Abstract
A method for wireless communication may include a mobile entity receiving a timing indicator for a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle during a DRX mode, and adjusting at least an acknowledgement timing in response to receiving the timing indicator for the DRX cycle. A base station in communication with the mobile entity may provide a timing indicator for a DRX cycle during a DRX mode to the mobile entity, transmit at least one of downlink (DL) data or an uplink (UL) grant indicator to the mobile entity at a first time, and waiting from the first time for a time period indicated by the timing indicator before receiving at least one of an acknowledgement of the DL data or UL data responsive to the UL grant from the mobile entity.
