Expire
This timer measures the time during which the UE monitors the PDCCH. This timer starts at the first subframe of a DRX cycle. For details, see Note "Startup of a DRX Cycle." Timing is based on the number of consecutive PDCCH subframes. This timer stops after it expires or the UE receives a DRX command MAC control element (MCE). This timer stops. The UE enters the sleep time, no longer monitoring the PDCCH.

DRXInactivityTimer
Function
This timer measures the time during which the UE determines whether to extend its active time because of the arrival of new data. This timer provides a reference for the UE to apply a short DRX cycle. This timer starts or restarts when the UE successfully decodes a PDCCH indicating an initial UL grant or downlink (DL) user data for this UE. Timing is based on the number of consecutive PDCCH subframes. This timer stops after it expires or the UE receives the DRX command MCE. After this timer expires, the UE applies a short DRX cycle if the cycle is configured, and the DRX Short Cycle Timer starts or restarts. Alternatively, the UE applies the long DRX cycle if no short DRX cycle is configured.

Function
Start
This timer measures the minimum number of subframes before a DL HARQ retransmission arrives in the case of a packet error occurs. This timer is used to determine when to start the DRX Retransmission Timer. This timer starts and the DRX Retransmission Timer stops at the subframe when there may be a possible semi-persistent DL data transmission or stops at the subframe when the UE learns by detecting the PDCCH that one of its HARQ processes has new subframes for DL transmission.

This timer is used to determine when to start the DRX Retransmission Timer. This timer starts and the DRX Retransmission Timer stops at the subframe when there may be a possible semi-persistent DL data transmission or stops at the subframe when the UE learns by detecting the PDCCH that one of its HARQ processes has new subframes for DL transmission. Timing is based on the number of subframes. This timer stops after it expires. This timer stops. If the UE detects that DL data is received correctly, the UE takes no further action. Otherwise, the DRX Retransmission Timer starts.
DRX Retransmission Timer
DRXReTxTimer Function Start Timing Stop Expire
This timer measures the time during which the UE waits for HARQ in active time. If this timer expires and the UE has not received the retransmitted data, the UE will not accept it. When the HARQ RTT Timer expires, the DRX Retransmission Timer starts or restarts if the UE does not receive the acknowledgment (ACK) feedback of the corresponding DL data. Timing is based on the number of consecutive PDCCH subframes. This timer stops if the UE receives the retransmission data before the timer expires. This timer stops, and the UE takes no further action.

DRX basic concepts and principles - Switching between active time and sleep time
Switching between active time and sleep time is determined by DRX timers and service processes. Figure shows how the UE receiver in frequency division duplex (FDD) mode switches between active time and sleep time in various scenarios The active time shown in the green (bottom) plot of Figure combines the active time described in each of the other plots excluding the plot of HARQ RTT Timer.
Condition Meaning OD A DRX cycle starts. IA A PDCCH indicating an initial UL or DL data transmission is received. R The HARQ RTT Timer expires. SR A UL scheduling request is sent. UR A UL negative acknowledgment (NACK) is received, and retransmission is required. RAR A non-contention-based random access response is received. CR Msg3 is sent in a random access procedure.

DRX Short CycleTimer
eNodeB can assign both long and short DRX cycles (Option) to the UE, the UE applies only the long or short DRX cycle at a time. If shortDRX-Cycle is configured, the value of longDRX-Cycle shall be a multiple of the shortDRX-Cycle value .The UE can switch between the long and short DRX cycles: - After the DRX Inactivity Timer expires or the UE receives the DRX command MCE from the eNodeB, the UE leaves the long DRX cycle and enters a short DRX cycle; - If the UE does not receive any new data for a period after entering a short DRX cycle, it switches to a long DRX cycle, achieving lower power consumption: The period before the UE switches to a long DRX cycle is called the lifetime of short DRX cycle. The lifetime is measured based on the repetition times of short DRX cycle. The related timer is DRX Short Cycle Timer. The period is specified by the DrxShortCycleTimer parameter. After the DRX Short Cycle Timer expires, the UE applies the long DRX cycle

In DRX mode, the UE sends an SR when there is data in the UE buffer. If the UE is in sleep time, it immediately switches to active time and begins to monitor the PDCCH ; The eNodeB enables resource scheduling (UL grant )for the UE only in active time; HARQ takes priority over DRX. After a HARQ process starts, the UE immediately switches to active time if it is in sleep time and receives HARQ feedback

If an eNodeB receives a special-DRX starting indication during ANR measurements, the eNodeB configures or reconfigures a relatively large value of the long DRX cycle, during which UEs perform ANR measurements in the sleep time. If the eNodeB receives a special-DRX stopping indication, it restores the configuration.

When not in Active Time, CQI/PMI/RI on PUCCH and SRS shall not be reported For UEs complying with 3GPP Release 8, CQIs can be periodically measured and reported in active time in DRX mode. For UEs complying with 3GPP Release 9, CQIs can be reported only in the On Duration. In DRX mode, SRS can be periodically measured and reported only in active time of the UE;

DRX vs. Sheduling
The eNodeB enables resource scheduling for the UE only in active time if no system information is delivered or no paging is performed. In DRX mode, the UE sends an SR when there is data in the UE buffer. If the UE is in sleep time, it immediately switches to active time and begins to monitor the PDCCH. Upon reception of a PDCCH message, the DRX Inactivity Timer starts. This ensures that the active time continues and the UE obtains resources. HARQ takes priority over DRX. After a HARQ process starts, the UE immediately switches to active time if it is in sleep time and sends/receives HARQ feedback

DRX vs.HO
In different stages of a handover, DRX functions in the following manners: When the handover process starts: After receiving an indication of accepting the handover decision, the source eNodeB sends the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to instruct the UE to leave the DRX mode. If the UE is in sleep time, it will receive the message in active time in the next DRX cycle. If the handover succeeds: The UE cannot use the DRX feature if the DRX feature is deactivated on the target eNodeB. If the handover fails: The UE remains in the current cell, and the source eNodeB checks whether the UE can enter the DRX mode.

DRX Feature Benefit and influence

Compared with continuous reception, DRX has the following advantages: In DRX mode, the UE does not need to continuously monitor the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). As a result, power consumption is reduced, and battery runtime is prolonged. As an intermediate state between the RRC_CONNECTED and RRC_IDLE modes, DRX reduces the probability of transitions from RRC_CONNECTED to RRC_IDLE. This helps reduce signaling overhead of a network, especially a network with a large number of smart UEs. UEs can perform automatic neighbor relation (ANR) measurements during the sleep time in DRX. Impact on the Network: A over-small value of the OnDurationTimer parameter results in lower VoIP capacity. A over-large value of the LongDrxCycle parameter prolongs the SRS reporting period and therefore deteriorates UL synchronization performance. A large value of the LongDrxCycle parameter prolongs the CQI reporting period and therefore a decrease in the throughput under functions such as scheduling and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). A short sleep time in DRX has a negative impact on ANR measurements.

Conclusion
DRX is a mechanism for UE power consumptionUE DRX status is control by network between active time and sleep time
DRX cycles are switched between long and short to balance service delay and power saving
DRX mechanism is the basic of ANR
Suitable DRX parameters can improve UE stand-by time significant without big influence of service QoS (Objective)
