In contrast, in UMTS 3G, UE is always listening to the downlink control channel in the data transmission states
DRX in LTE
On Dura.on - UE monitors the downlink control channel (PDCCH) O Dura.on - skip recep.on of downlink channel

The data points are sampled and DRX in RRC_CONNECTED tail is not obvious due to the low sampling rate

LTE
has
signicantly

compared
to

WiFi
LTE
is
much
less

To ISPs: what is the impact of conguring LTE- related parameters on UE power saving, and delay/signaling overhead? To OS/applica.on developers: what is the performance bo\leneck of applica.ons in LTE network, CPU or network speed?
