Abstract
A user equipment (UE) in communication with a radio access network (RAN) in accordance with a first configuration (i) receives (1102) from the RAN, a conditional configuration for application in a conditional procedure when a corresponding condition is satisfied; (ii) subsequently to receiving the conditional configuration, applies (1104) a second configuration received from the RAN; (iii) detects (1106), after applying the second configuration, a failure to execute the conditional procedure; and (iv) in response to the detecting, continues (1108) to apply the second configuration or notifies the RAN of the UE reverting back to the first configuration.
Claims15
A configuration method in a user equipment (UE) in communication with a radio access network (RAN) in accordance with a first configuration, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the UE and from the RAN via a signaling radio bearer 3 (SRB3), a conditional configuration for application in a conditional procedure when a corresponding condition is satisfied;
- subsequently to the receiving of the conditional configuration, applying, by the UE, a second configuration received from the RAN, the second configuration being a non-conditional configuration;
- detecting, by the UE and after applying the second configuration, a failure to execute the conditional procedure when the corresponding condition is satisfied;
- and
- in response to the detecting, continuing to apply the second configuration.
A method in a radio access network (RAN) for configuring a user equipment (UE) in communication with the RAN in accordance with a first configuration, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the RAN via a signaling radio bearer 3 (SRB3) and to the UE, a conditional configuration for application in a conditional procedure when a corresponding condition is satisfied;
- subsequently to the transmitting of the conditional configuration, transmitting, by the RAN, a second configuration to the UE, the second configuration being a non-conditional configuration;
- and
- continuing to use the second configuration to communicate with the UE after the UE fails to perform the conditional procedure when the corresponding condition is satisfied.
