Abstract

A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus including: a receiver configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including data radio bearer (DRB) configuration from the base station apparatus; and a processing unit, wherein service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration is included in the DRB configuration, and the processing unit determines whether to establish an SDAP entity, based on information for identifying a protocol data unit (PDU) session associated with the SDAP configuration.

Claims (24)

1. A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including data radio bearer (DRB) configuration from the base station apparatus; and

a processing unit, wherein

a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration is included in the DRB configuration, and

the processing unit is configured to:

determine whether information for identifying a protocol data unit (PDU) session associated with the SDAP configuration is not part of a current terminal apparatus configuration, and

establish an SDAP entity, in a case that the information is not part of the current terminal apparatus configuration.

2. A base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including data radio bearer (DRB) configuration to the terminal apparatus, wherein

a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration is included in the DRB configuration, and

the base station apparatus is configured to cause the terminal apparatus to:

determine whether information for identifying a protocol data unit (PDU) session associated with the SDAP configuration is not part of a current terminal apparatus configuration, and

establish an SDAP entity, in a case that the information is not part of the current terminal apparatus configuration.

3. A communication method used by a terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the communication method comprising:

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including data radio bearer (DRB) configuration from the base station apparatus, wherein

a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration is included in the DRB configuration;

determining whether information for identifying a protocol data unit (PDU) session associated with the SDAP configuration is not part of a current terminal apparatus configuration; and

establishing an SDAP entity, in a case that the information is not part of the current terminal apparatus configuration.

4. A communication method used by a base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising:

transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including data radio bearer (DRB) configuration to the terminal apparatus, wherein

a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration is included in the DRB configuration; and

causing the terminal apparatus is caused to:

determine whether information for identifying a protocol data unit (PDU) session associated with the SDAP configuration is not part of a current terminal apparatus configuration, and

establish an SDAP entity, in a case that the information is not part of the current terminal apparatus configuration.
