1. A method performed by at least one processor in a user equipment (UE), comprising:
monitoring a downlink channel in accordance with one or more parameters associated with an on duration timer and an inactivity timer, the on duration timer specifying a time period in which the UE monitors the downlink channel, the inactivity timer specifying a time period in which the UE remains on after reception of downlink information in the downlink channel;
determining whether a predetermined condition for modifying the monitoring of the downlink channel is satisfied; and
in response to determining the predetermined condition is satisfied, modifying the monitoring of the downlink channel such that power consumption of the UE is reduced,
wherein the predetermined condition specifies at least one of a resource threshold and a time threshold,
wherein if the predetermined condition specifies the resource threshold, the monitoring of the downlink channel is modified based on a determination that a number of resources received in the downlink channel is greater than or equal to the resource threshold, and
wherein if the predetermined condition specifies the time threshold, the monitoring of the downlink channel is modified based on a determination that scheduled data is received in the downlink channel at a timing in which a remaining time period of the on duration timer or the inactivity timer is greater than or equal to the time threshold, the time threshold being greater than 0.
