Abstract
A base station, apparatus for controlling a base station, and method used in a base station comprises transmitting a resume identifier used for resuming an RRC connection of a user equipment, to the user equipment when causing the user equipment to transition from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state in which a paging area is configured in the user equipment from the base station, transmitting to another base station, a paging request message for paging the user equipment, the paging request including the resume identifier and information indicating a paging DRX (Discontinuous Reception) cycle of the user equipment, and receiving from the another base station, first information indicating that the another base station has failed in paging the user equipment.
Claims4
A base station used in a mobile communication system, comprising:
- a controller configured to
- transmit a resume identifier used for resuming an RRC connection of a user equipment, to the user equipment when causing the user equipment to transition from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state in which a paging area is configured in the user equipment from the base station,
- transmit to another base station, a paging request message for paging the user equipment, the paging request including the resume identifier and information indicating a paging DRX (Discontinuous Reception) cycle of the user equipment, and
- receive from the another base station, first information indicating that the another base station has failed in paging the user equipment.
An apparatus for controlling a base station comprising:
- a processor and a memory, the processor configured to cause the base station to transmit a resume identifier used for resuming an RRC connection of a user equipment, to the user equipment when causing the user equipment to transition from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state in which a paging area is configured in the user equipment from the base station,
- transmit to another base station, a paging request message for paging the user equipment, the paging request including the resume identifier and information indicating a paging DRX (Discontinuous Reception) cycle of the user equipment, and
- receive from the another base station, first information indicating that the another base station has failed in paging the user equipment.
A method used in a base station, comprising:
- transmitting a resume identifier used for resuming an RRC connection of a user equipment, to the user equipment when causing the user equipment to transition from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state in which a paging area is configured in the user equipment from the base station,
- transmitting, to another base station, a paging request message for paging the user equipment, the paging request including the resume identifier and information indicating a paging DRX (Discontinuous Reception) cycle of the user equipment, and
- receiving, from the another base station, first information indicating that the another base station has failed in paging the user equipment.
