Terminal-based selection of radio parameters among a parameter subset offered by the network

摘要

A method of operating a telecommunications system (20) comprises a radio access network node (34) offering plural parameter configurations to a wireless terminal (30) over a radio interface (32) and the wireless terminal (30) choosing a preferred parameter configuration from among the plural parameter configurations offered by the radio access network node. In an example embodiment and mode, the method further comprises the radio access network node (34) offering the plural parameter configurations as a list of discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information elements, each discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information element comprising one parameter value for each of the one or more corresponding discontinuous reception parameters defined for the configuration information element.

1. A radio access network node of a telecommunications system which communicates over a radio interface with a wireless terminal, the radio access network node comprising:
an entity configured to generate plural parameter configurations to offer to the wireless terminal over the radio interface; and a communications interface through which the plural parameter configurations are offered to the wireless terminal, wherein the entity is further configured to
receive signaling of a preferred parameter configuration from the wireless terminal as chosen from the plural parameter configurations by the wireless terminal, and offer the plural parameter configurations are received as a list of discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information elements, each discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information element comprising one parameter value for each of one or more corresponding discontinuous reception parameters defined for the configuration information element.
