1. A first device, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code;
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the first device to:
receive from a second device a command indicating the first device to skip monitoring a downlink control channel between the second device and the first device for a time period;
determine whether the time period overlaps with a time window associated with one of:
reception of a random access procedure or
reception of a contention resolution, and
based on a determined overlap of the time period with the time window, ignore the received command to skip monitoring the downlink control channel; or
based on no determined overlap of the time period with the time window, perform the received command to skip monitoring the downlink control channel.
