1. A method performed by a device, the method comprising:
determining traffic information of a user equipment (UE) operating in a first operating mode,
wherein the first operating mode is associated with the UE monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), via a first bandwidth part (BWP), according to a first rate;
determining, based on the traffic information, that the UE is to be transitioned to a different operating mode including one of:
a second operating mode associated with monitoring the PDCCH, via the first BWP, according to a second rate that exceeds the first rate,
a third operating mode associated with monitoring the PDCCH, via a second BWP different than the first BWP, according to the second rate, or
a fourth operating mode associated with monitoring the PDCCH, via the second BWP, according to the first rate; and
causing the UE to transition to the different operating mode based on determining that the UE is to be transitioned to operating in the different operating mode.
