First Claim
1. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
- memory; and
processing circuitry to;
determine, based on whether communications of the apparatus are delay tolerant, to request extended idle mode discontinuous reception (DRX);
encode a radio resource control (RRC) message for transmission to a network responsive to determining to request extended idle mode DRX, the RRC message including extended idle mode DRX parameters information element to indicate usage of extended mode DRX, the message including an extended idle mode DRX length; and
monitor cells of the network according to a periodicity Thigher_priority_search, the periodicity being based on the extended idle mode DRX length when the extended idle mode DRX length is larger than 60*Nlayers, where Nlayers is a total number of configured higher priority Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA), UTRA Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), UTRA Time Division Duplex (TDD), Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA2000 1×
) and High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) carrier frequencies and is additionally increased by one if one or more groups of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) frequencies is configured as a higher priority.

Abstract
Embodiments of wireless communication devices and method for discontinuous reception (DRX) mode in wireless communication are generally described herein. Some of these embodiments describe a wireless communication device having processing circuitry arranged to determine to use an extended paging discontinuous reception (DRX) value to increase a paging cycle length above a value and select a first periodicity, based on the extended paging DRX value, at which the UE is to perform evaluation of a parameter of a network in which the UE is opera. The wireless communication device may have physical layer circuitry arranged to transmit a message to the network, indicating that the UE desires to perform evaluation of the parameter at the first periodicity. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
