1. A method in a user equipment, the method comprising:
receiving a discontinuous reception configuration;
receiving a configuration of a physical downlink control channel carrying a power saving downlink control information format, wherein the configuration includes an offset value with respect to a starting time of a discontinuous reception cycle of the discontinuous reception configuration;
detecting the power saving downlink control information format at one of one or more monitoring occasions of the physical downlink control channel carrying the power saving downlink control information format; and
determining whether to start a drx-onDurationTimer in a following discontinuous reception cycle of the discontinuous reception configuration based on a wake-up indication of the power saving downlink control information format,
wherein the one or more monitoring occasions is determined, based upon the offset value, the starting time of the discontinuous reception cycle, and at least one search space configuration of the physical downlink control channel carrying the power saving downlink control information format.
