Abstract

A terminal apparatus applies a configuration of an RRC reconfiguration message to a second configuration which is identical to a part or entirety of a first configuration in a case that the RRC reconfiguration message includes first information, and applies the configuration of the RRC reconfiguration message to the first configuration in a case that the RRC reconfiguration message includes no first information.

Claims (16)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

reception circuitry configured to receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message; and

processing circuitry configured to create a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity for a target master cell group (MCG) with a same configuration as a configuration of a MAC entity for a source MCG of the terminal apparatus, in a case that the RRC reconfiguration message includes first information.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case that the RRC reconfiguration message includes the first information and the RRC reconfiguration message further includes MAC entity configuration information, the processing circuitry applies the MAC entity configuration information to the created MAC entity for the target MCG.

3. A base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:

transmission circuitry configured to transmit a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message; and

processing circuitry configured to include first information in the RRC reconfiguration message to cause the terminal apparatus to create a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity for a target master cell group (MCG) with a same configuration as a configuration of a MAC entity for a source MCG of the terminal apparatus.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the processing circuitry includes the first information in the RRC reconfiguration message and further includes MAC entity configuration information in the RRC reconfiguration message, to cause the terminal apparatus to apply the MAC entity configuration information to the created MAC entity for the target MCG.

5. A method applied to a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message; and

creating a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity for a target master cell group (MCG) with a same configuration as a configuration of a MAC entity for a source MCG of the terminal apparatus, in a case that the RRC reconfiguration message includes first information.

6. A method applied to a base station apparatus, the method comprising:

transmitting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message; and

including first information in the RRC reconfiguration message to cause the terminal apparatus to create a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity for a target master cell group (MCG) with a same configuration as a configuration of a MAC entity for a source MCG of the terminal apparatus.
