Device and method for transmitting state information in wireless communication system
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5 th -Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4 th -Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for operating a user equipment (UE) supporting carrier aggregation (CA) with a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprising: detecting a radio link failure (RLF) of the MCG; when the RLF of the MCG is detected, determining whether a transmission to the SCG is suspended; and when the transmission to the SCG is determined to be suspended, initiating a connection re-establishment procedure.
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) configured with a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
detecting a radio link failure (RLF) of the MCG;
identifying whether an SCG transmission is suspended;
in case that the SCG transmission is suspended:
performing a connection re-establishment procedure; and
in case that the SCG transmission is not suspended:
suspending an MCG transmission for all signaling radio bearers (SRBs) and data radio bearers (DRBs) except SRB 0 , based on the detected RLF of the MCG;
resetting an MCG medium access control (MAC), based on the detected RLF of the MCG;
in case that a split SRB 1 is configured for the UE, transmitting, to a secondary base station associated with the SCG via the split SRB 1 , information on the RLF of the MCG; and
in case that an SRB 3 is configured for the UE, transmitting, to the secondary base station associated with the SCG via the SRB 3 , the information on the RLF of the MCG.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RLF of the MCG is detected based on an expiry of a T310 timer, a random access problem indication, or a maximum number of retransmission of radio link control (RLC) being reached.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in case that the SCG transmission is not suspended and the split SRB 1 is configured for the UE, setting a primary path to the SCG.
4. A user equipment (UE) configured with a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
detect a radio link failure (RLF) of the MCG,
identify whether an SCG transmission is suspended,
in case that the_SCG transmission is suspended:
perform a connection re-establishment procedure, and
in case that the SCG transmission is not suspended:
suspend an MCG transmission for all signaling radio bearers (SRBs) and data radio bearers (DRBs) except SRB 0 , based on the detected RLF of the MCG;
reset an MCG medium access control (MAC), based on the detected RLF of the MCG;
in case that a split SRB 1 is configured for the UE, transmit, to a secondary base station associated with the SCG via the split SRB 1 , information on the RLF of the MCG; and
in case that an SRB 3 is configured for the UE, transmit, to the secondary base station associated with the SCG via the SRB 3 , the information on the RLF of the MCG.
5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the RLF of the MCG is detected based on an expiry of a T310 timer, a random access problem indication, or a maximum number of retransmission of radio link control (RLC) being reached.
6. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
in case that the SCG transmission is not suspended and the split SRB 1 is configured for the UE, set a primary path to the SCG.
