Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method executed at UE, including: determining initiation of a radio resource control (RRC) connection reestablishment procedure or leaving RRC connected state; and performing the following operations on each of at least one cell group: suspending a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) operation and/or storing an SDAP configuration in a corresponding cell group configuration; or releasing an SDAP entity used to execute the SDAP operation and/or the SDAP configuration in the corresponding cell group configuration. The present disclosure further provides corresponding UE.

Claims (13)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

entering a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state; and

storing a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration,

wherein the SDAP configuration includes a protocol data unit (PDU) session identifier associated with an SDAP entity and quality of service (QoS) flow mapping rules to a Data Radio Bearer (DRB).

2. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

upon entering a radio resource control (RRC) idle state, releasing associated service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) for all established radio bearers.

3. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

storing circuitry; and

state controlling circuitry, wherein:

the state controlling circuitry is configured to cause the UE to enter a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state;

the storing circuitry is configured to store a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration; and

the SDAP configuration includes a protocol data unit (PDU) session identifier associated with an SDAP entity and quality of service (QoS) flow mapping rules to a Data Radio Bearer (DRB).

4. A user equipment (UE), comprising releasing circuitry, wherein upon entering a radio resource control (RRC) idle state, the releasing circuitry is configured to release associated service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) for all established radio bearers.
