Abstract:
The monitoring of control channels, such as the physical downlink control channel, may benefit from the influence of data buffer status information. In certain embodiments, a method includes monitoring a downlink channel (for example, a PDCCH) in active time. The method also includes monitoring an instantaneous status of a data buffer related to a user equipment and/or a base station. The monitoring of the downlink channel is guided by the instantaneous status as presently known.
