FIG. 12 shows a flowchart illustrating a method 1200 that supports channel measurement techniques in discontinuous reception scenarios in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The operations of method 1200 may be implemented by a UE 115 or its components as described herein. For example, the operations of method 1200 may be performed by a communications manager as described with reference to FIGS. 7 through 10. In some examples, a UE may execute a set of instructions to control the functional elements of the UE to perform the functions described below. Additionally or alternatively, a UE may perform aspects of the functions described below using special-purpose hardware.
At 1205, the UE may receive a discontinuous reception cycle configuration from a base station that indicates a set of discontinuous reception cycles within a discontinuous reception period that each have an ON-duration during which the UE is to be in an active mode to monitor for transmissions from the base station, and where the UE transitions to an inactive mode after one or more of the ON-durations until a subsequent ON-duration. The operations of 1205 may be performed according to the methods described herein. In some examples, aspects of the operations of 1205 may be performed by a DRX manager as described with reference to FIGS. 7 through 10.
