CELL DISCONTINUOUS SIGNALING CONFIGURATION
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to cell discontinuous signaling configuration. An apparatus, such as a UE, receives cell discontinuous signaling configuration from a network entity such as a base station. The cell discontinuous signaling configuration includes one or more of a cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) behavior or a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) behavior. The UE can apply the cell discontinuous signaling configuration to determine when to perform signal monitoring and/or signal transmission.
