Method and Apparatus for Managing Downlink Discontinuous Reception Operation in a Wireless Communications System
First Claim
1. A method of managing downlink discontinuous reception corresponding to paging operation for a user equipment of a wireless communications system, the method comprising:
- initiating a radio resource control, hereinafter called RRC, connection establishment procedure to request a network terminal for an RRC connection;
receiving a request accepting message from the network terminal, the request accepting message comprising a first information element, configured for indicating an RRC state for the user equipment to enter, and a second information element, configured for providing configuration corresponding to the downlink discontinuous reception; and
ignoring the second information element when the indicated RRC state is an RRC state for allocation of dedicated radio resources.

Abstract
A method for managing downlink discontinuous reception associated with paging for a user equipment of a wireless communications system is provided in order to avoid system malfunction due to inappropriate use of configuration. The method includes initiating a radio resource control, hereinafter called RRC, connection establishment procedure to request a network terminal for an RRC connection, receiving a request accepting message including a first information element for indicating the UE an assigned RRC state to be entered and a second information element for providing configuration corresponding to the downlink discontinuous reception, and ignoring the second information element when the assigned RRC state is a state for allocation of dedicated radio resources.
