Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a wireless communications method, apparatus, and system. A terminal is provided. The terminal sets up a connection to a first base station, and stays in always connected mode. Therefore, when the terminal moves in a dense network, handovers of the first base station can be reduced. Further, when the terminal moves in the dense network, frequent signaling interaction is reduced, paging load in the entire network is reduced, and an end-to-end delay in service setup and transmission is reduced.
Claims20
A terminal, comprising:
- a processor, configured to set up a connection to a first base station, and thereafter stay-in an always-connected mode, wherein operation of the terminal within the always-connected mode is taken from the group consisting of:
- always keeping the connection to the first base station within a preset time range and not entering a conventional idle mode after completion of all service transmission;
- always keeping the connection to the first base station within a preset time range if no actual data transmission is performed;
- and
- always keeping the connection to the first base station within a preset time range if only a default bearer is set up but there is no actual data transmission;
- a receiver configured to cooperatively operate with the processor to receive a first dedicated signaling sent by the first base station, wherein the first dedicated signaling comprises a second base station list information, and the second base station list information comprises an information about each second base station having context information of the terminal;
- and
- a transmitter configured to cooperatively operate with the processor to perform a data transmission through at least one of the group consisting of:
- the first base station and a second base station that, according to the second base station list information, has the context information of the terminal.
