Abstract

The present disclosure provides a control method for user equipment and user equipment. The control method for user equipment (UE) includes: receiving, by the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message from a base station; and if the RRC reconfiguration message includes radio link monitoring configuration information, if a fast handover failure recovery timer is running, stopping the fast handover failure recovery timer.

Claims (35)

1 - 10 . (canceled)

11 . A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

receiving circuitry configured to receive a first RRC reconfiguration message including a first information element (IE); and

configuring circuitry configured to stop a timer T 312 if the timer T 312 is running and if any of the reference signal(s) that are used for radio link monitoring are reconfigured by the received first IE,

wherein the timer T 312 is associated with a measurement configuration corresponding to a cell group,

the timer T 312 is started based on a triggering of a measurement report for a measurement identity for which the timer T 312 has been configured, and

the first IE is used to configure parameters for a special cell of the cell group and the cell group is either a master cell group (MCG) or a secondary cell group (SCG).

12 . The UE according to claim 11 , wherein:

the receiving circuitry is configured to receive a second RRC reconfiguration message including a second information element (IE),

the configuring circuitry is configured to stop the timer T 312 for a corresponding cell group if the second IE is not set to “release” and if the timer T 312 for the corresponding cell group is running, and

the second IE is used to configure timers and constants for detecting and triggering a cell-level radio link failure and the cell group is either the MCG or the SCG.

13 . The UE according to claim 11 , wherein:

the configuring circuitry is configured to stop the timer T 312 upon initiation of an MCG failure information procedure that is used to inform a network that the UE encounters an MCG failure.

14 . A base station comprising:

transmitting circuitry configured to transmit a first RRC reconfiguration message including a first information element (IE);

wherein if the timer T 312 is running and if any of the reference signal(s) that are used for radio link monitoring are reconfigured by the received first IE, the first IE causes a User Equipment (UE) to stop the timer T 312 ,

the timer T 312 is associated with a measurement configuration corresponding to a cell group,

the timer T 312 is started based on a triggering of a measurement report for a measurement identity for which the timer T 312 has been configured, and

the first IE is used to configure parameters for a special cell of the cell group and the cell group is either a master cell group (MCG) or a secondary cell group (SCG).

15 . The base station according to claim 14 , wherein:

the transmitting circuitry is configured to transmit a second RRC reconfiguration message including a second information element (IE),

if the second IE is not set to “release” and if the timer T 312 for a corresponding cell group is running, the second IE causes the UE to stop the timer T 312 for the corresponding cell group, and

the second IE is used to configure timers and constants for detecting and triggering a cell-level radio link failure and the cell group is either the MCG or the SCG.

16 . A method at a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving a first RRC reconfiguration message including a first information element (IE); and

stopping a timer T 312 if the timer T 312 is running and if any of the reference signal(s) that are used for radio link monitoring are reconfigured by the received first IE,

wherein the timer T 312 is associated with a measurement configuration corresponding to a cell group,

the timer T 312 is started based on a triggering of a measurement report for a measurement identity for which the timer T 312 has been configured, and

the first IE is used to configure parameters for a special cell of the cell group and the cell group is either a master cell group (MCG) or a secondary cell group (SCG).

17 . A method at a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting a first RRC reconfiguration message including a first information element (IE);

wherein if the timer T 312 is running and if any of the reference signal(s) that are used for radio link monitoring are reconfigured by the received first IE, the first IE causes a User Equipment (UE) to stop the timer T 312 ,

the timer T 312 is associated with a measurement configuration corresponding to a cell group,

the timer T 312 is started based on a triggering of a measurement report for a measurement identity for which the timer T 312 has been configured, and

the first IE is used to configure parameters for a special cell of the cell group and the cell group is either a master cell group (MCG) or a secondary cell group (SCG).
