Abstract
There is provided a method for enabling a user equipment (UE) to transition between a non-discontinuous reception (Non-DRX) level and at least one discontinuous reception (DRX) level. The UE in a DRX level wakes up periodically to monitor a scheduling channel. The method includes receiving a DRX indicator in a Non-DRX level with continuously monitoring the scheduling channel and transitioning from the Non-DRX level to a DRX level indicated by the DRX indicator. The UE can transition between multiple DRX levels by an explicit command/signaling.

15. A method of transitioning a reception level to monitor a scheduling channel in a wireless communication system, carried in a user equipment (UE), comprising:
-
monitoring discontinuously a scheduling channel in a first DRX level; starting a first timer when the scheduling channel indicates a transmission or reception of data by a base station; monitoring continuously the scheduling channel while the first timer is running; and transitioning to the first DRX level or a second DRX level when a DRX indicator is received from the base station. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A user equipment (UE) comprising a processor configured to:
-
monitor discontinuously a scheduling channel in a first DRX level; start a first timer when the scheduling channel indicates a transmission or reception of data by a base station; monitor continuously the scheduling channel while the first timer is running; and transition to the first DRX level or a second DRX level when a DRX indicator is received from the base station. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
