USER DEVICE, GATEWAY DEVICE, RADIO BASE STATION, MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND MOBILE COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

Provided are a user device, a gateway device, a radio base station, a mobile communication system, and a mobile communication method capable of considerably reducing the number of control signals necessary for Small Data Transmission (SDT). A UE 100 transitions from RRC-IDLE state where no communication bearer in the control plane is established and EMM-IDLE state where communication in the user plane is not enabled to RRC-CONNECTED state where a communication bearer in the control plane is established and the EMM-IDLE state. The UE 100 transmits user data inputted into the UE 100, via the communication bearer in the control plane in the RRC-CONNECTED state and the EMM-IDLE state. In addition, the UE 100 transitions from the RRC-CONNECTED state and the EMM-IDLE state to the RRC-IDLE state and the EMM-IDLE state as soon as the transmission of the user data is completed.

1. A user device including: a radio resource control unit configured to perform a process in a control plane according to radio resource control; and a mobility management unit configured to perform mobility management of the user device and enable a process in a user plane, the user device comprising:
a state control unit configured to cause the user device to transition from RRC-IDLE state where no communication bearer in the control plane is established, and EMM-IDLE state where communication in the user plane is not enabled, to RRC-CONNECTED state where a communication bearer in the control plane is established and the EMM-IDLE state; and a data transmission unit configured to transmit user data inputted into the user device, via the communication bearer in the control plane in the RRC-CONNECTED state and the EMM-IDLE state, wherein the state control unit causes the user device to transition from the RRC-CONNECTED state and the EMM-IDLE state to the RRC-IDLE state and the EMM-IDLE state as soon as the transmission of the user data by the data transmission unit is completed.
