Abstract

To provide a terminal apparatus, a base station apparatus, a communication method, and an integrated circuit which are capable of efficient communication. The terminal apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a message for adding a data radio bearer (DRB) including information of an EPS bearer identity, and a processing unit configured to notify to a NAS layer that the DRB indicated by the message is established and an EPS bearer identity of the established DRB in a case that the message does not include first information, and not to notify to the NAS layer that the DRB indicated by the message is established and an EPS bearer identity of the established DRB in a case that the message includes the first information.

Claims (12)

1. A terminal apparatus for communicating with one or multiple base station apparatuses, the terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Reconfiguration message including a radio bearer configuration from a base station apparatus of the one or multiple base station apparatuses; and

processing circuitry configured to perform, in an RRC Reconfiguration procedure, a radio bearer configuration process based on whether or not the radio bearer configuration includes information indicating a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) version change, wherein the information indicates whether or not the PDCP version change is required for the radio bearer configuration process.

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

generation circuitry configured to generate a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Reconfiguration message including a radio bearer configuration; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the RRC Reconfiguration message to the terminal apparatus, wherein the RRC Reconfiguration message is a message causing the terminal apparatus to perform, in an RRC Reconfiguration procedure, a radio bearer configuration process based on whether or not the radio bearer configuration includes information indicating a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) version change, wherein the information indicates whether or not the PDCP version change is required for the radio bearer configuration process.

3. A communication method applied to a terminal apparatus for communicating with one or multiple base station apparatuses, the communication method comprising the steps of:

receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Reconfiguration message including a radio bearer configuration from a base station apparatus of the one or multiple base station apparatuses; and

performing, in an RRC Reconfiguration procedure, a radio bearer configuration process based on whether or not the radio bearer configuration includes information indicating a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) version change, wherein the information indicates whether or not the PDCP version change is required for the radio bearer configuration process.

4. A communication method applied to a base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising the steps of:

generating a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Reconfiguration message including a radio bearer configuration; and

transmitting the RRC Reconfiguration message to the terminal apparatus, wherein the RRC Reconfiguration message is a message causing the terminal apparatus to perform, in an RRC Reconfiguration procedure, a radio bearer configuration process based on whether or not the radio bearer configuration includes information indicating a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) version change, wherein the information indicates whether or not the PDCP version change is required for the radio bearer configuration process.
