1. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a device to:
configure a short discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, a DRX short cycle timer, and a long DRX cycle that is to follow the short DRX cycle after expiration of the DRX short cycle timer;
start the short DRX cycle based at least in part on receipt of a medium access control (MAC) control element from a base station or expiration of an inactivity timer;
receive a discontinuous reception (DRX) command MAC control element; and
transition from the short DRX cycle to the long DRX cycle based at least in part on receipt of the DRX command MAC control element.
