Abstract:
1. A method of configuring parameters used to transmit packets of data between a terminal and a radiocommunication network, using a radiocommunication device comprising a mobile station with an autonomous power supply, which method is characterized in that it comprises the steps of authorizing dynamic configuration by the terminal of parameters defining a discontinuous reception mode of said radiocommunication device when in a standby mode, after static setting of said parameters by said device, as a function of the autonomy of said device, the responsiveness required of said device, and transmission requirements of said terminal, wherein said parameters correspond to DRX parameters defining the conditions of discontinuous reception and of listening to the network by the radiocommunication device when the device is not in a communication mode, and wherein said dynamic configuration of said parameters by said terminal comprises the steps of (i) setting the specific value of each DRX parameter in said terminal, (ii) transmitting said specific values from the terminal to the radiocommunication device, and (iii) starting a location request procedure in said radiocommunication device, in order to communicate the specific values of the DRX parameters to the network from the terminal.
