Abstract

A wireless device receives from a first base station a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a wireless device capability enquiry and transmits to the first base station an RRC message comprising a first parameter indicating support by the wireless device for recovering from a failure of a first serving cell by performing layer 1 and/or layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM) to a first selected cell based on the first selected cell being a candidate cell for LTM. The wireless device receives from a second base station an RRC message comprising an LTM configuration for cell switching to one or more LTM candidate cells of the second base station, where the LTM configuration indicates that the wireless device performs, after a failure of a second serving cell of the second base station, LTM to a second selected cell based on the second selected cell being a candidate cell for LTM.

Claims (40)

1 . 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 a first radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a wireless device capability enquiry;

transmit to the first base station, in response to the wireless device capability enquiry, a second RRC message, indicating a wireless device capability of the wireless device, comprising a first parameter indicating support by the wireless device for recovering from a failure of a first serving cell by performing layer 1 and/or layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM) to a first selected cell based on the first selected cell being a candidate cell for LTM;

receive from a second base station a third RRC message comprising an LTM configuration for cell switching to one or more LTM candidate cells of the second base station, wherein the LTM configuration indicates that the wireless device performs, after a failure of a second serving cell of the second base station, LTM to a second selected cell based on the second selected cell being a candidate cell for LTM;

determine the failure of the second serving cell;

perform a cell selection in response to the failure of the second serving cell; and

based on an LTM candidate cell of the one or more LTM candidate cells being selected in the cell selection, perform LTM to the LTM candidate cell of the second base station.

2 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the second RRC message is a wireless device capability message.

3 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the failure is a radio link failure (RLF).

4 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the LTM configuration is received via the second serving cell.

5 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the second base station is same as the first base station.

6 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the second base station is different from the first base station.

7 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the second serving cell is of the first base station.

8 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the second RRC message further comprises a second parameter indicating support by the wireless device for LTM.

9 . A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

transmit to a wireless device a first radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a wireless device capability enquiry;

receive from the wireless device, in response to the wireless device capability enquiry, a second RRC message, indicating a wireless device capability of the wireless device, comprising a first parameter indicating support by the wireless device for recovering from a failure of a first serving cell by performing layer 1 and/or layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM) to a first selected cell based on the first selected cell being a candidate cell for LTM;

transmit to the wireless device a third RRC message comprising an LTM configuration for cell switching to one or more LTM candidate cells, wherein the LTM configuration indicates that the wireless device performs, after a failure of a second serving cell, LTM to a second selected cell based on the second selected cell being a candidate cell for LTM; and

receive from the wireless device, via the second selected cell, an uplink signal indicating the failure of the second serving cell.

10 . The base station of claim 9 , wherein the second RRC message is a wireless device capability message.

11 . The base station of claim 9 , wherein the failure is a radio link failure (RLF).

12 . The base station of claim 9 , wherein the LTM configuration is transmitted via the second serving cell.

13 . The base station of claim 9 , wherein the second serving cell is of the base station.

14 . The base station of claim 9 , wherein the second RRC message further comprises a second parameter indicating support by the wireless device for LTM.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive from a first base station a first radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a wireless device capability enquiry;

transmit to the first base station, in response to the wireless device capability enquiry, a second RRC message, indicating a wireless device capability of the wireless device, comprising a first parameter indicating support by the wireless device for recovering from a failure of a first serving cell by performing layer 1 and/or layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM) to a first selected cell based on the first selected cell being a candidate cell for LTM;

receive from a second base station a third RRC message comprising an LTM configuration for cell switching to one or more LTM candidate cells of the second base station, wherein the LTM configuration indicates that the wireless device performs, after a failure of a second serving cell of the second base station, LTM to a second selected cell based on the second selected cell being a candidate cell for LTM;

determine the failure of the second serving cell;

perform a cell selection in response to the failure of the second serving cell; and

based on an LTM candidate cell of the one or more LTM candidate cells being selected in the cell selection, perform LTM to the LTM candidate cell of the second base station.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the failure is a radio link failure (RLF).

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the LTM configuration is received via the second serving cell.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second base station is same as the first base station.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second base station is different from the first base station.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second RRC message further comprises a second parameter indicating support by the wireless device for LTM.
