Abstract

A method of handling radio bearer resumption is illustrated in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to prevent the transmission stall and the reception on the suspended signaling radio bearer and the suspended data radio bearers. First the wireless communication device receives the connection reconfiguration message including the handover message. Second the wireless communication device determines whether the received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message is the first received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message after a successful completion of a connection re-establishment procedure. Third, the wireless communication device resumes at least one of the suspended signaling radio bearer and the suspended data radio bearers when the received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message is the first received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message after the successful completion of the connection re-establishment procedure.

Claims (18)

1. A method of handling radio bearer resumption, comprising:

receiving, at a wireless communication device, a connection reconfiguration message including a handover message;

determining, at the wireless communication device, whether the received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message is a first received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message after a successful completion of a connection re-establishment procedure; and

resuming, at the wireless communication device, at least one of a suspended signaling radio bearer and suspended data radio bearers when the received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message is the first received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message after the successful completion of the connection re-establishment procedure.

2. The method of handling radio bearer resumption according to claim 1 , wherein the connection reconfiguration message is a RRCConnectionReconfiguration message, the handover message is a mobilityControlInformation message, and the connection re-establishment procedure is a radio resource control (RRC) connection re-establishment procedure.

3. The method of handling radio bearer resumption according to claim 1 , the suspended signaling radio bearer is a SRB 2 , and the suspended SRB 2 is resumed.

4. The method of handling radio bearer resumption according to claim 1 , further comprising:

maintaining, at the wireless communication device, the suspended signaling radio bearer and suspended data radio bearers suspended when the received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message is not the first received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message after the successful completion of the connection re-establishment procedure.

5. A method of handling radio bearer resumption, comprising:

receiving, at a wireless communication device, a connection reconfiguration message including a handover message;

determining, at the wireless communication device, whether the received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message is a first received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message after a successful completion of a connection re-establishment procedure; and

considering, at the wireless communication device, the received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message as an invalid message, when the received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message is a first received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message after a successful completion of a connection re-establishment procedure.

6. The method of handling radio bearer resumption according to claim 5 , wherein the connection reconfiguration message is a RRCConnectionReconfiguration message, the handover message is a mobilityControlInformation message, and the connection re-establishment procedure is a RRC connection re-establishment procedure.

7. The method of handling radio bearer resumption according to claim 5 , wherein when the received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message is considered as the invalid message, the method of handling radio bearer resumption further comprising:

initiating, at the wireless communication device, the connection re-establishment procedure; and

setting, at the wireless communication, a re-establishment cause to a reconfiguration failure value.

8. The method of handling radio bearer resumption according to claim 5 , further comprising:

sending, at the wireless communication device, a connection reconfiguration complete message, when the received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message is not a first received connection reconfiguration message including the handover message after a successful completion of a connection re-establishment procedure.
