Intermittent reception control apparatus, computer-readable recording medium, and intermittent reception control method

摘要

An intermittent reception control apparatus controls intermittent reception in communication between a base station apparatus and mobile station apparatuses. The intermittent reception control apparatus comprising a control unit that generates DRX parameters, which are intermittent reception parameters, and transmits the generated DRX parameters to the mobile station apparatuses. Further, the DRX parameters include information on the timing at which to cause the mobile station apparatuses to enter an active state and are common to all of the mobile station apparatuses, where the active state is a state where reception of signals transmitted from the base station apparatus is enabled. The intermittent reception control apparatus further comprising a scheduler that transmits to the mobile station apparatuses a DRX command that operates to force these apparatuses to enter an inactive state.

主权项

1. An intermittent reception control apparatus, which controls intermittent reception in communication between a first communication apparatus and a plurality of communication apparatuses, the intermittent reception control apparatus comprising:
a control unit that generates intermittent reception parameters and transmits the generated intermittent reception parameters to the plurality of communication apparatuses, the intermittent reception parameters including information on the timing at which to cause the plurality of communication apparatuses to enter an active state and being common to all of the plurality of communication apparatuses, the active state being a state where reception of signals transmitted from the first communication apparatus is enabled; and a scheduler that schedules data signals to be transmitted and received to and from the plurality of communication apparatuses that are in an active state, and transmits to the plurality of communication apparatuses a control signal that operates to force the plurality of communication apparatuses to enter an inactive state, wherein: the intermittent reception parameters include parameters that defines a first period and a second period, the first period being a period during which the plurality of communication apparatuses have to monitor a control signal transmitted from the first communication apparatus to the plurality of communication apparatuses, the second period being a period when the plurality of communication apparatuses do not have to monitor the control signal; and the scheduler transmits the control signal at the same time as the first period ends.
