identify a predicted beam failure detection (BFD) that is predicted within a future discontinuous reception (DRX) OFF duration associated with a configured DRX;
extend, based on the predicted BFD and without reception of network signaling to extend a DRX ON duration, the DRX ON duration associated with the configured DRX for an extension duration, wherein the extension duration is based on a BFD-reference signal (BFD-RS) periodicity; and
continue to perform one or more BFD related procedures during the DRX ON duration.
