Communication device, and communication method as well as communication system

摘要

A terminal intermittently operates while receiving paging information and other necessary information from a base station. In the terminal cycles of DRX with different lengths are combined in a hierarchy manner to determine an intermittent operation period. Upper DRX in the hierarchy has a longer cycle than lower DRX. A period using a cycle of the immediately lower DRX is determined based on information on the cycle of the upper DRX. An intermittent operation of a communication processing unit is controlled based on information on the cycle of DRX in a period using information on a cycle of the lowermost DRX.

1. A communication device comprising:
communication processing circuitry configured to perform digital processing and analog processing for transmitting and receiving data; and control circuitry configured to:
determine whether to enter an intermittent operation period for intermittently operating the communication processing circuitry per second cycle by use of information on a first cycle longer than the second cycle, and for intermittently operating the communication processing circuitry;generate a first timing signal which is switched on or off by the first cycle and a second timing signal which is switched on or off by the second cycle based on control information on the first and second cycles from a base station when accommodated in a communication network of the base station; anddetermine the intermittent operation period based on the first timing signal and intermittently operate the communication processing circuitry based on the second timing signal in the intermittent operation period.
