Abstract
The invention provides for a method of controlling discontinuous reception between a mobile radio communications network device and a mobile radio communications device within a mobile radio communications network and including the step of controlling magnitude of the discontinuous reception period in a manner responsive to the velocity of movement of the mobile radio communications device within the network such that a decrease in velocity can lead to an increase in the discontinuous reception period employed by the devices.
Claims27
A method of controlling discontinuous reception between a mobile radio communications network device and a mobile radio communications device within a mobile radio communications network, comprising:
- controlling the magnitude of the discontinuous reception period in a manner responsive to the velocity of movement of the mobile radio communications device within the network.
A mobile radio communications device arranged for discontinuous reception within a mobile radio communications network, comprising:
- a unit that determines the velocity of movement of the mobile radio communications device itself;
- a unit that compares the determined velocity with threshold values;
- and
- a unit that signals to the network for a change in discontinuous reception period responsive to the result of the said comparison.
