TECHNIQUES FOR RADIO ACCESS AND SIDELINK DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION ALIGNMENT
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a second UE associated with a sidelink connection with the first UE, assistance information indicating at least part of a first discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration for a radio access link between the first UE and a base station. The UE may receive at least part of a sidelink DRX configuration for the sidelink connection, wherein an on duration of the sidelink DRX configuration is not aligned with an on duration of the first DRX configuration. The UE may transmit information indicating at least part of the sidelink DRX configuration. The UE may receive, from the base station, a second DRX configuration for the radio access link. The UE may communicate in accordance with the sidelink DRX configuration or the second DRX configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.
