1. A method comprising:
- collecting, by a client device, PTT usage data for the client device, the PTT usage data including information about calls made and received by the client device;
determining, by the client device, usage patterns according to the PTT usage data;
creating, by the client device, a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode policy according to the usage patterns, wherein the mode policy is created in response to the PTT usage data indicating a recent call to a PTT group having a predefined attribute, wherein the predefined attribute is an indication that the PTT group is an emergency call group;
accessing, by the client device, the DRX mode policy, wherein the DRX mode policy is in accordance with push-to-talk (PTT) usage patterns of at least the client device;
selecting, by the client device, a DRX cycle time based on the DRX mode policy; and
applying, by the client device, the DRX cycle time to a cellular network interface of the client device.

Abstract
A system and method for push-to-talk (PTT) key one-touch calling is provided. In an embodiment, a client device accesses a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode policy. The DRX mode policy is in accordance with push-to-talk (PTT) usage patterns of at least the client device. The client device selects a DRX cycle time based on the DRX mode policy. The client device applies the DRX cycle time to a cellular network interface of the client device.
