1. A method comprising:
configuring, by a device, a default time period for periodic service requests for discontinuous reception (DRX) for user equipment (UE) devices;
determining, by the device, that a signal quality value for a UE device is less than a first threshold; and
configuring, by the device, a second time period longer than the default time period for the periodic service requests for DRX for the UE device, in response to determining that the signal quality value is less than the first threshold.
