the wtru 402 returns 422 to drx level 3 306 at the same time that the e utran 404 returns 424 to drx level 3 306 fig5 is a flow diagram of a method of implicit signaling 500 in accordance with one embodiment at step 502 the wtru is in normal operating mode or level 3 at step 504 the wtru checks to see if a timer has timed out or a trigger has been received that would force the wtru to move to another drx state if no at step 506 the wtru remains in normal state if the wtru detects a time out signal or a trigger at step 504 at step 508 the wtru determines if it should move to drx level 1 or drx level 2 if the wtru determines that the trigger is a level 2 trigger at step 510 the wtru moves to drx level 2 at step 512 the wtru determines that the resume period has ended and returns to drx level 3 if however the wtru at step 508 determines that it received a level 1 trigger at step 514 the wtru goes into a drx level 1 at step 516 the wtru determines if it has received a radio bearer reconfiguration message if not the wtru at step 518 waits for the resume period to end and returns to normal operation at step 522 if however at step 516 the wtru receives a radio bearer reconfigure message at step 520 the wtru returns to normal drx cycle operation fig6 is a flow diagram of an implicit drx method 600 in accordance with another embodiment at step 602 the wtru is in normal or drx level 3 mode at step 604 the wtru conducts a traffic.
