Various embodiments include methods implemented in user equipment (UE) for synchronizing resource timings of at least two wireless protocols. The UE may obtain communication timing information of a user device, send the communication timing information of the user device to a network node, and configure first resource timings of an uplink or downlink between the UE and the user device based on the communication timing information. The UE may request configuration of second resource timings of a further uplink or downlink between the UE and the network node based on the communication timing information. Sending communication timing information may include requesting a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration adjustment so that a DRX cycle of the UE and a target wake time (TWT) of the user device at least partially coincide. Configuring first resource timings may include adjusting a timing of the TWT based on a DRX configuration for the user device.
