Abstract

Provided is a communication terminal including a timing detection unit that detects arrival of timing according to a configured cycle, a condition determination unit that determines whether or not a shared condition shared with a base station is satisfied, and a communication controller that controls reception of paging when the timing detection unit detects the arrival of timing and the condition determination unit determines that the shared condition is satisfied.

Claims (57)

1. A communication terminal, comprising:

circuitry configured to:

determine whether first control information includes an extension parameter indicating an extension of a discontinuous reception cycle;

extend the discontinuous reception cycle based on the determination that the first control information includes the extension parameter;

select the extended discontinuous reception cycle; and

determine a first paging cycle based on the selected extended discontinuous reception cycle, the extension parameter included in the first control information, and a terminal ID,

wherein the extended discontinuous reception cycle is longer than a system frame cycle,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to control reception of a paging message based on a second paging cycle,

wherein the second paging cycle is determined based on a first discontinuous reception cycle, and the second paging cycle is determined based on a second discontinuous reception cycle when the extension parameter is not included in the first control information, and

wherein the second paging cycle is shorter than the system frame cycle.

2. The communication terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first discontinuous reception cycle corresponds to a configured cycle that is assigned individually to each of a plurality of communication terminals, and

wherein the second discontinuous reception cycle corresponds to a configured cycle that is common or in a cell.

3. The communication terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to count elapse of a period.

4. The communication terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the elapsed period is the configured cycle.

5. The communication terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to initialize a count value when the count value reaches a setting value.

6. The communication terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the setting value is received from an external server to the communication terminal via a base station.

7. The communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first paging cycle is assigned in common to a plurality of communication terminals in a cell of a base station.

8. The communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to initialize a count value when the count value reaches a setting value.

9. The communication terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the setting value is received from an external server to the communication terminal via a base station.

10. A base station, comprising:

circuitry configured to:

determine whether first control information includes an extension parameter indicating an extension of a discontinuous reception cycle;

extend the discontinuous reception cycle based on the determination that the first control information includes the extension parameter;

select the extended discontinuous reception cycle; and

determine a first paging cycle based on the selected extended discontinuous reception cycle, the extension parameter included in the first control information, and a terminal ID,

wherein the extended discontinuous reception cycle is longer than a system frame cycle,

wherein the circuitry is further configured to control transmission of a paging message based on a second paging cycle,

wherein the second paging cycle is determined based on a first discontinuous reception cycle, and the second paging cycle is determined based on a second discontinuous reception cycle when the extension parameter is not included in the first control information, and

wherein the second paging cycle is shorter than the system frame cycle.

11. The base station according to claim 10 ,

wherein the first discontinuous reception cycle corresponds to a configured cycle that is assigned individually to each of a plurality communication terminals, and

wherein the second discontinuous reception cycle corresponds to a configured cycle that is common in a cell.

12. The base station according to claim 11 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to count elapse of a period.

13. The base station according to claim 12 , wherein the elapsed period is the configured cycle.

14. The base station according to claim 12 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to initialize a count value when the count value reaches a setting value.

15. The base station according to claim 14 , wherein the setting value is received from an external server to a communication terminal via the base station.

16. The base station according to claim 10 , wherein the first paging cycle is assigned in common to a plurality of communication terminals in a cell of the base station.

17. A communication method, comprising:

in a communication terminal:

determining whether first control information includes an extension parameter indicating an extension of a discontinuous reception cycle;

extending the discontinuous reception cycle based on the determination that the first control information includes the extension parameter;

selecting the extended discontinuous reception cycle;

determining a paging cycle based on the selected extended discontinuous reception cycle, the extension parameter included in the first control information, and a terminal ID, wherein the extended discontinuous reception cycle is longer than a system frame cycle; and

controlling reception of a paging message based on a second paging cycle,

wherein the second paging cycle is determined based on a first discontinuous reception cycle, and the second paging cycle is determined based on a second discontinuous reception cycle when the extension parameter is not included in the first control information, and
