Abstract

The present disclosure provides a control method in user equipment and user equipment. The control method in user equipment includes: transmitting, to a base station, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reestablishment request message for requesting RRC connection reestablishment; receiving an RRC connection reestablishment response message transmitted by the base station as a response to the RRC connection reestablishment request message; when the RRC connection reestablishment response message indicates that RRC connection reestablishment is performed, a UE RRC layer performs an RRC connection reestablishment operation; and when the RRC connection reestablishment response message is an RRC connection establishment message used to instruct the UE to establish a new RRC connection, the UE RRC layer performs an RRC connection establishment operation, and a UE NAS layer initiates an NAS connection recovery procedure.

Claims (24)

1. A User Equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the UE to:

transmit a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reestablishment request message;

receive an RRC connection setup message in response to the RRC connection reestablishment request message, the RRC connection setup message being used to instruct the UE to establish a new RRC connection;

when an RRC layer of the UE receives the RRC connection setup message:

release radio resources including associated Radio Link Control (RLC) entities, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entities, and Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) for all established radio bearers which do not include a Signaling Radio Bearer 0 (SRB0),

indicate, by the RRC layer, an RRC connection reestablishment fallback indication to a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) layer of the UE,

apply configurations included in the RRC connection setup message, the configurations including master cell group configurations and radio bearer configuration, and

submit an RRC connection setup complete message to a lower layer for transmission; and

when the NAS layer receives the RRC connection reestablishment fallback indication from the RRC layer:

enter into a 5G system Mobility Management idle (5GMM-IDLE) mode, and

initiate a registration update procedure or a service request procedure.

2. A control method performed by a User Equipment (UE), the control method comprising:

transmitting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reestablishment request message;

receiving an RRC connection setup message in response to the RRC connection reestablishment request message, the RRC connection setup message being used to instruct the UE to establish a new RRC connection;

when an RRC layer of the UE receives the RRC connection setup message:

releasing radio resources including associated Radio Link Control (RLC) entities, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entities, and Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) for all established radio bearers which do not include a Signaling Radio Bearer 0 (SRB0),

indicating, by the RRC layer, an RRC connection reestablishment fallback indication to a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) layer of the UE,

applying configurations included in the RRC connection setup message, the configurations including master cell group configurations and radio bearer configuration, and

submitting an RRC connection setup complete message to a lower layer for transmission; and

when the NAS layer receives the RRC connection reestablishment fallback indication from the RRC layer:

entering into a 5G system Mobility Management idle (5GMM-IDLE) mode; and

initiating a registration update procedure or a service request procedure.
