Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for discontinuous reception configuration parameters for communication. One method ( 1000 ) includes receiving ( 1002 ), at a first user equipment and over a first radio interface, discontinuous reception configuration parameters for communication over a second radio interface. The method ( 1000 ) includes receiving ( 1004 ) quality of service requirements for transmission over the second radio interface. The method ( 1000 ) includes determining ( 1006 ) discontinuous reception communication parameters based on the discontinuous reception configuration parameters and based on the quality of service requirements. The method ( 1000 ) includes transmitting ( 1008 ) and receiving communications over the second radio interface based on the discontinuous reception communication parameters.
