3.3.3.2 eDRX (Extended DRX Configuration)
TX62/TX82 and the network may negotiate the use of eDRX (extended DRX) to reduce power
consumption, while being available for mobile terminating data and/or network originated pro-
cedures within a certain delay dependent on the network negotiated eDRX cycle value (see
also Section 3.3.1.2). If the network supports eDRX, the module monitors the paging messages
during a periodic Paging Time Window (PTW) configured for TX62/TX82.
The possible eDRX paging cycle length (PCL) ranges from 5.12s up to a maximum of
10485.76s (almost 3 hours).
The PTW length can be calculated using the following formula:
t_ptw = (PTW value +1)* 2560 ms
Figure 48 shows the eDRX timings, with the module listening to paging messages during a pag-
ing time window (PTW).

The eDRX timer can be configured with AT+CEDRXS (or AT^SEDRXS with a PTW timer
request) that negotiates the eDRX settings with the network. The dynamic parameters are
readable with AT+CEDRXRDP. For more information on these AT commands see [1].
Note 1: If SUSPEND mode is enabled in addition to SLEEP mode and eDRX settings, the mod-
ule is able to reduce its current consumption even further during the eDRX paging cycle (see
Figure 48). This optional so-called eDRX SUSPEND mode can be enabled with the AT^SCFG
command “Radio/Suspend,<suspendmode>”. However, the module will in this case not longer
be able to change into the regular 3GPP PSM SUSPEND mode.
Note 2: eDRX can be configured together with 3GPP PSM (AT+CPSMS) as it will not only
affect SLEEP mode (deep sleep) and eDRX SUSPEND mode, but also the 3GPP PSM SUS-
PEND mode - see Section 3.3.3.3.
