  • the maximum DRX cycle, the minimum DRX cycle, and “N” are set from different base stations between the base station and the mobile terminal due to a reception error of the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal cannot normally receive downlink data addressed to itself. It is possible to obtain the effect that no problem arises.
  • the maximum DRX cycle, minimum DRX cycle, and notification of “N” may be in the same order or different order.
  • the base station When the DRX cycle set is notified to the mobile terminal, or when the DRX cycle set is set as a specified value in the base station and the mobile terminal as a mobile communication system, the above “maximum DRX cycle” and “minimum DRX” The “period” parameter can be used. As a result, even in the DRX cycle included in the DRX cycle set, the base station can notify the mobile terminal of the DRX cycle that can be set at that time. As a result, it is possible to obtain an effect that a more optimal DRX operation method can be realized according to the relationship with other mobile terminals, the sum of mobile terminals in the same cell, the traffic status of the mobile terminal, and the like. .
  • a notification method it may be necessary to be able to change it more quickly according to traffic conditions. Therefore, in addition to the above, a notification method using an L1ZL2 control signal, an in-band signal, etc. can be considered so that the mobile station can be notified more dynamically.

Abstract

Dans l'invention, un terminal mobile (3) juge si il peut se déplacer ou pas pendant une période DTX en mode actif. Le cas échéant, un message indiquant cette possibilité est envoyé à une station de base (2). Lorsque la station de base (2) reçoit le message du terminal mobile (3) et si la station de base (2) juge qu'il peut se peut se déplacer pendant une période DRX en mode actif, l'alimentation fournie à une partie de transmission de données et à une partie de réception de données du terminal mobile (3) est temporairement interrompue.
