In some examples of the method, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable medium described herein, the determining that the change in the channel quality metric exceeds the threshold value during the predetermined period before the first channel measurement further may include operations, features, means, or instructions for determining that at least a predetermined number of prior channel measurements may have been skipped based on the UE being in the inactive mode during corresponding scheduled channel measurements of the channel measurement schedule, where the predetermined period corresponds to the predetermined number of prior channel measurements, and determining that a difference between a current channel quality metric and a prior channel quality metric exceeds the threshold value.
In some examples of the method, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable medium described herein, the setting the UE to be in the limited active mode further may include operations, features, means, or instructions for maintaining channel measurement components of the UE in an ON state and deactivating PDCCH decoding components following an ON-duration of the discontinuous reception cycle that may be prior to the first channel measurement, performing the first channel measurement, and deactivating, responsive to performing the first channel measurement, the channel measurement components. In some examples of the method, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable medium described herein, the channel measurement components may be maintained in the ON state after expiration of the ON-duration based on the scheduled CSI measurement being within a predetermined time from the expiration of the ON-duration.
