Program and base station apparatus
The power consumption of a mobile station is reduced according to the conditions of use by a user without stopping packet communication necessary for the user. In a program for a base station apparatus, a request for establishing radio connection and information indicating the conditions of use of the mobile station apparatus are acquired from the mobile station apparatus (step S 1 ). When the information indicating the conditions of use indicates the use of the mobile station apparatus, a first timer is set for a relatively long time whereas when the information indicating the conditions of use indicates the non-use of the mobile station apparatus, the first timer is set for a relatively short time. When the transmission of a packet to the mobile station apparatus is completed (step S 4 ), the first timer is started up (steps S 6 and S 7 ), and when the first timer expires, a control signal is transmitted to the mobile station apparatus (step S 8 ) to interrupt the radio connection to the mobile station apparatus (step S 11 ).
1. A base station apparatus that performs radio communication with a mobile station apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:
a radio communication portion which acquires, from said mobile station apparatus, a request for establishing radio connection and information indicating conditions of use of said mobile station apparatus;
a timer setting portion which:
sets a first timer for a relatively long time, when said information indicating the conditions of use indicates use of said mobile station apparatus,
determines, when said information indicating the conditions of use indicates non-use of said mobile station apparatus whether or not a third timer determining a period of time during which occurrence of packet communication is monitored expires,
sets said first timer for a relatively long time, when said third timer does not expire, and
sets said first timer for a relatively short time, when said third timer expires; and
a radio control portion which starts up said first timer, at the time when transmission of a packet to said mobile station apparatus is completed, transmits a control signal to said mobile station to interrupt the radio connection to said mobile station apparatus at the time when said first timer expires.
2. A communication system comprising:
the base station apparatus according to claim 1 ; and
a mobile station apparatus that performs radio communication with the base station apparatus, wherein
the mobile station apparatus includes:
a use condition determination portion which determines conditions of use by a user;
a notification portion which notifies said base station apparatus of a request for establishing radio connection and information indicating said conditions of use; and
a control portion which receives a control signal from said base station apparatus to make transition to an idle state.
3. A base station apparatus that performs radio communication with a mobile station apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:
a radio communication portion which acquires, from said mobile station apparatus, a request for establishing radio connection and information indicating conditions of use of said mobile station apparatus;
a timer setting portion which sets, a second timer determining timing with which C-DRX (CONNECTED Discontinuous Reception) is started for a relatively long time, when said information indicating the conditions of use indicates use of said mobile station apparatus, and determines, when said information indicating the conditions of use indicates non-use of said mobile station apparatus, whether or not a third timer determining a period of time during which occurrence of packet communication is monitored expires, and sets said second timer for a relatively long time, when said third timer does not expire, and sets said second timer for a relatively short time, when said third timer expires; and
a radio control portion which starts up said second timer, when transmission of a packet to said mobile station apparatus is completed, and transmits a control signal intermittently to said mobile station apparatus at the timing when said second timer expires.
4. A communication system comprising:
the base station apparatus according to claim 3 ; and
a mobile station apparatus that performs radio communication with the base station apparatus, wherein
the mobile station apparatus includes:
a use condition determination portion which determines conditions of use by a user;
a notification portion which notifies said base station apparatus of a request for establishing radio connection and information indicating said conditions of use; and
a control portion which receives a control signal from said base station apparatus to make transition to an idle state.
5. A radio communication method of a base station apparatus with a mobile station apparatus, comprising:
acquiring, from said mobile station apparatus, a request for establishing radio connection and information indicating conditions of use of said mobile station apparatus;
setting a first timer for a relatively long time, when said information indicating the conditions of use indicates use of said mobile station apparatus, and
determining, when said information indicating the conditions of use indicates non-use of said mobile station apparatus, whether or not a third timer determining a period of time during which occurrence of packet communication is monitored expires, and setting said first timer for a relatively long time, when said third timer does not expire, and setting said first timer for a relatively short time, when said third timer expires; and
starting up said first timer, at the time when transmission of a packet to said mobile station apparatus is completed, and transmitting a control signal to said mobile station to interrupt the radio connection to said mobile station apparatus at the time when said first timer expires.
6. A radio communication method of a base station apparatus with a mobile station apparatus, comprising:
acquiring, from said mobile station apparatus, a request for establishing radio connection and information indicating conditions of use of said mobile station apparatus;
setting, a second timer determining timing with which C-DRX (CONNECTED Discontinuous Reception) is started for a relatively long time, when said information indicating the conditions of use indicates use of said mobile station apparatus, and
determining, when said information indicating the conditions of use indicates non-use of said mobile station apparatus, whether or not a third timer determining a period of time during which occurrence of packet communication is monitored expires, and setting said second timer for a relatively long time, when said third timer does not expire, and setting said second timer for a relatively short time, when said third timer expires; and
starting up said second timer, when transmission of a packet to said mobile station apparatus is completed, and transmitting a control signal intermittently to said mobile station apparatus at the timing when said second timer expires.
