Abstract

A method of connection reestablishment, a terminal device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided. The method includes: in a connection reestablishment procedure, determining, by a terminal device, whether to perform the connection reestablishment procedure according to whether the terminal device is configured with a conditional handover (CHO)-based candidate cell.

prohibiting, by the terminal device, execution of the connection reestablishment initialization procedure, comprises:

prohibiting, by the terminal device, execution of:

suspending all radio bearers (RBs) except a signalling radio bearer 0 (SRB0);

releasing configuration of secondary cells (SCells) in a master cell group (MCG); and

releasing secondary primary cell configuration (spCellConfig).

performing, by the terminal device, the connection reestablishment procedure, in response to the terminal device being not configured with the CHO-based candidate cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the terminal device, whether to perform the connection reestablishment initialization procedure according to whether a to-be-accessed cell selected by the terminal device is the CHO-based candidate cell.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining, by the terminal device, whether to perform the connection reestablishment initialization procedure according to whether the to-be-accessed cell selected by the terminal device is the CHO-based candidate cell, comprises:

performing, by the terminal device, CHO-based cell access according to CHO configuration of the candidate cell, in response to the to-be-accessed cell selected by the terminal device being the CHO-based candidate cell.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the terminal device, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration complete message to a network device corresponding to the to-be-accessed cell selected by the terminal device.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining, by the terminal device, whether to perform the connection reestablishment initialization procedure according to whether the to-be-accessed cell selected by the terminal device is the CHO-based candidate cell, comprises:

performing, by the terminal device, the connection reestablishment initialization procedure, in response to the to-be-accessed cell selected by the terminal device being not the CHO-based candidate cell.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein performing, by the terminal device, the connection reestablishment initialization procedure, comprises:

performing, by the terminal device, at least one of:

suspending, by terminal device, all the RBs except the SRB0;

resetting, by terminal device, the MAC;

releasing, by terminal device, the configuration of all the SCells in the MCG; or

releasing, by terminal device, the spCellConfig.

8. A terminal device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing a computer program which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

determine whether to perform a connection reestablishment initialization procedure according to whether the terminal device is configured with a conditional handover (CHO)-based candidate cell;

wherein the computer program causing the at least one processor to determine whether to perform the connection reestablishment initialization procedure according to whether the terminal device is configured with the CHO-based candidate cell causes the at least one processor to:

prohibit execution of the connection reestablishment initialization procedure, in response to the terminal device being configured with the CHO-based candidate cell;

wherein the computer program causing the at least one processor to prohibit execution of the connection reestablishment initialization procedure causes the at least one processor to:

prohibit execution of:

suspending all radio bearers (RBs) except a signalling radio bearer 0 (SRB0);

releasing configuration of secondary cells (SCells) in a master cell group (MCG); and

releasing secondary primary cell configuration (spCellConfig).

9. The terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the computer program causing the at least one processor to determine whether to perform the connection reestablishment procedure according to whether the terminal device is configured with the CHO-based candidate cell causes the at least one processor to:

perform the connection reestablishment procedure, in response to the terminal device being not configured with the CHO-based candidate cell.

10. The terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the computer program, when executed by the at least one processor, further causes the at least one processor to:

determine whether to perform the connection reestablishment initialization procedure according to whether a to-be-accessed cell selected by the terminal device is the CHO-based candidate cell.

11. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the computer program causing the at least one processor to determine whether to perform the connection reestablishment initialization procedure according to whether the to-be-accessed cell selected by the terminal device is the CHO-based candidate cell causes the at least one processor to:

perform CHO-based cell access according to CHO configuration of the candidate cell, in response to the to-be-accessed cell selected by the terminal device being the CHO-based candidate cell.

12. The terminal device of claim 11 , wherein the computer program, when executed by the at least one processor, further causes the at least one processor to:
