Abstract

Provided is a technology for a terminal apparatus, a base station apparatus, a method, and an integrated circuit which enable efficient communication with reduced complexity of protocol processing. A processing unit is included, the processing unit being configured to, in a case that release of an E-UTRA secondary cell group in MR-DC is triggered from NR, for an RLC bearer of a secondary cell group configured by the terminal apparatus, re-establish an RLC entity, release an RLC entity, and release a logical channel.

Claims (18)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

processing circuitry configured to, in a case of requesting RRC connection re-establishment or RRC resuming to a base station apparatus,

trigger a release of an E-UTRA secondary cell group in MR-DC based on a fact that NE-DC is configured to the terminal apparatus, and

re-establish an RLC entity, release the RLC entity, and release logical channel for each RLC bearer configured in the E-UTRA secondary cell group in the MR-DC based on a fact that the release of the E-UTRA secondary cell group in the MR-DC is triggered.

2. A base station apparatus comprising:

receiving circuitry configured to receive a request for RRC connection re-establishment or RRC resuming from a terminal apparatus, wherein

in a case of receiving the request for RRC connection re-establishment or RRC resuming,

a release of an E-UTRA secondary cell group in MR-DC is triggered based on a fact that NE-DC is configured to the terminal apparatus, and

an RLC entity is re-established, the RLC entity is released, and logical channel is released for each RLC bearer configured in the E-UTRA secondary cell group in the MR-DC based on a fact that the release of the E-UTRA secondary cell group in the MR-DC is triggered.

3. A method of a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

in a case of requesting RRC connection re-establishment or RRC resuming to a base station apparatus,

triggering a release of an E-UTRA secondary cell group in MR-DC based on a fact that NE-DC is configured to the terminal apparatus, and

re-establishing an RLC entity, releasing the RLC entity, and releasing logical channel for each RLC bearer configured in the E-UTRA secondary cell group in the MR-DC based on a fact that the release of the E-UTRA secondary cell group in the MR-DC is triggered.

4. A method of a base station apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving a request for RRC connection re-establishment or RRC resuming from a terminal apparatus, wherein

in a case of receiving the request for RRC connection re-establishment or RRC resuming,

a release of an E-UTRA secondary cell group in MR-DC is triggered based on a fact that NE-DC is configured to the terminal apparatus, and

an RLC entity is re-established, the RLC entity is released, and logical channel is released for each RLC bearer configured in the E-UTRA secondary cell group in the MR-DC based on a fact that the release of the E-UTRA secondary cell group in the MR-DC is triggered.
