1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a wireless transceiver;
a memory; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the wireless transceiver and the memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to
activate a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode comprising first inactive time periods and first active time periods wherein the UE is configured to monitor a receipt of control messages from a base station during the first active time periods, and second inactive time periods and second active time periods wherein the UE is configured to monitor a receipt of sidelink control messages from another UE during the second active time periods; and
transmit a message to the another UE to indicate an upcoming second active time period allowing the UE to monitor the receipt of the sidelink control messages from the another UE, wherein the upcoming second active time period is configured to not overlap with the first active time periods.
