Abstract

A base station includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to transmit, when a state transition of a mobile station is performed, a first control signal to the mobile station, and perform control to simultaneously transmit the first control signal and a second control signal different from the first control signal to the mobile station when a first state transition, which causes a state of the mobile station to transfer from a first state to a second state, is performed, and then a second state transition, which causes the state of the mobile station to transfer from the second state to a third state, is performed.

Claims (42)

1. A base station comprising:

a communicator configured to communicate to a terminal; and

a processor configured to:

control to transmit first information that is information of a first layer when a first state transition of a mobile station, which causes a state of the mobile station to transfer from a first state to a second state, is performed, and

control to transmit second information that is information of the first layer and third information that is information of a second layer when a second state transition of the mobile station, which causes the state of the mobile station to transfer from the second state to a third state, is performed.

2. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the first layer is a RRC layer, and

the second layer is a NAS layer.

3. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the first state is a RRC IDLE state,

the second state is a RRC CONNECTED state, and

the third state is a RRC INACTIVE state.

4. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the second information includes indication information indicating a transition to the third state.

5. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the communicator is further configured to receive, from the mobile station, request information requesting the indication information in the first state transition, and

the processor is further configured to simultaneously transmit the second information and the third information to the mobile station according to the request information.

6. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the second state transition is performed after performing the first state transition.

7. A mobile station comprising:

a communicator configured to communicate to a base station; and

a processor configured to:

control to perform a first state transition which transfer from a first state to a second state when the communicator receives first information that is information of a first layer from the base station, and

control to perform a second state transition which transfer from the second state to a third state when the communicator receives second information that is information of the first layer and third information that is information of a second layer from the base station.

8. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein

the first layer is a RRC layer, and

the second layer is a NAS layer.

9. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein

the first state is a RRC IDLE state,

the second state is a RRC CONNECTED state, and

the third state is a RRC INACTIVE state.

10. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the second information includes indication information indicating a transition to the third state.

11. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein

the communicator is further configured to transmit, to the base station, request information requesting the indication information in the first state transition, and

the communicator is further configured to receive the second information and the third information that are simultaneously transmitted according to the request information.

12. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein

the second state transition is performed after performing the first state transition.

13. A wireless communication system comprising a first wireless communication apparatus and a second wireless communication apparatus,

the first wireless communication apparatus includes

a communicator configured to communicate to the second wireless communication apparatus; and

a processor configured to:

control to transmit first information that is information of a first layer when a first state transition of a wireless communication apparatus, which causes a state of the wireless communication apparatus to transfer from a first state to a second state, is performed, and

control to transmit second information that is information of the first layer and third information that is information of a second layer when a second state transition of a wireless communication apparatus, which causes the state of the wireless communication apparatus to transfer from the second state to a third state, is performed.
