First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
- attempting, by a UE configured to operate in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode and with time domain measurement resource restrictions, to read a paging message in a paging occasion in a restricted subframe during DRX active time.

9. A method for operating a network element in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
configuring, by the network element, a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle to 5*2n subframes and a DRX start offset that aligns on-duration periods to paging occasions that are protected by restricted subframes, wherein the network element is configured to utilize DRX and time domain measurement resource restrictions. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

17. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless heterogeneous network, the method comprising:
-
attempting, by the UE, to read a paging radio network temporary identifier in selected subframes at a selected time interval; and activating, by the UE, its receiver to receive transmissions from at least one of an underlay cell and an overlay cell during an active time, wherein the subframes are selected by the network to promote intercell interference coordination via a coordination method, the coordination method being one of a backhaul signaling technique or an almost blank subframe technique. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
