Device and method of handling packet routing

1. A communication device for handling a packet routing, comprising:

at least one storage device; and

at least one processing circuit, coupled to the at least one storage device, wherein the at least one storage device stores, and the at least one processing circuit is configured to execute instructions of:

communicating with a base station (BS) on a signaling radio bearer (SRB);

receiving a first radio resource control (RRC) Reconfiguration message from the BS on the SRB, wherein the first RRC Reconfiguration message configures a first data radio bearer (DRB) and configures a local cache routing configuration;

receiving a second RRC Reconfiguration message from the BS on the SRB, wherein the second RRC Reconfiguration message configures a second DRB;

transmitting a first protocol data unit (PDU) to the BS on the first DRB, wherein the communication device indicates a local cache routing in a PDU header of the first PDU when the local cache routing configuration is configured by the BS;

transmitting a second PDU to the BS on the second DRB, wherein the communication device does not indicate the local cache routing in the second PDU;

transmitting a first RRC Reconfiguration Complete message to the BS on the SRB, in response to the first RRC Reconfiguration message; and

transmitting a second RRC Reconfiguration Complete message to the BS on the SRB, in response to the second RRC Reconfiguration message.

2. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

indicating the local cache routing in the PDU header of the first PDU, when the local cache routing configuration is configured by the BS and the communication device determines a packet in a data field of the first PDU to be routed by the BS to a local cache server.

3. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

transmitting a third PDU to the BS on the first DRB, wherein the communication device does not indicate the local cache routing in the third PDU when the local cache routing configuration is configured by the BS and the communication device determines a packet in a data field of the third PDU to be routed by the BS to a core network.

4. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

transmitting a user equipment (UE) capability information indicating a support of the local cache routing configuration to the BS, before receiving the first RRC Reconfiguration message.

5. A communication device for handling a packet routing, comprising:

at least one storage device; and

at least one processing circuit, coupled to the at least one storage device, wherein the at least one storage device stores, and the at least one processing circuit is configured to execute instructions of:

communicating with a first base station (BS) on a signaling radio bearer (SRB);

receiving a first radio resource control (RRC) Reconfiguration message from the first BS on the SRB, wherein the first RRC Reconfiguration message configures a first data radio bearer (DRB);

transmitting a first RRC Reconfiguration Complete message to the first BS on the SRB, in response to the first RRC Reconfiguration message;

receiving a second RRC Reconfiguration message from the first BS on the SRB, wherein the second RRC Reconfiguration message configures a second DRB;

transmitting a second RRC Reconfiguration Complete message to the first BS on the SRB, in response to the second RRC Reconfiguration message;

receiving a third RRC Reconfiguration message from the first BS on the SRB, wherein the third RRC Reconfiguration message configures a local cache routing configuration;

transmitting a third RRC Reconfiguration Complete message to the first BS on the SRB, in response to the third RRC Reconfiguration message;

transmitting a first Protocol Data Unit (PDU) to the first BS on the first DRB, wherein the communication device indicates a local cache routing in a PDU header of the first PDU when the local cache routing configuration is configured by the BS; and

transmitting a second PDU to the first BS on the second DRB, wherein the communication device does not indicate the local cache routing in the second PDU.

6. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

transmitting a RRC message to the first BS on the SRB, wherein the RRC message indicates a support of the local cache routing configuration or comprises a local cache routing request.

7. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

transmitting a third PDU to the first BS on the first DRB, wherein the communication device does not indicate the local cache routing in the third PDU when the local cache routing configuration is configured by the first BS and the communication device determines a packet in a data field of the third PDU to be routed by the first BS to a core network.

8. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

receiving a handover command for handing over the communication device from the first BS to a second BS, from the first BS; and

keeping the local cache routing configuration in response to the handover command.

9. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

receiving a secondary node (SN) RRC Reconfiguration message changing the communication device from connecting to the first BS to connecting to a third BS, from the first BS, when the communication device communicates with the first BS and a fourth BS; and

releasing the local cache routing configuration according to the SN RRC Reconfiguration message.

10. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

performing a RRC connection reestablishment procedure according to a failure;

keeping the local cache routing configuration and suspending the first DRB, in response to the RRC connection reestablishment procedure; and

transmitting a fourth PDU to the first BS on the first DRB according to the local cache routing configuration after resuming the first DRB, wherein the communication device indicates the local cache routing in a PDU header of the fourth PDU.
