1. A method performed by a wireless device (WD) for communicating with a network node in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
configuring the WD with a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration having an ON-duration configuration and a long/short DRX cycle configuration, the DRX configuration defining a timing and a length of an ON-duration for the WD based on a message from the network node;
configuring the WD with a Power Saving Signal (PSS) configuration based on a message from the network node, wherein the PSS configuration comprises a PSS offset and a PSS range, and the PSS offset and the PSS range define a starting point and length of a PSS Monitoring Window (MW) within which at least one PSS Monitoring Occasion (MO) occurs; and
monitoring a signal or channel at one or more PSS MOs within the PSS MW.
