Abstract:
1. A radio terminal unit which runs in power-saving mode and sends a radio base station a control packet for requesting delivery so as to receive packets buffered by the radio base station, comprising: a communication control section for controlling a radio interface section to transmit the control packet using a timer value; and a timer control section that sets the timer value, wherein the timer value is unrelated to a beacon interval when an operation mode of the radio terminal unit transitions from a first mode to a second mode, and the timer value is synchronized with the beacon interval when the radio terminal unit transitions from the second mode to the first mode, and wherein the first mode is that real-time processing is unnecessary for communication applications which are running on the radio terminal unit and the second mode is that real-time processing is necessary for one or more of the communication applications running on the radio terminal unit.
