Abstract
An apparatus includes multi-flow communicating means adapted to perform a communication with a UE including a portion of a multi-flow communication to the UE; evaluating means adapted to evaluate the communication with the UE; and providing means adapted to provide a DTX/DRX information based on the evaluation. The DTX/DRX information is related to at least one of a discontinuous transmission state and a discontinuous reception state of the UE. The instructing means is adapted to instruct the multi-flow communicating means to send DTX/DRX activation request with respect to the at least one of the discontinuous transmission state and the discontinuous reception state according to the DTX/DRX information to the UE. The storing means is adapted to store a status information, wherein the status information includes the at least one of the discontinuous transmission state and the discontinuous reception state corresponding to the instruction by the instructing means.
