  • Patent number: 9820227
    Abstract: The power consumption of a mobile station is reduced according to the conditions of use by a user without stopping packet communication necessary for the user. In a program for a base station apparatus, a request for establishing radio connection and information indicating the conditions of use of the mobile station apparatus are acquired from the mobile station apparatus (step S1). When the information indicating the conditions of use indicates the use of the mobile station apparatus, a first timer is set for a relatively long time whereas when the information indicating the conditions of use indicates the non-use of the mobile station apparatus, the first timer is set for a relatively short time.

  • Publication number: 20160014790
    Abstract: A plurality of MTC devices can connect to a base station device efficiently. The base station device allocates first radio resource for allowing transmission of data to, among MTC devices in a predetermined group that transmit data to the base station device using a common application data format, communication devices having a path loss less than a threshold for notification information transmitted from the base station device. The base station device allocates second radio resource for allowing transmission of data to communication devices having the path loss equal to or greater than the threshold. The communication devices having the path loss less than the threshold transmit the data to the base station device using the first radio resource. Each of the communication devices having the path loss equal to or greater than the threshold transmit the data to the base station device using the second radio resource.

  • Publication number: 20150264668
    Abstract: A plurality of MTC devices can connect to a base station device efficiently. The base station device receives a request signal for requesting access to the base station device from MTC devices in group A that can transmit data to the base station device using a predetermined application data format. The base station device allocates radio resource to an MTC device operating as a gateway, among the MTC devices in group A. The MTC device operating as a gateway receives video data from an MTC device not operating as a gateway in group A. The base station device transmits the video data received from the MTC device not operating as a gateway to the base station device using the allocated radio resource.
