Abstract
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to: transmit a request to reestablish a connection with a network node; receive an early contention resolution message in response to the request; and determine whether or not the request is rejected by the network based at least in part on the early contention resolution message.
Claims14
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, from a user equipment, a request to one of establish or reestablish a radio resource control connection with a network node;
- receiving an early contention resolution message in response to the request;
- and
- determining the request is rejected by the network based at least in part on the early contention resolution message,
- wherein the determining comprises at least one of:
- determining the request is rejected based on a medium access control layer control element identified by a specific logical channel identifier that is received in the early contention resolution message, or
- starting a first timer in response to receiving the early contention resolution message and determining that the request is rejected by the network node in response to expiry of the first timer.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer-program code, the at least one memory and the computer-program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- transmit a request to one of establish or reestablish a radio resource control connection with a network node;
- receive an early contention resolution message in response to the request;
- and
- determine the request is rejected by the network based at least in part on the early contention resolution message,
- wherein the determining comprises at least one of:
- determining the request is rejected based on a medium access control layer control element identified by a specific logical channel identifier that is received in the early contention resolution message, or
- starting a first timer in response to receiving the early contention resolution message and determining that the request is rejected by the network node in response to expiry of the first timer.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and at least one memory including computer-program code, the at least one memory and the computer-program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive, from a user equipment, a request to one of establish or reestablish a radio resource control connection;
- and
- transmit an early contention resolution message to the user equipment to enable user equipment determination of the request being rejected,
- wherein the determination is based on at least one of:
- determination of the request being rejected based on a medium access control layer control element identified by a specific logical channel identifier that is received in the early contention resolution message, or
- a start of a first timer in response to receiving the early contention resolution message and determining that the request is rejected by the network node in response to expiry of the first timer.
