Abstract
A duplication deactivated cell restriction configuration can be received at a UE. The duplication deactivated cell restriction configuration can be a cell restriction configuration a UE shall apply for at least one LCH of a DRB for which PDCP duplication is deactivated. The duplication deactivated cell restriction configuration can be received when at least one DRB is configured with PDCP duplication. The DRB for which duplication is deactivated can be a DRB of the at least one DRB configured with PDCP duplication. The duplication deactivated cell restriction configuration the UE shall apply can be applied for the at least one LCH of a DRB for which PDCP duplication is deactivated.
Claims18
A method in a user equipment, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the user equipment when at least one data radio bearer is configured with packet data convergence protocol duplication, a medium access control control element including a medium access control control element subheader that includes a cell restriction configuration indicator bit that indicates whether an existing allowedServingCells cell restriction configuration should be applied for logical channels of a radio bearer for which packet data convergence protocol duplication is deactivated, where the medium access control control element includes a duplication deactivated cell restriction configuration the user equipment shall apply for at least one logical channel of a data radio bearer for which packet data convergence protocol duplication is deactivated,
- where the data radio bearer for which duplication is deactivated comprises a data radio bearer of the at least one data radio bearer configured with packet data convergence protocol duplication;
- and
- applying the duplication deactivated cell restriction configuration the user equipment shall apply for the at least one logical channel of a data radio bearer for which packet data convergence protocol duplication is deactivated.
An apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver that receives, when at least one data radio bearer is configured with packet data convergence protocol duplication, a medium access control control element including a medium access control control element subheader that includes a cell restriction configuration indicator bit that indicates whether an existing allowedServingCells cell restriction configuration should be applied for logical channels of a radio bearer for which packet data convergence protocol duplication is deactivated, where the medium access control control element includes a duplication deactivated cell restriction configuration the apparatus shall apply for at least one logical channel of a data radio bearer for which packet data convergence protocol duplication is deactivated,
- where the data radio bearer for which duplication is deactivated comprises a data radio bearer of the at least one data radio bearer configured with packet data convergence protocol duplication;
- and
- a controller that applies the duplication deactivated cell restriction configuration the apparatus shall apply for the at least one logical channel of a data radio bearer for which packet data convergence protocol duplication is deactivated.
