Method and apparatus for handling radio link failure in wireless communication system
Embodiments herein disclose a method for handling a RLF in a wireless communication system by a UE ( 100 ). The method includes receiving a measurement configuration including a second timer ( 150 ) from a SN ( 300 ). Further, the method includes configuring the UE with the second timer associated with a measurement report for a PSCell of the SN. Further, the method includes starting the second timer when the measurement report is triggered while a first timer ( 140 ) for the PSCell is running. Further, the method includes detecting an expiry of one of: the first timer and the second timer for the PSCell. Further, the method includes declaring a SCG RLF upon expiry of one of: the first timer and the second timer whichever is early. Further, the method includes initiating a SCG failure procedure towards a MN ( 300 ) upon declaring SCG RLF.
1. A method for handling a radio link failure (RLF) in a wireless communication system comprising a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG) the method comprising:
receiving, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including measurement configuration information for the SCG, via a signaling radio bearer 3 (SRB 3);
identifying that a measurement report type is set to event-triggered and a measurement report event for the SCG is triggered, based on report configuration information for the SCG including information indicating use of a T312 timer;
in case that the information indicating the use of the T312 timer is included in the report configuration information for the SCG and a T310 timer is running, starting the T312 timer based on the measurement configuration information for the SCG, including a value of the T312 timer;
based on an expiry of the T312 timer on a primary SCG cell (PSCell), declaring a RLF of the SCG; and
transmitting, via a signaling radio bearer 1 (SRB 1), a SCG failure message including a cause value corresponding to a failure type as the expiry of the T312 timer.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SCG failure message is transmitted via MCG transmission, upon declaring the RLF of the SCG.
3. A User Equipment (UE) configured to handle a radio link failure (RLF) in a wireless communication system comprising a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG) the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
receive a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including measurement configuration information for the SCG, via a signaling radio bearer 3 (SRB 3);
identify that a measurement report type is set to event-triggered and a measurement report event for the SCG is triggered, based on report configuration information for the SCG including information indicating use of a T312 timer;
in case that the information indicating the use of the T312 timer is included in the report configuration information for the SCG and a T310 timer is running, start the T312 timer based on the measurement configuration information for the SCG, including a value of the T312 timer;
based on an expiry of the T312 timer on a primary SCG cell (PSCell), declare a RLF of the SCG; and
transmit, via a signaling radio bearer 1 (SRB 1), a SCG failure message including a cause value corresponding to a failure type as the expiry of the T312 timer.
4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the SCG failure message is transmitted via MCG transmission, upon declaring the RLF of the SCG.
