View Patent ↗To provide a technique related to a terminal apparatus, a method, and an integrated circuit for efficiently performing communication between a base station apparatus and the terminal apparatus by correctly managing QoS. A terminal apparatus for communicating with one or multiple base station apparatuses, the terminal apparatus including: a receiver configured to receive an RRC reconfiguration message from a base station apparatus of the one or multiple base station apparatuses; and a processing unit configured to establish an SDAP entity, and notify higher layers of a list of QoS flow identifiers corresponding to an established DRB having a DRB identity and DRB establishment information, in a case that DRB configuration including the DRB identity that is not part of configuration of the terminal apparatus, in a DRB configuration list included in the RRC reconfiguration message received by the receiver, includes SDAP entity configuration, and that a PDU session identifier associated with the SDAP configuration is not in part of configuration of the terminal apparatus.
1. A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:
a receiver configured to receive, from the base station apparatus, a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) configuration, the DRB configuration including a DRB identity to be added;
processing circuitry configured to determine a Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) entity to be established or to be reconfigured when a DRB identified by the DRB identity is added and the DRB identity of the DRB is associated to the SDAP entity; and
storage circuitry configured to store a Quality of Service (QoS) flow to DRB mapping rule for the SDAP entity which is established or reconfigured when the DRB is added, wherein
the receiver is configured to receive, from the base station apparatus, a second RRC reconfiguration message including a DRB identity to be released, and
the processing circuitry is configured to release all of a plurality of the QoS flow to DRB mapping rules for the SDAP entity that correspond to a DRB indicated by the DRB identity to be released, based on the second RRC reconfiguration message.
2. A base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:
generation circuitry configured to generate a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) configuration, the DRB configuration including a DRB identity to be added; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the first RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal apparatus, wherein
the DRB configuration is a configuration for causing the terminal apparatus to determine a Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) entity to be established or to be reconfigured when a DRB identified by the DRB identity is added and the DRB identity of the DRB is associated to the SDAP entity,
the terminal apparatus includes storage circuitry configured to store a Quality of Service (QoS) flow to DRB mapping rule for the SDAP entity which is established or reconfigured when the DRB is added,
the generation circuitry is configured to generate a second RRC reconfiguration message including a DRB identity to be released,
the transmitter is configured to transmit the second RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal apparatus, and
the second RRC reconfiguration message is a message for causing the terminal apparatus to release all of a plurality of the QoS flow to DRB mapping rules for the SDAP entity that correspond to a DRB indicated by the DRB identity to be released.
3. A method performed by a terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving, from the base station apparatus, a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a DRB configuration, the DRB configuration including a DRB identity to be added;
determining a Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) entity to be established or to be reconfigured when a DRB identified by the DRB identity is added and the DRB identity of the DRB is associated to the SDAP entity;
storing, in storage circuitry, a Quality of Service (QoS) flow to Data Radio Bearer (DRB) mapping rule for the SDAP entity which is established or reconfigured when the DRB is added;
receiving, from the base station apparatus, a second RRC reconfiguration message including a DRB identity to be released; and
releasing all of a plurality of the QoS flow to DRB mapping rules for the SDAP entity that correspond to a DRB indicated by the DRB identity to be released, based on the second RRC reconfiguration message.
4. A method performed by a base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:
generating a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) configuration, the DRB configuration including a DRB identity to be added;
transmitting the first RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal apparatus,
wherein the DRB configuration is a configuration for causing the terminal apparatus to determine a Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) entity to be established or to be reconfigured when a DRB identified by the DRB identity is added and the DRB identity of the DRB is associated to the SDAP entity, and
wherein the terminal apparatus includes storage circuitry configured to store a Quality of Service (QoS) flow to DRB mapping rule for the SDAP entity which is established or reconfigured when the DRB is added;
generating a second RRC reconfiguration message including a DRB identity to be released; and
transmitting the second RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal apparatus,
wherein the second RRC reconfiguration message is a message for causing the terminal apparatus to release all of a plurality of the QoS flow to DRB mapping rules for the SDAP entity that correspond to a DRB indicated by the DRB identity to be released.
