The base station 105-a may provide a network coverage for UE 115-a within geographic coverage area 110-a. In some examples, UE 115-a may support DRX operation for improved power efficiency. For example, a UE 115-a may operate according to a DRX configuration in which the UE 115-a monitors for communications during periodic ON-durations, and transitions to a low power inactive mode between the periodic ON-durations during which the UE 115-a is in an active mode. The time period between the start of each ON-duration may be referred to as a cycle duration. Further, in some cases, DRX cycles may have an identified starting location (e.g., at the start of an identified slot within a subframe), and a configurable ON-duration (e.g., 2 slots) that starts at an offset (e.g., 4 slots) relative to the identified starting location.
