up during an off period of the cDRX cycle. The UE can also compare a first metric of at least one of a plurality of candidate beams and a second metric of a current beam for communication with the base station. Additionally, the UE can transmit a beam report to the base station, during the off period, based on the comparison of the first metric of the at least one of the plurality of candidate beams and the second metric of the current beam. The UE can also select, during the off period of the cDRX cycle, the at least one of the plurality of candidate beams for communication with the base station.
