Abstract
The present invention provides: a method for switching an RRC state; an eNB; and a UE. The eNB (104) of the present invention includes: a sending/receiving unit (1040) for carrying out data communication with one or more MBMS•UEs in a cell; a calculation unit (1042) for calculating the number of RRC connections currently available in a system; an execution determination unit (1044) for determining whether or not a switchover of an RRC state of the one or more MBMS•UEs is necessary, on the basis of the number of RRC connections currently available in the system and a threshold value of the number of RRC connections; a request unit (1046) for transmitting, via the sending/receiving unit (1040), a measurement report request to all of the one or more MBMS•UEs in the cell, in a case where the execution determination unit (1044) determines that the switchover of the RRC state of the MBMS•UE(s) is necessary; and an accurate value determination unit (1048) for (i) determining an accurate reference measurement threshold value with respect to a parameter on the basis of the threshold value of the number of the RRC connections and data of a measured parameter, received via the sending/receivi…
