Abstract

Uplink data is transmitted efficiently. A terminal device configured to: in a case that a difference between an uplink transmission timing for a Timing Advance Group including a primary cell of a master cell group and an uplink transmission timing for a Secondary Timing Advance Group of a secondary cell group exceeds a maximum transmission timing difference, consider that a timer for the Secondary Timing Advance Group of the secondary cell group has expired and stop transmission on a physical uplink shared channel in the Secondary Timing Advance Group of the secondary cell group.

Claims (22)

1. A terminal device configured to communicate with a base station device in a dual connectivity, the terminal device comprising:

transmission circuitry configured to perform a transmission of a physical uplink shared channel as an uplink transmission, and

control circuitry, wherein

the control circuitry is configured to consider that a timer for a secondary timing advance group of a secondary cell group as expired, and stop the uplink transmission of the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group:

in a first case where a difference between an uplink transmission timing for a timing advance group including a primary cell of a master cell group and an uplink transmission timing for the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group exceeds a maximum transmission timing difference, or

in a second case that a difference between an uplink transmission timing for a timing advance group including a primary secondary cell of the secondary cell group and an uplink transmission timing for the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group exceeds the maximum transmission timing difference.

2. A base station device configured to communicate with a terminal device in a dual connectivity, the base station device comprising:

reception circuitry configured to perform a reception of a physical uplink shared channel as an uplink transmission, and

control circuitry, wherein

the control circuitry is configured to consider that a timer for a secondary timing advance group of a secondary cell group as expired, and consider the uplink transmission of the secondary timing advanced group of the secondary cell group as stopped:

in a first case that a difference between an uplink transmission timing for a timing advance group including a primary cell of a master cell group and an uplink transmission timing for the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group exceeds a maximum transmission timing difference, or

in a second case that a difference between an uplink transmission timing for a timing advance group including a primary secondary cell of the secondary cell group and an uplink transmission timing for the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group exceeds the maximum transmission timing difference.

3. A communication method of a terminal device configured to communicate with a base station device in a dual connectivity, the communication method comprising:

performing a transmission of a physical uplink shared channel as an uplink transmission, and

considering a timer for a secondary timing advance group of a secondary cell group as being expired, and stopping the uplink transmission of the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group:

in a first case that a difference between an uplink transmission timing for a timing advance group including a primary cell of a master cell group and an uplink transmission timing for the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group exceeds a maximum transmission timing difference, or

in a second case that a difference between an uplink transmission timing for a timing advance group including a primary secondary cell of the secondary cell group and an uplink transmission timing for the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group exceeds the maximum transmission timing difference.

4. A communication method of a base station device configured to communicate with a terminal device in a dual connectivity, the communication method comprising:

performing a reception of a physical uplink shared channel as an uplink transmission, and

considering a timer for a secondary timing advance group of a secondary cell group as being expired, and considering the uplink transmission of the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group as being stopped:

in a first case that a difference between an uplink transmission timing for a timing advance group including a primary cell of a master cell group and an uplink transmission timing for the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group exceeds a maximum transmission timing difference, or

in a second case that a difference between an uplink transmission timing for a timing advance group including a primary secondary cell of the secondary cell group and an uplink transmission timing for the secondary timing advance group of the secondary cell group exceeds the maximum transmission timing difference.
