Method and apparatus for secondary cell group failure reporting
Methods, systems, and devices related to mobility management (e.g., reducing transmission delay and interference, and/or increasing transmission reliability) using the unlicensed spectrum are described. In one representative aspect, a method for wireless communication includes receiving, at a wireless communication node, a first message from a mobile device requesting a reestablishment of a network connection; transmitting, from the wireless communication node, a second message to the mobile device, the second message including information for reestablishing and reconfiguring the network connection; and receiving, at the wireless communication node, a third message from the mobile device acknowledging at least one of (1) completing a reestablishment of the network connection, or (2) completing a reconfiguration of the network connection.
1 . A method for wireless communication, comprising:
determining, by a mobile device that is in communication with a network device using a listen-before-talk (LBT) mechanism, whether a failure has occurred in a service request transmission or a random-access procedure, wherein determining whether the failure has occurred in the service request transmission or the random-access procedure includes:
detecting, by a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity of the mobile device, that a number of failures of the service request transmission or the random-access procedure reaches a threshold value;
in response to the detecting, indicating, by the MAC entity of the mobile device, an LBT failure to a Radio Resource Control (RRC) entity of the mobile device; and
initiating, by the mobile device upon occurrence of the failure, a secondary cell group (SCG) failure information procedure to report the failure, wherein the SCG failure information procedure comprises transmitting an SCG failure information including an information of a failure type and one or more measurement results with corresponding received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and a channel occupancy.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the failure type comprises a LBT failure.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the LBT failure comprises a service request (SR) LBT failure or a preamble LBT failure.
4 . A wireless communication device comprising processor electronics and a memory having a code stored thereupon, the code, when executed by the processor electronics, causing the wireless communication device to perform operations comprising:
configuring the wireless communication device to communicate with a network device using a listen-before-talk (LBT) mechanism;
determining whether a failure has occurred in a service request transmission or a random-access procedure, wherein determining whether the failure has occurred in the service request transmission or the random-access procedure includes:
detecting, by a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity of the wireless communication device, that a number of failures of the service request transmission or the random-access procedure reaches a threshold value;
in response to the detecting, indicating, by the MAC entity of the wireless communication device, an LBT failure to a Radio Resource Control (RRC) entity of the wireless communication device; and
initiating, upon occurrence of the failure, a secondary cell group (SCG) failure information procedure to report the failure, wherein the SCG failure information procedure comprises transmitting an SCG failure information including an information of a failure type and one or more measurement results with corresponding received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and a channel occupancy.
5 . The wireless communication device of claim 4 , wherein the failure type comprises a LBT failure.
6 . The wireless communication device of claim 5 , wherein the LBT failure comprises a service request (SR) LBT failure or a preamble LBT failure.
7 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having code stored thereupon, the code when executed by processor electronics of a computing system, causes the computing system to perform operations comprising:
configuring the computing system to communicate with a network device using a listen-before-talk (LBT) mechanism;
determining whether a failure has occurred in a service request transmission or a random-access procedure, wherein determining whether the failure has occurred in the service request transmission or the random-access procedure includes:
detecting, by a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity of the computing system, that a number of failures of the service request transmission or the random-access procedure reaches a threshold value;
in response to the detecting, indicating, by the MAC entity of the computing system, an LBT failure to a Radio Resource Control (RRC) entity of the computing system; and
initiating, upon occurrence of the failure, a secondary cell group (SCG) failure information procedure to report the failure, wherein the SCG failure information procedure comprises transmitting an SCG failure information including an information of a failure type and one or more measurement results with corresponding received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and a channel occupancy.
8 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the failure type comprises a LBT failure.
9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the LBT failure comprises a service request (SR) LBT failure or a preamble LBT failure.
