Discontinuous reception communication synchronization method and apparatus

A discontinuous reception communication synchronization method, comprising:

• receiving extended discontinuous reception (DRX) or an extended DRX indicator reported by a terminal;
• and
• delivering a paging message to a base station when a downlink service of the terminal is detected, wherein the paging message carries the extended DRX indicator and/or the extended DRX, so as to instruct the base station to calculate a paging time by using the extended DRX.

A discontinuous reception communication synchronization method, comprising:

• reporting an extended discontinuous reception (DRX) indicator or extended DRX to a network element of a core network;
• and
• calculating a paging time by using the extended DRX.

A discontinuous reception communication synchronization apparatus, comprising:

• a discontinuous reception (DRX) module, configured to receive extended discontinuous reception (DRX) or an extended DRX indicator reported by a terminal;
• and
• a paging-message sending module, configured to deliver a paging message to a base station when a downlink service of the terminal is detected, wherein the paging message carries the extended DRX indicator and/or the extended DRX received by the DRX module, so as to instruct the base station to calculate a paging time by using the extended DRX.

A discontinuous reception communication synchronization apparatus, comprising:

• a reporting module, configured to report an extended discontinuous reception (DRX) indicator or extended DRX to a network element of a core network;
• and
• a calculating module, configured to calculate a paging time by using the extended DRX reported by the reporting module.
