METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING POWER CONSUMPTION OF A TERMINAL IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for optimizing the power consumption of a terminal in a mobile communication system. The method for optimizing power consumption of a terminal in a mobile communication system comprises: a determination step of determining whether there is a need for changing a configuration for a discontinuous reception operation of the terminal; and a transmission step of transmitting, to a base station, a request message for a change in the discontinuous reception operation, if it is determined that the change is needed.
