Abstract
In a mobile station (UE) according to the present invention, a radio link failure state determination unit determines whether or not the mobile station (UE) is in a radio link failure state, based on a downlink synchronization state and a discontinuous reception state parameter, when the mobile station (UE) is in a discontinuous reception state. The radio link failure state determination unit determines whether or not the mobile station (UE) is in the radio link failure state, based on the downlink synchronization state and a non-discontinuous reception state parameter, when the mobile station (UE) is not in the discontinuous reception state.
Claims7
A mobile station communicating with a radio base station, comprising:
- a parameter acquisition unit configured to acquire a discontinuous reception state parameter and a non-discontinuous reception state parameter from the radio base station;
- a synchronization state determination unit configured to determine a downlink synchronization state, based on a radio quality of a serving cell for the mobile station;
- a radio link failure state determination unit configured to determine whether or not the mobile station is in a radio link failure state, based on a determination result by the synchronization state determination unit;
- and
- a connection re-establishment unit configured to re-establish a connection with the radio base station, when the radio link failure state determination unit determines that the mobile station is in the radio link failure state, wherein
- the radio link failure state determination unit determines whether or not the mobile station is in the radio link failure state, based on the downlink synchronization state determined by the synchronization state determination unit and the discontinuous reception state parameter acquired by the parameter acquisition unit, when the mobile station is in a discontinuous reception state;
- and
- the radio link failure state determination unit determines whether or not the mobile station is in the radio link failure state, based on the downlink synchronization state determined by the synchronization state determination unit and the non-discontinuous reception state parameter acquired by the parameter acquisition unit, when the mobile station is not in the discontinuous reception state,
- wherein the discontinuous reception state includes reception states for receiving signals and non-reception states for not receiving signals that are set alternately and repeatedly.

A radio base station communicating with a mobile station, comprising:
- a parameter notification unit configured to notify, to the mobile station, a discontinuous reception state parameter and a non-discontinuous reception state parameter;
- wherein
- the mobile station determines whether or not the mobile station in a discontinuous reception state is in a radio link failure state based on the discontinuous reception state parameter and a downlink synchronization state;
- and
- the mobile station determines whether or not the mobile station in a non-discontinuous reception state is in the radio link failure state based on the non-discontinuous reception state parameter and the downlink synchronization state,
- wherein the discontinuous reception state includes reception states for receiving signals and non-reception states for not receiving signals that are set alternately and repeatedly.

A mobile communication method of performing communication between a radio base station and a mobile station, comprising the steps of:
- (A) notifying, from the radio base station to the mobile station, a discontinuous reception state parameter and a non-discontinuous reception state parameter;
- (B) determining, at the mobile station, a downlink synchronization state based on a radio quality of a serving cell for the mobile station;
- (C) determining, at the mobile station, whether or not the mobile station is in a radio link failure state, based on the downlink synchronization state, the discontinuous reception state parameter, and the non-discontinuous reception state parameter;
- and
- (D) re-establishing, at the mobile station, a connection with the radio base station, when the mobile station determines that the mobile station is in the radio link failure state;
- wherein
- in the step (C), the mobile station determines whether or not the mobile station is in the radio link failure state, based on the downlink synchronization state and the acquired discontinuous reception state parameter, when the mobile station is in the discontinuous reception state;
- and
- in the step (C), the mobile station determines whether or not the mobile station is in the radio link failure state, based on the downlink synchronization state and the acquired non-discontinuous reception state parameter, when the mobile station is not in the discontinuous reception state,
- wherein the discontinuous reception state includes reception states for receiving signals and non-reception states for not receiving signals that are set alternately and repeatedly.
