An objective of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for configuring DRX for a user equipment in a dual/plural connectivity wireless communication system. In the current 3GPP standard, the user equipment is not supported to perform a serving connection simultaneously to a plurality of cells at different nodes. Although there are a plurality of serving cells in the case of carrier aggregation, there is no significant gain for configuring DRX separately on respective carriers because there is only one common MAC layer and the upper layer data are multiplexed by carriers. However, for the dual/plural connectivity, different traffics will be transmitted over different base stations (even the same traffic may be transmitted in different base stations, it is likely that different base stations transmit multiple kinds of traffics; therefore, different base stations will transmit different traffics), such that configuring DRX separately will have a significant gain. The present invention determines a configuration pattern for DRX configuration for the user equipment based on the characteristics of dual/plural connectivity to perform DRX configuration to the user equipment better, which satisfies QoS demands of different traffics and meanwhile meets the objective of saving power.
