Abstract

To provide a wireless communication terminal enabling to reduce the load on a mobile communication network and saving upstream wireless resources. In step A 1 , an establishment request message for an individual channel is transmitted from a cell phone 10 to a mobile communication network NW. In step A 2 , determination is made as to whether an rrc Connection Setup Complete (individual channel establishment completion message) has been retransmitted at the establishment of the individual channel at the time of the previous communication. When the retransmission has been done (YES), it proceeds to step A 3 . In step A 3 , a predetermined delay time T 1 is added to transmission timing with the individual channel, and transmission begins along the individual channel (DPDCH) at timing of parameters [PC Preamble+SRB delay]+delay time T 1 . As a result, after that, an individual channel establishment completion message will not be retransmitted.

Claims (17)

1. A wireless communication terminal comprising a control unit which transmits an individual channel establishment request message to a mobile communication network, and which establishes an individual channel using an individual channel establishment parameter informed in response to said individual channel establishment request message from said mobile communication network, and which also transmits an individual channel establishment completion message to said mobile communication network based on transmission start timing included in said individual channel establishment parameter, said control unit to:

store information representing that a retransmission of the individual channel establishment completion message has been done in a storage unit together with the retransmission of the individual channel establishment completion message, when a retransmission request message for the individual channel establishment completion message has been received from said mobile communication network;

judge whether or not the transmission start timing is greater than a predetermined value in case where the retransmission of the individual channel establishment completion message has been done when transmitting a next individual channel establishment completion message; and

switching between a transmission start timing adjustment process and a transmission power level adjustment process based on the judging result, the transmission start timing process adding a predetermined delay time to the transmission start timing included in the individual channel establishment parameter informed from said mobile communication network, the transmission power level adjustment process adding a predetermined additional power level to the transmission power level included in the individual channel establishment parameter informed from said mobile communication network.

2. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising

a storage unit which stores the information representing that said individual channel establishment completion message has been retransmitted, wherein

the control unit that determines whether the retransmission of the individual channel establishment completion message has been done or not based on the information stored in the storage unit.

3. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 2 , wherein

the control unit is configured to increase the predetermined delay time to be added to the transmission start timing, correspondingly to number of times said individual channel establishment completion message stored in said storage unit has been retransmitted.

4. A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with a transmission function control program for controlling a computer to function as the control unit according to claim 1 .

5. A transmission function adjusting method for use in a wireless communication terminal which transmits an individual channel establishment request message to a mobile communication network, and which establishes an individual channel using an individual channel establishment parameter informed in response to said individual channel establishment request message from said mobile communication network, and which also transmits an individual channel establishment completion message to said mobile communication network based on transmission start timing included in said individual channel establishment parameter, said method comprising:

retransmitting said individual channel establishment completion message;

storing information representing that this retransmission has been done in a storage unit, when a retransmission request message for said individual channel establishment completion message has been received from said mobile communication network;

judging whether or not the transmission start timing is greater than a predetermined value in case where the retransmission of the individual channel establishment completion message has been done when transmitting a next individual channel establishment completion message; and

switching between a transmission start timing adjustment process and a transmission power level adjustment process based on the judging result, the transmission start timing adjustment process adding a predetermined delay time to the transmission start timing included in the individual channel establishment parameter informed from said mobile communication network, the transmission power level adjustment process adding a predetermined additional power level to the transmission power level included in the individual channel establishment parameter informed from said mobile communication network.

6. The transmission function adjusting method according to claim 5 , further comprising

increasing the predetermined delay time to be added to the transmission start timing, correspondingly to number of times said stored individual channel establishment completion message has been retransmitted.
