Patent number: 11641690Abstract: A high-speed communication system etc. are provided in New Radio (NR) and LTE. When a secondary base station device detects a data inactive state for all bearers, the secondary base station device notifies a master base station device of occurrence of the data inactive state regardless of absence of an inquiry from the master base station device. The data inactive state is a state in which downlink data for a communication terminal device is inactive. When the master base station device receives the notification about the occurrence of the data inactive state, the master base station device transmits a command to the communication terminal device to transition from an RRC_CONNECTED state to an RRC_INACTIVE state. Based on the command from the master base station device, the communication terminal device transitions to the RRC_INACTIVE state.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2021Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Tadahiro Shimoda, Mitsuru Mochizuki
