Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes: a transmitter configured to transmit a first message for requesting resume from an inactive state to a connected state; a receiver configured to receive a second message that includes priority information for cell selection (first information) and indicates a transition to an idle state (release of connection); and a controller configured to store the first information, in which the controller determines, based on whether or not a transition from an inactive state to an idle state is triggered by reception of the second message, in a case of storing the first information, whether to store or discard the first information.

Claims (16)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a first message for requesting resume from an inactive state to a connected state;

a receiver configured to receive a second message that indicates a transition to an idle state (release of connection); and

a controller configured to, in a case that the second message includes priority information for cell selection (first information), store the first information, wherein

the controller determines, in a case of storing the first information, whether to discard the first information or not based on whether or not a transition from an inactive state to an idle state is triggered by reception of the second message.

2. A method applied to a terminal apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:

transmitting a first message for requesting resume from an inactive state to a connected state;

receiving a second message that indicates a transition to an idle state (release of connection);

storing, in a case that the second message includes priority information for cell selection (first information), the first information; and

determining, in a case of storing the first information, whether to discard the first information or not based on whether or not a transition from an inactive state to an idle state is triggered by reception of the second message.

3. An integrated circuit implemented in a terminal apparatus,

the integrated circuit causing the terminal apparatus to perform:

transmitting a first message for requesting resume from an inactive state to a connected state;

receiving a second message that indicates a transition to an idle state (release of connection);

storing, in a case that the second message includes priority information for cell selection (first information), the first information; and

determining, in a case of storing the first information, whether to discard the first information or not based on whether or not a transition from an inactive state to an idle state is triggered by reception of the second message.
