Energy Saving Techniques for UE in 5G: RRC States, DRX, and CDRX
In 5G, UE sleeps when there is no data traffic, and wakes up when data arrives in downlink or uplink buffer. This video explains the basics of sleep and wake-up mechanisms using RRC states, DRX, and CDRX.

"Correction: 03:31 UE cannot send SR while in RRC idle/inactive state. To change to 'RRC Connected' state, UE has to do a contention-based RACH procedure."
