Abstract
A method of conducting bearer reconfiguration in a cellular communications network, the method comprising the steps of at a network component, initiating reconfiguration of a bearer between a base station and a mobile device; transmitting a signal from the network component to the mobile device; wherein the signal includes information defining the reconfiguration and also defining additional instructions in conjunction with that reconfiguration.
Claims17
A method of conducting reconfiguration in a cellular communications network, the method comprising the steps of:
- at a network component, initiating reconfiguration between a base station and a mobile device;
- transmitting a signal from the network component to the mobile device;
- wherein the signal includes information defining the reconfiguration and also defining additional instructions in conjunction with that reconfiguration;
- receiving the signal at the mobile device and implementing the requested reconfiguration and the additional instructions at the mobile device;
- wherein the additional instructions comprise an indication of whether to perform a Secondary Cell Group (SCG) and/or Master Cell Group (MCG) leg Media Cell Group (MAC) reset, an indication of whether to perform SCG and/or MCG leg Radio Link Control (RLC) re-establishment, an indication of whether to perform Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) reestablishment, an indication of whether to perform PDCP recovery.
