Communication device, communication system, and communication method
First Claim
1. A communication device transmitting a paging message to a terminal that, in response to receiving the paging message, transmits a control signal for connecting to a network, the communication device comprising:
- a controller that, in response to being requested to transmit the paging message to a plurality of terminals, determines a time by which transmission of the control signal is delayed, for each of the plurality of terminals; and
a transmitter that transmits the paging message including an instruction to store predetermined information in the control signal, to each of the plurality of terminals,wherein the controller randomly determines the time by which transmission of the control signal is delayed, from a time range determined by an upper limit and a lower limit of the time by which transmission of the control signal is delayed, for each of the plurality of terminals.

Abstract
The objective of the invention is to suppress increases in a C-Plane processing load on a mobile network side even if requests to call a plurality of terminals in the mobile network are generated within a short period of time. A communication device according to one mode of embodiment of the present invention is a communication device which transmits a paging message to a terminal that transmits a control signal for connecting to a network in response to receiving the paging message, wherein the communication device includes: a control unit which, in response to being requested to transmit paging messages to a plurality of terminals, determines, for each of the plurality of terminals, a time period for delaying transmission of the control signal; and a transmitting unit which transmits, to each of the plurality of terminals, the respective paging message including the time period by which the transmission of the control signal is to be delayed.

9. A communication method in a communication device transmitting a paging message to a terminal that, in response to receiving the paging message, transmits a control signal for connecting to a network, the communication method comprising:
-
determining a time by which transmission of the control signal is delayed, in response to being requested to transmit the paging message to a plurality of terminals, for each of the terminals; and transmitting the paging message including an instruction to store predetermined information in the control signal, to each of the plurality of terminals, wherein, in the determining, the time by which transmission of the control signal is delayed is randomly determined from a time range determined by an upper limit and a lower limit of the time by which transmission of the control signal is delayed, for each of the plurality of terminals. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
