  • Publication number: 20210022054
    Abstract: A wireless communication device is provided which allows proper management of location information for a terminal moving in the air to reduce the power consumption of the terminal and to prevent the terminal from affecting communication. A wireless communication device is provided which includes a determination unit that determines whether the device is a device moving on the ground or a device moving in the air, a neighboring cell determination unit that determines whether or not identification information of a paging area acquired through common information transmitted from a base station is the same as identification information of a paging area for which an update was performed last time when the determination unit determines that the device is moving in the air, and a control unit that determines presence or absence of need for a paging area update on the basis of a condition for initiating a paging area update when the determination unit determines that the device is moving in the air.
