Abstract
In a control of receiving service information, a controller in a radio communication terminal (AT) controls a communication section to receive broadcast data continuously for one cycle while a broadcast service is executed. When a packet among the broadcast data can not be received for some reason, retransmission of the packet is awaited. During the waiting period, transfer rates are respectively calculated based on all previously received data and the latest data received (e.g., during the preceding 30 seconds). Then, a time until the required packet is received for the next time is estimated. Until that time, intermittent reception is performed by the radio communication terminal (AT) at an interval assigned for the radio communication terminal.
Claims15
A radio communication terminal comprising:
- a receiver which receives packets being broadcasted via at least one of a broadcast service and a multicast service;
- and
- a controller which, when the receiver fails to receive at least one of the packets, halts continuous reception of the packets until said at least one of the failed packets is rebroadcasted,
- wherein the controller monitors a control information of the base station while waiting for the rebroadcast, wherein the rebroadcast is not requested by the radio communication terminal,
- wherein the packets are repetitively broadcasted in a certain cycle.
A reception control method comprising:
- continuously receiving packets being broadcasted via at least one of a broadcast service and a multicast service;
- halting continuous reception of the packets when at least one of the packets that are continuously received is failed to be received, until said at least one of the failed packets is rebroadcasted;
- and
- monitoring a control information of the base station while waiting for the rebroadcast, wherein the rebroadcast is not requested by the radio communication terminal,
- wherein the packets are repetitively broadcasted in a certain cycle.
A radio communication terminal comprising:
- a receiver which receives a series of packets being broadcasted via at least one of a broadcast service and a multicast service, wherein the series of packets is broadcasted a plurality of times;
- and
- a controller which, when the receiver fails to receive at least one packet in receiving the series of packets, halts reception of the series of packets, which is rebroadcasted, until said at least one packet is rebroadcasted,
- wherein the controller monitors a control information of the base station while waiting for the rebroadcast, wherein the rebroadcast is not requested by the radio communication terminal,
- wherein the packets are repetitively broadcasted in a certain cycle.
