Methods and Apparatuses for Wireless Device Timer Configuration

A method performed by a wireless device configured for use in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving configuration information that configures a timer to start when each of multiple conditions have been fulfilled and physical layer problems for a serving cell have been detected, wherein the multiple conditions have been fulfilled when one or more events have been triggered for measurements of multiple different types and/or for measurements on multiple different types of signals, wherein triggering of the one or more events for measurements of multiple different types and/or for measurements on multiple types of signals triggers the wireless device to send multiple measurement reports, wherein the configuration information includes a measurement configuration, wherein the measurement configuration indicates a combination of reporting configurations for which the timer is applicable, wherein the reporting configurations in the combination configure triggering of respective ones of the multiple measurement reports;
• and
• starting the timer when each of the multiple conditions have been fulfilled and physical layer problems for the serving cell of the wireless device have been detected;
• and
• initiating a connection re-establishment procedure, or transitioning to an idle state, at expiry of the timer.

A wireless device configured for use in a wireless communication system, wherein the wireless device comprising:

• communication circuitry;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• receive configuration information that configures a timer to start when each of multiple conditions have been fulfilled and physical layer problems for a serving cell have been detected, wherein the multiple conditions have been fulfilled when one or more events have been triggered for measurements of multiple different types and/or for measurements on multiple different types of signals, wherein triggering of the one or more events for measurements of multiple different types and/or for measurements on multiple types of signals triggers the wireless device to send multiple measurement reports, wherein the configuration information includes a measurement configuration, wherein the measurement configuration indicates a combination of reporting configurations for which the timer is applicable, wherein the reporting configurations in the combination configure triggering of respective ones of the multiple measurement reports;
• and
• start the timer when each of the multiple conditions have been fulfilled and physical layer problems for the serving cell of the wireless device have been detected;
• and
• initiate a connection re-establishment procedure, or transitioning to an idle state, at expiry of the timer.

A network node configured for use in a wireless communication system, wherein the network node comprises:

• communication circuitry;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• transmit, to a wireless device, configuration information that configures a timer at the wireless device to start when each of multiple conditions have been fulfilled at the wireless device and physical layer problems for a serving cell of the wireless device have been detected by the wireless device, wherein the multiple conditions have been fulfilled when one or more events have been triggered for measurements of multiple different types and/or for measurements on multiple different types of signals, wherein triggering of the one or more events for measurements of multiple different types and/or for measurements on multiple types of signals triggers the wireless device to send multiple measurement reports, wherein the configuration information includes a measurement configuration, wherein the measurement configuration indicates a combination of reporting configurations for which the timer is applicable, wherein the reporting configurations in the combination configure triggering of respective ones of the multiple measurement reports.
