Abstract

A base station supports SC-PTM. The base station sets a first configuration and a second configuration to the user terminal. The first configuration is a configuration on the user terminal discontinuously monitoring a PDCCH on which a control signal is transmitted, the control signal being for receiving multicast data transmitted by the SC-PTM from the base station. The first configuration includes an On-duration timer that is a period during which the user terminal receives the PDCCH. The first configuration is a configuration corresponding to a RNTI assigned commonly to a plurality of user terminals that receives identical multicast data by the SC-PTM. The second configuration is a configuration on the user terminal discontinuously monitoring a PDCCH on which a control signal is transmitted, the control signal being for receiving data transmitted by another transmission method from the base station.

Claims (23)

1. A base station that supports single cell point to multipoint (SC-PTM), comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a signal to a user terminal; and

a controller configured to set a first configuration and a second configuration to the user terminal, wherein

the first configuration is a configuration in which the user terminal discontinuously monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on which a control signal is transmitted, the control signal being for receiving multicast data transmitted by the SC-PTM from the base station,

the first configuration includes an On-duration timer that is a period during which the user terminal receives the PDCCH,

the first configuration is a configuration corresponding to a group radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) assigned commonly to a plurality of user terminals that receive identical multicast data by the SC-PTM, and

the second configuration is a configuration in which the user terminal discontinuously monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on which a control signal is transmitted, the control signal being for receiving data transmitted by a transmission method different from the SC-PTM, from the base station.

2. An apparatus that controls a base station that supports single cell point to multipoint (SC-PTM), comprising:

a processor, wherein

the processor executes a process of setting a first configuration and a second configuration to a user terminal,

the first configuration is a configuration in which the user terminal discontinuously monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on which a control signal is transmitted, the control signal being for receiving multicast data transmitted by the SC-PTM from the base station,

the first configuration includes an On-duration timer that is a period during which the user terminal receives the PDCCH,

the first configuration is a configuration corresponding to a group radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) assigned commonly to a plurality of user terminals that receive identical multicast data by the SC-PTM, and

the second configuration is a configuration in which the user terminal discontinuously monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on which a control signal is transmitted, the control signal being for receiving data transmitted by a transmission method different from the SC-PTM, from the base station.

3. A user terminal that supports single cell point to multipoint (SC-PTM) comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a signal from a base station; and

a controller, wherein

the receiver receives a first configuration and a second configuration from the base station,

the controller sets the first configuration and the second configuration,

the first configuration is a configuration in which the user terminal discontinuously monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on which a control signal is transmitted, the control signal being for receiving multicast data transmitted by the SC-PTM from the base station,

the first configuration includes an On-duration timer that is a period during which the user terminal receives the PDCCH,

the first configuration is a configuration corresponding to a group radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) assigned commonly to a plurality of user terminals that receive identical multicast data by the SC-PTM, and

the second configuration is a configuration in which the user terminal discontinuously monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on which a control signal is transmitted, the control signal being for receiving data transmitted by a transmission method different from the SC-PTM, from the base station.
