1. A first network entity for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the first network entity to:
communicate with a plurality of user equipments (UEs) in accordance with one or more UE-specific discontinuous reception configurations associated with the plurality of UEs;
transmit control signaling indicating a common discontinuous reception configuration associated with the plurality of UEs communicatively coupled with the first network entity, the common discontinuous reception configuration indicating a time period including an active duration and an inactive duration;
transmit, to the plurality of UEs, additional control signaling indicating an activation of the common discontinuous reception configuration for the plurality of UEs; and
communicate with two or more of the plurality of UEs in accordance with the common discontinuous reception configuration during the active duration of the time period of the common discontinuous reception configuration and based at least in part on the additional control signaling.
