The second device 120 may wait for the UL SDT after the DL data arrives the first device 110, and the second device 120 may not page the first device 110 immediately if there is on-going UL SDT. For example, the second device 120 may not page the first device 110 at next one or more paging occasions for DL data transmission after the first device 110 has initiated UL SDT.

  • the first threshold number, the second threshold number, the first time window, and/or the second time window may be determined by the second device 120 based on the QoS information of DL data. In some example embodiments, the first threshold number and/or the first window may be determined based on a delay requirement of transmission to the first device 110. For example, if the delay requirement is stricter, the first threshold number may be set to be smaller, and/or the first time window may be shorter, to reduce transmission delay caused by paging skipping. If the delay requirement is much less strict, the first threshold number may be larger, or the first time window may be longer.
