Abstract

An objective is to prohibit retransmission of “UE assistance information”. A mobile communication method according to the present invention includes the steps of: transmitting “UE assistance information” to a radio base station (eNB) by a mobile station (UE), the “UE assistance information” prompting the radio base station (eNB) to change a parameter for the mobile station UE used in the radio base station; notifying, by the radio base station (eNB), the mobile station (UE) of a transmission-prohibited period of the “UE assistance information”; and stopping, by the mobile station (UE), retransmission of the “UE assistance information” on the basis of the transmission-prohibited period.

Claims

1. A mobile communication method comprising the steps of:

transmitting mobile station assistance information to a radio base station by a mobile station, the mobile station assistance information prompting the radio base station to change a parameter for the mobile station used in the radio base station;

notifying, by the radio base station, the mobile station of a transmission-prohibited period of the mobile station assistance information; and

stopping, by the mobile station, retransmission of the mobile station assistance information on the basis of the transmission-prohibited period.

2. A mobile communication method comprising the steps of:

transmitting mobile station assistance information to a radio base station by a mobile station, the mobile station assistance information prompting the radio base station to change a parameter for the mobile station used in the radio base station;

notifying, by the radio base station, the mobile station of the number of transmissions permitted for the mobile station assistance information; and

when the number of retransmissions of the mobile station assistance information reaches the number of transmissions permitted, stopping, by the mobile station, the retransmission of the mobile station assistance information.

3. A mobile communication method comprising the steps of:

transmitting mobile station assistance information to a radio base station by a mobile station, the mobile station assistance information prompting the radio base station to change a parameter for the mobile station used in the radio base station;

transmitting a dedicated signaling to the mobile station by the radio base station, the dedicated signaling indicating retransmission prohibition of the mobile station assistance information; and

stopping, by the mobile station, the retransmission of the mobile station assistance information on the basis of the dedicated signaling.

4. A mobile station comprising:

a transmitter unit configured to transmit mobile station assistance information to a radio base station, the mobile station assistance information prompting the radio base station to change a parameter for the mobile station used in the radio base station; and

a receiver unit configured to acquire a transmission-prohibited period of the mobile station assistance information from the radio base station, wherein

the transmitter unit stops retransmission of the mobile station assistance information on the basis of the transmission-prohibited period.

5. A mobile station comprising:

a transmitter unit configured to transmit mobile station assistance information to a radio base station, the mobile station assistance information prompting the radio base station to change a parameter for the mobile station used in the radio base station; and

a receiver unit configured to acquire the number of transmissions permitted for the mobile station assistance information from the radio base station, wherein

when the number of retransmissions of the mobile station assistance information reaches the number of transmissions permitted, the transmitter unit stops the retransmission of the mobile station assistance information.

6. A mobile station comprising:

a transmitter unit configured to transmit mobile station assistance information to a radio base station, the mobile station assistance information prompting the radio base station to change a parameter for the mobile station used in the radio base station; and

a receiver unit configured to receive a dedicated signaling from the radio base station, the dedicated signaling indicating retransmission prohibition of the mobile station assistance information, wherein

the transmitter unit stops the retransmission of the mobile station assistance information on the basis of the dedicated signaling.
