10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the instructions stored on the at least one memory, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to perform:

transmitting a first configuration to the second apparatus, the first configuration for configuring the plurality of occasions to the second apparatus.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the active time ends before the associated discontinuous reception on-duration.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the instructions stored on the at least one memory, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to perform:

transmitting, to the second apparatus, an indication to end the active time;

based on the indication being transmitted, stopping transmitting information to the second apparatus during the active time; and

determining that the associated discontinuous reception on-duration is unavailable for transmitting information to the second apparatus.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the instructions stored on the at least one memory, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to perform:

transmitting the indication via a medium access control (MAC) control element.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the instructions stored on the at least one memory, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to perform:

transmitting a second configuration to the second apparatus, the second configuration for configuring the associated discontinuous reception on-duration to the second apparatus.

15. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the apparatus is a network device and the second apparatus is a terminal device.

16. A method comprising:

determining, at an apparatus, a plurality of occasions for monitoring wake up signaling for a discontinuous reception cycle having an associated discontinuous reception on-duration following the plurality of occasions;

determining that i) an active time during which the apparatus monitors transmissions from a second apparatus overlaps a first set of at least one occasion of the plurality of occasions and ii) the active time does not overlap a second set of at least one occasion of the plurality of occasions;

based on determining that the active time overlaps the first set, skipping monitoring wake up signaling on the first set; and

monitoring wake up signaling on at least one occasion in the second set to determine whether to monitor transmissions from the second apparatus during the associated discontinuous reception on-duration following the plurality of occasions.
