Abstract
[Object] To achieve more flexible DRX. [Solution] Provided is a communication control apparatus including: a selection unit configured to select a paging segment from a plurality of paging segments that are repeatedly present during a period having a length of a first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle for a terminal apparatus; and a control unit configured to perform paging for the terminal apparatus during the selected paging segment if performing the paging. The length of the first DRX cycle is not divisible by a length of each of the plurality of paging segments.
Claims19
A communication control apparatus, comprising:
- a selection unit configured to select a first paging segment from a plurality of paging segments that are repeatedly present during a period that has a first length equal to a second length of a first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle for a first terminal apparatus;
- and
- a control unit, configured to control paging for the first terminal apparatus in the selected first paging segment,
- wherein a remainder of a division operation of the second length of the first DRX cycle by a third length of each of the plurality of paging segments, is greater than zero.
A communication control method, comprising:
- selecting a paging segment from a plurality of paging segments that are repeatedly present during a period that has a first length equal to a second length of a first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle for a terminal apparatus;
- and
- controlling paging for the terminal apparatus in the selected paging segment,
- wherein a remainder of a division operation of the second length of the first DRX cycle by a third length of each of the plurality of paging segments, is greater than zero.
A terminal apparatus, comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating a paging segment that is selected from a plurality of paging segments,
- wherein the plurality of paging segments are repeatedly present during a period that has a first length equal to a second length of a first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle for the terminal apparatus;
- and
- a control unit configured to control a DRX operation based on the information indicating the paging segment,
- wherein a remainder of a division operation of the second length of the first DRX cycle by a third length of each of the plurality of paging segments, is greater than zero.
An information processing apparatus configured to control a terminal apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the stored instructions, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- acquire information indicating a paging segment selected from a plurality of paging segments,
- wherein the plurality of paging segments are repeatedly present during a period that has a first length equal to a second length of a first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle for the terminal apparatus;
- and
- control a DRX operation based on the information indicating the paging segment,
- wherein a remainder of a division operation of the second length of the first DRX cycle by a third length of each of the plurality of paging segments, is greater than zero.
