Aspects of this disclosure relate to methods and apparatuses for aligning downlink discontinuous reception patterns in multiflow High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA). One aspect of the disclosure provides a method for wireless communications. The method includes: communicatively connecting with a user equipment (UE), a first cell, and a second cell; determining a sub-frame pairing between the first cell and the second cell; and selectively updating the sub-frame pairing based on a timing offset representative of a sub-frame delay between the first cell and the second cell.
