1. A method in a wireless network, the method comprising:

  • transmitting, by the network, downlink packets to a mobile device using a periodic semi-persistent downlink transmission resource that is aligned with discontinuous reception (DRX) awake periods, wherein the semi-persistent downlink transmission resource is scheduled using semi-persistent scheduling;

    during one of the awake periods defined for the mobile device, transmitting, by the network, signaling that defines an additional downlink transmission resource to transmit an additional packet or sub-packet, the additional downlink transmission resource being allocated to occur within one of the awake periods, wherein the additional downlink transmission resource is scheduled using dynamic scheduling;

    during one of the awake periods defined for the mobile device, transmitting the additional downlink packet using the additional downlink transmission resource;

    de-allocating the semi-persistent downlink transmission resource.
