Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method used in user equipment (UE), the user equipment being provided with one or more signaling radio bearers (SRBs) comprising a master cell group (MCG) split SRB and/or one or more secondary cell group (SCG) SRBs, and the method comprising: detecting a radio link failure between the UE and an MCG base station; determining, in the configured one or more SRBs, one or more SRBs for transmitting a message related to the radio link failure; and transmitting the message by means of the determined one or more SRBs.

Claims (25)

1. User equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor; and

a memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein instructions stored in the memory are executable to:

detect a radio link failure for a master cell group (MCG);

determine whether the UE is configured with a MCG split signaling radio bearer (SRB);

determine whether the UE is configured with a secondary cell group (SCG) SRB;

in a case that the UE is configured with the MCG split SRB, transmit, via the MCG split SRB, a message carrying MCG failure information; and

in a case that the UE is configured with the SCG SRB, transmit the message via the SCG SRB, wherein

the instructions are further executable to:

suspend all MCG transmission for data radio bearers (DRBs); and

suspend transmission of the MCG split SRB in the MCG.

2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further executable to:

determine whether SCG transmission is suspended; and

in a case that the SCG transmission is suspended, trigger a procedure of re-establishing a connection.

3. A method used in user equipment (UE), comprising:

detecting a radio link failure for a master cell group (MCG);

determining whether the UE is configured with a MCG split signaling radio bearer (SRB);

determining whether the UE is configured with a secondary cell group (SCG) SRB;

in a case that the UE is configured with the MCG split SRB, transmitting, via the MCG split SRB, a message carrying MCG failure information; and

in a case that the UE is configured with the SCG SRB, transmitting the message via the SCG SRB, wherein

suspending all MCG transmission for data radio bearers (DRBs); and

suspending transmission of the MCG split SRB in the MCG.

4. The method used in the UE according to claim 3 , further comprising:

determining whether SCG transmission is suspended; and

in a case that the SCG transmission is suspended, triggering a procedure of re-establishing a connection.
