Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de transmission d'informations et un dispositif de communication. Le procédé comprend : la réception par un premier dispositif de réseau d'accès de premières informations en provenance d'un dispositif de réseau central, les premières informations étant utilisées par le premier dispositif de réseau d'accès afin de déterminer un contexte d'un dispositif terminal ; l'utilisation du contexte par le premier dispositif de réseau d'accès afin d'envoyer des données de liaison descendante au dispositif terminal ; et la suspension du contexte ; la détermination par le premier dispositif de réseau d'accès du contexte en fonction des premières informations ; et l'envoi par le premier dispositif de réseau d'accès des données de liaison descendante au dispositif terminal en fonction du contexte. Selon le procédé de transmission d'informations de la présente invention, le dispositif de réseau central notifie au premier dispositif de réseau d'accès des premières informations utilisées pour le premier dispositif de réseau d'accès afin de déterminer le contexte du dispositif terminal. Le premier dispositif de réseau d'accès peut restaurer le contexte du dispositif terminal en fonction des premières informations, de telle sorte que, lorsque les données de liaison descendante envoyées par le dispositif de réseau central sont reçues, les données de liaison descendante puissent être envoyées au dispositif terminal en fonction du contexte. Les données de liaison descendante peuvent être envoyées au dispositif terminal plus tôt, ce qui permet de réduire les surcharges de consommation d'énergie due à la réception des données de liaison descendante par le dispositif terminal, d'améliorer l'efficacité et la fiabilité de transmission de données de liaison descendante, et d'améliorer ainsi l'efficacité de communication.
