Abstract

A terminal device includes: a receptor that receives, from a base station device, a first signal including change destination information that designates first cell and second cell as cell change destination candidates; and a switcher that performs first processing of switching a serving cell from a third cell to the first cell according to information related to a cell change included in a second signal received from the base station device, and performs, in a case where the first processing fails, second processing of executing a reestablishment procedure by using a third configuration applied in the third cell; wherein in the second processing, in a case where the second cell is selected as a change destination, the switcher switches the serving cell to the second cell by using a second configuration applied in the second cell instead of the third configuration.

Claims (40)

1 . A terminal device comprising:

a receptor that receives, from a base station device, a first signal including change destination information that designates first cell and second cell as cell change destination candidates; and

a switcher that performs first processing of switching a serving cell from a third cell to the first cell according to information related to a cell change included in a second signal received from the base station device, and performs, in a case where the first processing fails, second processing of executing a reestablishment procedure by using a third configuration applied in the third cell,

wherein in the second processing, in a case where the second cell is selected as a change destination, the switcher switches the serving cell to the second cell by using a second configuration applied in the second cell instead of the third configuration.

2 . The terminal device according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the second processing, in a case where the second cell is selected as the change destination and a first condition is satisfied, the switcher switches the serving cell to the second cell by applying the second configuration.

3 . The terminal device according to claim 1 ,

the second process includes a process for performing the reestablishment procedure using the third configuration while maintaining some of values of state variables at values of first state variables.

4 . The terminal device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first condition is that a first configuration applied to the first cell includes a parameter indicating that four-step contention free random access is performed during cell switching.

5 . The terminal device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first condition is that a PDCP data PDU is not transmitted when the terminal device performs the first processing.

6 . The terminal device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second processing includes processing of maintaining a value of a state variable at a value of a first state variable and executing the reestablishment procedure by using the third configuration, and

in the reestablishment procedure, in a case where a fourth cell, which is not included in the cell change destination candidates, is selected, the switcher changes the value of the state variable to a value of a second state variable, which is the value of the state variable prior to the value of the first state variable, and performs control to transmit a reestablishment request to the base station device.

7 . The terminal device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the value of the state variable includes a sequence number managed for each radio bearer.

8 . A base station device comprising:

a transmitter that transmits, to a terminal device, a first signal including change destination information that designates first cell and second cell as cell change destination candidates; and

a controller that transmits a second signal including information related to a cell change, and causes the terminal device to perform first processing of switching a serving cell from a third cell to the first cell according to the information related to the cell change and to perform, in a case where the first processing fails, second processing of executing a reestablishment procedure by using a third configuration applied in the third cell,

wherein in the second processing, in a case where the terminal device selects the second cell as a change destination, the controller performs control to switch the serving cell to the second cell by using a second configuration applied in the second cell instead of the third configuration.

9 . The base station device according to claim 8 ,

wherein in a case where the terminal device selects the second cell and the first condition is satisfied, the controller performs processing of switching the serving cell to the second cell by applying the second configuration.

10 . The base station device according to claim 8 ,

the second process includes a process for performing the reestablishment procedure using the third configuration while maintaining some of values of state variables at values of first state variables.

11 . The base station device according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first condition is that a first configuration applied to the first cell includes a parameter indicating that four-step contention free random access is performed during cell switching.

12 . The base station device according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first condition is that a PDCP data PDU is not transmitted when the terminal device performs the first processing.

13 . The base station device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the second processing includes processing of causing the terminal device to maintain a value of a state variable at a value of a first state variable and to execute the reestablishment procedure by using the third configuration, and

in the reestablishment procedure, in a case where the terminal device selects a fourth cell which is not included in the cell change destination candidates, the controller controls to cause the terminal device to change the value of the state variable to a value of a second state variable, which is the value of the state variable prior to the value of the first state variable, and to transmit a reestablishment request.

14 . The base station device according to claim 13 ,

wherein the value of the state variable includes a sequence number managed for each radio bearer.

15 . A wireless communication system comprising:

a base station device that transmits, to a terminal device, a first signal including change destination information that designates first cell and second cell as cell change destination candidates; and

a terminal device that

performs first processing of switching a serving cell from a third cell to the first cell according to information related to a cell change included in a second signal received from the base station device,

performs, in a case where the first processing fails, second processing of executing a reestablishment procedure by using a third configuration applied in the third cell, and

switches, in the second processing, in a case where the second cell is selected as a change destination, the serving cell to the second cell by using a second configuration applied in the second cell instead of the third configuration.
