Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing a message in a mobile, telecommunications device. The method comprises: receiving a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message; determining whether the device has an empty C_RNTI variable; when the device has an empty C_RNTI variable, determining whether the CUC message includes a new C_RNTI; when the CUC message includes a new C_RNTI and the CUC message would cause the device to enter a state which requires the UE to respond to the message before entering the state, carrying out at least one further step prior to entering the state.
Claims11
A method of processing a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message in a User Equipment (UE) device, the method comprising:
- receiving a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message;
- determining whether there is an empty cell identifier variable;
- when there is an empty cell identifier variable, determining whether the received CUC message includes a new value for the cell identifier;
- and
- when the CUC message does not include a new value for the cell identifier and the CUC message would cause the device to enter a state which requires the UE to respond to the message before entering the state, carrying out at least one further operation prior to entering the state.
Apparatus for processing a message in a mobile telecommunications system, the apparatus being arranged to:
- receive a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message;
- determine whether there is an empty cell identifier variable;
- when there is an empty cell identifier variable, determine whether the CUC message includes a new value for the cell identifier;
- when the CUC message includes a new value for cell identifier and the CUC message would cause the device to enter a state which requires the UE to respond to the message before entering the state, carrying out at least one further operation prior to entering the state.
A mobile telecommunication device configured to process a message in a mobile telecommunications system, said mobile telecommunication device being arranged to:
- receive a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message;
- determine whether there is an empty cell identifier variable;
- when there is an empty cell identifier variable, determine whether the CUC message includes a new value for the cell identifier;
- when the CUC message includes a new value for cell identifier and the CUC message would cause the device to enter a state which requires the UE to respond to the message before entering the state, carrying out at least one further operation prior to entering the state.
