Abstract

A base station used in a mobile communication system, includes: a controller configured to cause a user equipment to transition to a specific state in which a paging area is configured in the user equipment from the base station, perform a paging for the user equipment by the base station with another base station that are correspond to the paging area, when the base station receives a non-access stratum signaling from a core network to the user equipment, and transmit a failure notification from the base station to the core network in response to failing to the paging. The failure notification comprises an identifier for identifying the user equipment, and information indicating a cause of failure of the paging.

Claims (15)

1. A base station used in a mobile communication system, comprising:

a controller configured to,

cause a user equipment to transition from a RRC (radio resource control) connected state to a specific state in which a paging area is configured in the user equipment from the base station,

transmit a resume identifier used for resuming a RRC connection of the user equipment, to the user equipment when causing the user equipment to transition from the RRC connected state to the specific state,

perform a paging for the user equipment by the base station with another base station that corresponds to the paging area, when the base station receives a non-access stratum signaling from a core network to the user equipment,

transmit, to the another base station, a paging request message for paging the user equipment, the paging request including the resume identifier and information indicating DRX configuration configured from the base station to the user equipment,

receive, from the another base station, first information indicating that the another base station has failed in paging the user equipment, and

transmit, to the core network, a failure notification indicating the failure of the paging.

2. A method performed at a base station in a mobile communication system, comprising:

causing a user equipment to transition from a RRC (radio resource control) connected state to a specific state in which a paging area is configured in the user equipment from the base station;

transmitting a resume identifier used for resuming a RRC connection of the user equipment, to the user equipment when causing the user equipment to transition from the RRC connected state to the specific state;

performing a paging for the user equipment by the base station with another base station that corresponds to the paging area, when the base station receives a non-access stratum signaling from a core network to the user equipment;

transmitting, to the another base station, a paging request message for paging the user equipment, the paging request including the resume identifier and information indicating DRX configuration configured from the base station to the user equipment;

receiving, from the another base station, first information indicating that the another base station has failed in paging the user equipment; and

transmitting, to the core network, a failure notification indicating the failure of the paging.
