Abstract
A method for managing downlink discontinuous reception associated with paging for a user equipment of a wireless communications system is provided in order to avoid system malfunction due to inappropriate use of configuration. The method includes initiating a radio resource control, hereinafter called RRC, connection establishment procedure to request a network terminal for an RRC connection, receiving a request accepting message including a first information element for indicating the UE an assigned RRC state to be entered and a second information element for providing configuration corresponding to the downlink discontinuous reception, and ignoring the second information element when the assigned RRC state is a state for allocation of dedicated radio resources.
