Abstract

A wireless device sends, to a first base station, a first radio resource control (RRC) request message. The wireless device selects a second cell of a second base station without receiving a response to the first RRC request message. The wireless device sends, to the second base station, a second RRC request message comprising an identifier indicating the first base station. The wireless device receives, from the second base station, a RRC response message to the second RRC request message.

Claims (24)

1. A method comprising:

sending, by a wireless device to a first base station, a first radio resource control (RRC) resume request message, wherein uplink data is sent using the first RRC resume request message;

selecting, by the wireless device, a second cell of a second base station without receiving a response to the first RRC resume request message;

sending, by the wireless device to the second base station, a second RRC resume request message comprising an identifier indicating the first base station; and

receiving, by the wireless device from the second base station, a RRC response message to the second RRC resume request message, wherein the RRC response message comprises downlink data retrieved from the first base station by the second base station based on the identifier sent by the wireless device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second cell of the second base station is selected base on a signal quality of the second cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier of the first base station comprises an inactive radio network temporary identifier (I-RNTI) associated with the first base station.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second RRC resume request message comprises access stratum release assistance information (RAI).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC response message comprises a RRC release message.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC response message comprises a RRC resume message.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing a cell re-selection while a resume procedure with the second base station is in progress.

8. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to perform operations comprising:

sending, to a first base station, a first radio resource control (RRC) request resume message, wherein uplink data is sent using the first RRC resume request message;

selecting a second cell of a second base station without receiving a response to the first RRC resume request message;

sending, to the second base station, a second RRC resume request message comprising an identifier indicating the first base station; and

receiving, from the second base station, a RRC response message to the second RRC resume request message, wherein the RRC response message comprises downlink data retrieved from the first base station by the second base station based on the identifier sent by the wireless device.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the second cell of the second base station is selected base on a signal quality of the second cell.

10. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the identifier of the first base station comprises an inactive radio network temporary identifier (I-RNTI) associated with the first base station.

11. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the second RRC resume request message comprises access stratum release assistance information (RAI).

12. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the RRC response message comprises a RRC release message.

13. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the RRC response message comprises a RRC resume message.

14. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise performing a cell re-selection while a resume procedure with the second base station is in progress.
