Abstract
A technique for managing mobility configuration in a UE includes obtaining conditional configuration information including (i) a conditional configuration related to a candidate cell in the RAN, and (ii) a condition to be satisfied before the UE applies the configuration (1202). The technique further includes detecting that a non-conditional procedure related to the UE and the RAN has been initiated, when the UE is connected to the RAN via at least one cell (1204); determining, subsequently to the detecting and when the non-conditional procedure has not been completed, that the condition is satisfied (1206); and completing, by the processing hardware, (i) the conditional procedure in accordance with the conditional configuration and (ii) the non-conditional procedure (1208).
Claims20
A method implemented in a user equipment (UE) for managing mobility configuration, the method comprising:
- obtaining conditional configuration information including (i) a conditional configuration related to a candidate cell in a Radio Access Network (RAN), and (ii) a condition to be satisfied before the UE applies the configuration;
- detecting that a non-conditional procedure related to the UE and the RAN has been initiated, when the UE is connected to the RAN via at least one cell;
- in response to determining, subsequently to the detecting and when the non-conditional procedure has not been completed, that the condition is satisfied:
- completing the conditional procedure in accordance with the conditional configuration, and
- performing the non-conditional procedure concurrently with the conditional procedure.
A user equipment (UE) including:
- a transceiver;
- and
- processing hardware configured to:
- obtain configuration information including (i) a conditional configuration related to a candidate cell in a Radio Access Network (RAN), and (ii) a condition to be satisfied before the UE applies the configuration;
- detect that a non-conditional procedure related to the UE and the RAN has been initiated, when the UE is connected to the RAN via at least one cell;
- in response to determining, subsequently to the detecting and when the non-conditional procedure has not been completed, that the condition is satisfied;
- complete the conditional procedure in accordance with the conditional configuration, and perform the non-conditional procedure concurrently with the conditional procedure.
