WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A wireless communication device includes a wireless communication unit receiving a signal, and a controlling unit determining parameters relating an offset of an active interval during which signals can be received in accordance with identification information of a group.
1 . A wireless communication device comprising:
a wireless communication unit receiving a signal; and
a controlling unit determining parameters relating an offset of an active interval during which signals can be received in accordance with identification information of a group.
2 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein, the controlling unit judges whether a wireless resource is used by another device during the active interval corresponding to the parameters.
3 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein, the controlling unit supplies power to the wireless communication unit during the active interval corresponding to the offset, and judges whether a wireless resource is used by another device during the active interval corresponding to the offset.
4 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein, when groupcast is performed in a group set in accordance with a communication range corresponding to a communication service, the controlling unit determines an active interval corresponding to a zone where an own device is located and the communication range.
5 . The wireless communication device according to claim 4 , wherein the controlling unit determines an active interval composed of a plurality of consecutive slots each corresponding to a zone.
6 . The wireless communication device according to claim 5 , wherein the controlling unit determines an active interval including a slot corresponding to a zone where an own device is located and a zone in the communication range of the own device.
7 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein, controlling unit determines the parameters relating an offset of an active interval in accordance with the identification information of the group to which an own device belongs.
8 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the controlling unit determines an active interval in each of a plurality of discontinuous reception cycles, the active intervals being provided with offsets mutually different in the discontinuous reception cycles.
9 . A wireless communication device comprising:
a wireless communication unit transmitting a signal; and
a controlling unit determining a transmission timing of the signal transmitted from the wireless communication unit,
the controlling unit including
managing a group of terminal devices, the group being a destination of a signal to be groupcast, and
selecting the transmission timing in accordance with information of a group, the terminal devices belonging to the group being in active intervals, corresponding to the parameters relating an offset of the active intervals, capable of signal reception at the transmission timing.
10 . A wireless communication system comprising:
a first terminal device; and
a second terminal device,
the first terminal device managing a group of terminal devices including the second terminal device, the group being a destination of a signal to be groupcast, and
the second terminal device determining parameters relating an offset of an active interval in accordance with the information of a group.
