Abstract

A wireless device receives, from a first base station associated with a master cell group (MCG) comprising a primary cell (PCell), a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising secondary cell group, SCG, configuration parameters of a primary SCG cell, PSCell, of a second base station. Based on the PCell failing after receiving the SCG configuration parameters and before the SCG configuration parameters of the PSCell are applied, the wireless device performs a cell selection. In response to the selected cell being the PSCell, the wireless device synchronizes with the PSCell based on the SCG configuration parameters.

Claims (43)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, from a first base station associated with a master cell group (MCG) comprising a primary cell (PCell), a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising secondary cell group (SCG) configuration parameters of a primary SCG cell (PSCell) of a second base station;

based on a PCell failing after receiving the SCG configuration parameters and before the SCG configuration parameters of the PSCell are applied, performing a cell selection; and

in response to the selected cell being the PSCell, synchronizing with the PSCell based on the SCG configuration parameters.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing the cell selection comprises selecting the selected cell based on a received signal power value of the selected cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the synchronizing comprises performing a random access procedure with the PSCell based on the SCG configuration parameters.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the synchronizing does not comprise performing a random access procedure with the PSCell.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the SCG configuration parameters comprise an indication to skip the random access procedure.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC message comprises at least one execution condition for at least one of adding or changing, by the wireless device, a current PSCell.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one execution condition is not met when the PCell fails.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, by the wireless device via the PSCell, a failure information message indicating the PCell failing.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PCell failing comprises at least one of:

a radio link failure;

a reconfiguration with sync failure;

a mobility failure from new radio;

an integrity check failure indication from a lower layer concerning signaling radio bearer 1 , SRB 1 , or signaling radio bearer 2 , SRB 2 ; and

an RRC connection reconfiguration failure.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PCell failing after receiving the SCG configuration parameters and before the SCG configuration parameters of the PSCell are applied comprises: the PSCell failing while a change or addition of the PSCell is ongoing.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive, from a first base station associated with a master cell group (MCG) comprising a primary cell (PCell), a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising secondary cell group (SCG) configuration parameters of a primary SCG cell (PSCell) of a second base station;

based on a PCell failing after receiving the SCG configuration parameters and before the SCG configuration parameters of the PSCell are applied, perform a cell selection; and

in response to the selected cell being the PSCell, synchronize with the PSCell based on the SCG configuration parameters.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the performing the cell selection comprises selecting the selected cell based on a received signal power value of the selected cell.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the synchronizing comprises performing a random access procedure with the PSCell based on the SCG configuration parameters.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the synchronizing does not comprise performing a random access procedure with the PSCell.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the RRC message comprises at least one execution condition for at least one of adding or changing, by the wireless device, a current PSCell.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the at least one execution condition is not met when the PCell fails.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to transmit, via the PSCell, a failure information message indicating the PCell failing.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the PCell failing comprises at least one of:

a radio link failure;

a reconfiguration with sync failure;

a mobility failure from new radio;

an integrity check failure indication from a lower layer concerning signaling radio bearer 1 , SRB 1 , or signaling radio bearer 2 , SRB 2 ; and

an RRC connection reconfiguration failure.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the PCell failing after receiving the SCG configuration parameters and before the SCG configuration parameters of the PSCell are applied comprises: the PSCell failing while a change or addition of the PSCell is ongoing.

20. A system, comprising:

a wireless device comprising: one or more first processors and first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive, from a first base station associated with a master cell group (MCG) comprising a primary cell (PCell), a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising secondary cell group (SCG) configuration parameters of a primary SCG cell (PSCell) of a second base station;

based on a PCell failing after receiving the SCG configuration parameters and before the SCG configuration parameters of the PSCell are applied, perform a cell selection; and

in response to the selected cell being the PSCell, synchronize with the PSCell based on the SCG configuration parameters; and

the first base station, wherein the first base station comprises: one or more second processors and second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the first base station to transmit, to the wireless device, the RRC message.
