Idle/inactive measurement handling during radio resource control state transitions
According to certain embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device ( 110 ) for measurement reporting includes transmitting, to a network node ( 160 ), a first message to initiate a transition from a dormant state to a connected state. The wireless device receives, from the network node, a second message including an indication of whether the wireless device is to release or keep at least one measurement configuration for performing measurements while in the dormant state. Based on the first message, the wireless device determines whether to release or keep the at least one measurement configuration for performing measurements while the wireless device is in the dormant state.
1. A method performed by a wireless device for measurement reporting, the method comprising:
receiving, from a network node, a message comprising an indication of whether the wireless device is to release or keep at least one measurement configuration for performing measurements while in a dormant state;
based on the message and in response to transitioning from the dormant state to a connected state, determining whether to release or keep the at least one measurement configuration for performing measurements while the wireless device is in the dormant state; and
receiving an another message from the network node, wherein the another message comprises an updated measurement configuration for performing measurements while the wireless device is in the dormant state.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Release message.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message indicates that the wireless device is to release the at least one measurement configuration, and the method further comprises releasing the at least one measurement configuration based on the message.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message indicates that the wireless device is to continue storing the at least one measurement configuration, and the method further comprises keeping the at least one measurement configuration based on the message.
5. A wireless device comprising:
processing circuitry operable to:
receive, from a network node, a message comprising an indication of whether the wireless device is to release or keep at least one measurement configuration for performing measurements while in a dormant state;
based on the message and in response to transitioning from the dormant state to a connected state, determine whether to release or keep the at least one measurement configuration for performing measurements while the wireless device is in the dormant state; and
receive an another message from the network node, wherein the another message comprises an updated measurement configuration for performing measurements while the wireless device is in the dormant state.
6. The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the message comprises a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Release message.
7. The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the message indicates that the wireless device is to release the at least one measurement configuration, and the processing circuitry is configured to release the at least one measurement configuration based on the message.
8. The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the message indicates that the wireless device is to continue storing the at least one measurement configuration, and processing circuitry is configured to keep the at least one measurement configuration based on the message.
9. The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the dormant state comprises an IDLE state, an IDLE with suspended state, or an INACTIVE state.
10. The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
store the updated measurement configuration for performing measurements while in the dormant state that was received in the another message.
11. The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
while in the dormant state, perform at least one measurement based on the updated measurement configuration.
12. A method performed by a network node, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a wireless device, a message comprising information associated with at least one measurement configuration for performing measurements reporting upon transitioning by the wireless device from a dormant state to a connected state, the information comprising an indication for determining by the wireless device whether to keep or release the at least one measurement configuration for early measurement reporting, and
transmitting an another message to the wireless device, the another message comprising an updated measurement configuration for performing measurements by the wireless device while the wireless device is in the dormant state.
13. A network node comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
transmit, to the wireless device, a message comprising information associated with at least one measurement configuration for performing measurements reporting upon transitioning by the wireless device from a dormant state to a connected state, the information comprising an indication for determining by the wireless device whether to keep or release the at least one measurement configuration for early measurement reporting, and
transmit an another message to the wireless device, the another message comprising an updated measurement configuration for performing measurements by the wireless device while the wireless device is in the dormant state.
14. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the message comprises a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Release message.
15. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the indication indicates that the wireless device is to store the at least one measurement configuration.
16. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the indication indicates that the wireless device is to release the at least one measurement configuration.
17. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the at least one measurement configuration comprises a measurement reporting configuration and the processing circuitry is configured to configure the wireless device to replace at least a portion of the at least one measurement configuration based on the message.
18. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the indication comprises a new measurement reporting configuration and the processing circuitry is configured to configure the wireless device to replace all of the at least one measurement configuration with the new measurement reporting configuration.
19. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the dormant state comprises an IDLE state, an IDLE with suspended state, or an INACTIVE state.
