Abstract
In a mobile station which communicates wirelessly with a wireless base station with a plurality of connections established by using part or all of a plurality of frequency bands, a plurality of wireless communication interfaces is associated with the plurality of frequency bands, and a processor makes a sleep request to the wireless base station, acquires from the wireless base station information about a result of scheduling complying with the sleep request and indicating non-sleep intervals of the individual connections and the frequency bands to be used for the respective non-sleep intervals, and performs sleep control on the plurality of wireless communication interfaces in accordance with the acquired information.
Claims12
A mobile station for communicating wirelessly with a wireless base station with a plurality of connections established by using part or all of a plurality of frequency bands, comprising:
- a plurality of wireless communication interfaces associated with said plurality of frequency bands;
- and
- a processor configured to select, from among a plurality of scheduling policies, a policy to be used by the wireless base station, designate the selected policy by means of a sleep request, make the sleep request to the wireless base station, acquire from the wireless base station information about a result of scheduling complying with the sleep request and indicating non-sleep intervals of the individual connections and the frequency bands to be used for the respective non-sleep intervals, and perform sleep control on said plurality of wireless communication interfaces in accordance with the acquired information.
A wireless base station for communicating wirelessly with a mobile station with a plurality of connections established by using part or all of a plurality of frequency bands, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a sleep request from the mobile station, the sleep request designating a policy to be used by the wireless base station which the mobile station has selected from among a plurality of scheduling policies;
- a processor configured to perform scheduling of non-sleep intervals of the individual connections and the frequency bands to be used for the respective non-sleep intervals, in compliance with the policy designated in the sleep request received by the receiver;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit information about a result of the scheduling by the processor to the mobile station.
A wireless communication method allowing a mobile station and a wireless base station to communicate wirelessly with each other with a plurality of connections established by using part or all of a plurality of frequency bands, comprising:
- causing the mobile station to select, from among a plurality of scheduling policies, a policy to be used by the wireless base station, and designate the selected policy by means of a sleep request,
- causing the mobile station to transmit the sleep request to the wireless base station;
- causing the wireless base station to perform scheduling of non-sleep intervals of the individual connections and the frequency bands to be used for the respective non-sleep intervals, in compliance with the policy designated in the sleep request, and to transmit information about a result of the scheduling to the mobile station;
- and
- causing the mobile station to perform sleep control on a plurality of wireless communication interfaces thereof associated with said plurality of frequency bands, in accordance with the information transmitted from the wireless base station.
