Abstract

The invention provides an RRC connection configuration method and a communication device, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of terminal equipment when the terminal equipment is in anRRC connection state and does not receive and transmit data. The method comprises the following steps: terminal equipment receives a first timeout parameter and a second timeout parameter sent by network equipment; wherein the second timeout moment corresponding to the second timeout parameter is later than the first timeout moment corresponding to the first timeout parameter. And then, when the MAC layer of the terminal device detects data transceiving, the terminal device enters or maintains a first working mode in an RRC connection state, and starts or restarts a first timer and a second timer at the same time. And then, when the time of the first timer reaches a first timeout moment, the terminal device enters a second working mode in the RRC connection state, and when the time of thesecond timer reaches a second timeout moment, the terminal device enters an RRC idle state, wherein the power consumption of the terminal equipment in the second working mode is lower than the power consumption of the terminal equipment in the first working mode.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present application relates to the communication field, and in particular to a radio resource control RRC connection configuration method and a communication device. Background technique

[0002] In the existing 4th generation (4G) and 5th generation (5G) mobile communication systems, such as the long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) system and the new radio interface (new radio, NR) system, when When there is no data, a terminal device, such as a mobile phone, can jump from a radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) connected state (RRC_CONNECTED) to an RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE), so as to reduce power consumption of the terminal device. Specifically, the terminal device may jump to the RRC idle state after receiving the RRC connection release signaling sent by the base station, for example, the RRC connection release signaling may be sent by an evolved node (evolved Node B, eNB) of the LTE system RRCConnectionRelease, RRCRele...
