Abstract

Disclosed are reporting and controlling methods for DRX (Discontinuous Reception) parameter and terminal moving velocity and devices thereof, which are used to decrease the network resource wasting and reduce the terminal power consumption. The reporting and controlling method for DRX parameter includes the following steps: the network side sends indication information which indicates whether the terminal is permitted to report DRX reference parameter or DRX parameter configuration advice to the terminal, and the indication information is used to indicate the terminal to report DRX reference parameter or DRX parameter configuration advice when it receives the indication for permitting reporting reference parameter or DRX parameter configuration advice, and not report DRX reference parameter or DRX configuration advice when it receives the indication for not permitting reporting reference parameter or DRX configuration advice. The method for reporting and controlling terminal moving velocity includes the following steps: sending indication information which indicates whether the terminal is permitted to report moving velocity to the terminal, or sending indication information which indicates the terminal to report moving velocity when it switches from idle state to connection state to the terminal.
