Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for reporting transmission for discontinuous reception. One method includes determining whether a symbol occurs within a discontinuous reception on duration time period. The method includes, in response to determining that the symbol occurs within the discontinuous reception on duration time period, determining whether to transmit a report. The method includes transmitting the report regardless of whether a discontinuous reception on duration timer is running.

Claims (28)

1. A method comprising:

determining whether a symbol occurs within a predetermined time period from a start of an on duration time period;

in response to determining that the symbol occurs within the predetermined time period from the start of the on duration time period, determining whether to transmit a report;

receiving information indicating whether to not start a discontinuous reception on duration timer, wherein the information is received an offset time period prior to the on duration time period;

in response to the information indicating to not start the discontinuous reception on duration timer, not starting the discontinuous reception on duration timer; and

transmitting the report even though the discontinuous reception on duration timer is not running as a result of determining that the symbol occurs within the predetermined time period from the start of the on duration time period.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising not considering wake up signaling to determine whether the discontinuous reception on duration timer is started.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the on duration time period comprises a duration of the discontinuous reception on duration timer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the report is a periodic channel state information report.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the report is a semi-persistent channel state information report.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the report is a sounding reference signal report.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the report is a periodic sounding reference signal report.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the report is a semi-persistent sounding reference signal report.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the report is transmitted on a physical uplink control channel.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the report is transmitted on a physical uplink shared channel.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the report is transmitted during the predetermined time period of the on duration time period.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined time period comprises a beginning number of milliseconds of the on duration time period.

13. An apparatus comprising:

a processor that:

determines whether a symbol occurs within a predetermined time period from a start of an on duration time period;

in response to determining that the symbol occurs within the predetermined time period from the start of the on duration time period, determines whether to transmit a report;

not starting a discontinuous reception on duration timer in response to receiving information indicating to not start the discontinuous reception on duration timer, wherein the information is received an offset time period prior to the on duration time period; and

a transmitter that transmits the report even though the discontinuous reception on duration timer is not running as a result of determining that the symbol occurs within the predetermined time period from the start of the on duration time period.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the processor does not consider wake up signaling to determine whether the discontinuous reception on duration timer is started.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein on duration time period comprises a duration of the discontinuous reception on duration timer.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the report is a periodic channel state information report.

17. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the report is a semi-persistent channel state information report.

18. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the report is a sounding reference signal report.
