Method for reporting buffer status and communication device thereof

1. A method for reporting buffer status, comprising:

receiving a connectivity configuration on dual connectivities to a first base station and a second base station, the connectivity configuration indicates that a first connectivity of the dual connectivities is related to the first base station and a second connected of the dual connectivities is related to the second base station;

receiving a bearer configuration, the bearer configuration indicates that a first bearer is associated with the first connectivity and a second bearer is associated with the second connectivity;

identifying a change of a radio bearer,

wherein the identifying the change of the radio bearer comprises receiving a reconfiguration information indicating that an association of the second radio bearer is changed from the second connectivity to the first connectivity; and

triggering a buffer status report (BSR), if the association of the second radio bearer is changed from the second connectivity to the first connectivity.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

connecting with the first base station via a first MAC entity; and

connecting with the second base station via a second MAC entity.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the radio bearer is served by the first MAC entity.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the identifying the change of radio bearer comprises:

identifying whether the radio bearer is changed to be served by the second MAC entity or to be served by both the first and second MAC entities.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the radio bearer is served by both the first and second MAC entities.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the identifying the change of radio bearer comprises:

identifying whether the radio bearer is changed to be served by the second MAC entity.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the triggering the BSR comprises:

triggering, by the second MAC entity, the BSR.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the BSR is for the second base station.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the triggering the BSR further comprises:

triggering, by the first MAC entity, the BSR.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the BSR is for the first base station.

11. The method of claim 2 , wherein the connecting with the first base station includes:

connecting, by the first MAC entity, with a first cell of the first base station; and

connecting, by the first MAC entity, with a second cell of the first base station.

12. The method of claim 2 , wherein the connecting with the second base station includes:

connecting, by the second MAC entity, with a first cell of the second base station; and

connecting, by the second MAC entity, with a second cell of the second base station.

13. The method of claim 2 , wherein

if the first base station operates a plurality of cells, the first MAC entity handles the plurality of cells; and

if the second base station operates a plurality of cells, the second MAC entity handles the plurality of cells.

14. A communication device configured for reporting buffer status, the communication device comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor connected with the RF unit thereby to control to:

receive a connectivity configuration on dual connectivities to a first base station and a second base station, the connectivity configuration indicates that a first connectivity of the dual connectivities is related to the first base station and a second connected of the dual connectivities is related to the second base station;

receive a bearer configuration, the bearer configuration indicates that a first bearer is associated with the first connectivity and a second bearer is associated with the second connectivity;

identify a change of a radio bearer,

wherein the change of the radio bearer indicates that an association of the second radio bearer is changed from the second connectivity to the first connectivity; and

trigger a buffer status report (BSR), if the association of the second radio bearer is changed from the second connectivity to the first connectivity.

15. The communication device of claim 14 , wherein the RF unit is configured to

connect with the first base station via a first MAC entity; and

connect with the second base station via a second MAC entity.

16. The communication device of claim 15 , wherein

the radio bearer is served by the first MAC entity.

17. The communication device of claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to:

identify whether the radio bearer is changed to be served by the second MAC entity or to be served by both the first and second MAC entities.
