1. A method for controlling discontinuous reception (DRX) in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
- the WTRU receiving a DRX configuration comprising a plurality of DRX levels, each of the plurality of DRX levels comprising at least one DRX cycle length;
the WTRU operating at a first DRX level of the plurality of DRX levels;
the WTRU determining that a WTRU timer has expired; and
responsive to determining that the WTRU timer has expired, the WTRU transitioning from the first DRX level to a second DRX level of the plurality of DRX levels without receiving explicit signaling from a base station to transition from the first DRX level to the second DRX level, the second DRX level comprising a second DRX cycle length that is a multiple of a first DRX cycle length of the first DRX level.

Abstract
A method for controlling discontinuous reception in a wireless transmit/receive unit includes defining a plurality of DRX levels, wherein each DRX level includes a respective DRX cycle length and transitioning between DRX levels based on a set of criteria. The transitioning may be triggered by implicit rules.

37. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) comprising a processor, the processor configured to:
-
receive a DRX configuration comprising a plurality of DRX levels, each of the plurality of DRX levels comprising at least one DRX cycle length; operate the WTRU at a first DRX level of the plurality of DRX levels; determine that a WTRU timer has expired; and responsive to determining that the WTRU timer has expired, transition the WTRU from the first DRX level to a second DRX level of the plurality of DRX levels without receiving explicit signaling from a base station to transition from the first DRX level to the second DRX level, the second DRX level comprising a second DRX cycle length that is a multiple of a first DRX cycle length of the first DRX level. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 50, 52, 54)
