US 2019/0246390 A1 · Device and Method of Handling Narrowband Internet of Things Communication

Abstract

A communication device for handling a narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) communication comprises a storage device for storing instructions and a processing circuit coupled to the storage device. The processing circuit is configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage device. The instructions comprise initiating a radio resource control (RRC) connection reestablishment procedure for a NB-IoT communication; selecting a NB-IoT cell, when initiating the RRC connection reestablishment procedure; receiving a SystemInformationBlockType2-NB message broadcasted by the NB-IoT cell; and using a timeAlignmentTimerCommon comprised in the SystemInformationBlockType2-NB for an uplink (UL) transmission.
