Study on Support of reduced capability NR devices; Phase 2
The scope of the present document is to investigate solutions to support of RRC INACTIVE state with extended DRX cycle longer than 10.24s to enrich the power saving function as studied in TR 38.875 [5].
This study will address the following objective:
Support for enabling of eDRX cycle that is longer than 10.24s in RRC_INACTIVE state with following two aspects:
1) Study the support of the eDRX cycle that is longer than 10.24s and up to 10485.76s for RRC_INACTIVE state for RAN paging (e.g. PTW and eDRX cycle values).
2) Study the MT signalling and data handling for UE with long eDRX cycle in RRC_INACTIVE state.
