1. A wireless transmit/receive unit, WTRU, for using an extended discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, the WTRU comprising:
a processor, the processor being configured to:
send a message to a network that indicates a request for an extended DRX cycle length;
receive a message from the network that indicates the extended DRX cycle length and a receiving window length;
determine a paging occasion within a receiving window, wherein the receiving window is defined from the extended DRX cycle length and the receiving window length; and
monitoring for a paging message during the paging occasion.
