Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to techniques for paging during Long Term Evolution (LTE) discontinuous reception (DRX) operations. Aspects generally include determining whether one or more paging occasions from a base station (BS) occur while a receiver of an apparatus is in an active state based on a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, adjusting a period that the receiver is in the active state during the DRX cycle if at least one paging occasion does not occur while the receiver is in the active state, and monitoring for at least one paging occasion occurring while the receiver is in the active state during the adjusted period.
