Abstract
A method, performed by a wireless device, is disclosed. The method is for managing radio resources in the wireless device and comprises receiving a message configuring a radio bearer for use by the wireless device, checking the message for a ciphering configuration setting enabling or disabling ciphering for the radio bearer, and performing at least one of enabling or disabling ciphering for the radio bearer in accordance with the received message. Also disclosed are a method performed by a base station for configuring radio resources for use by a wireless device, a wireless device, a user equipment and a base station.
Claims36
A method performed by a wireless device for managing radio resources in the wireless device, the method comprising the wireless device:
- receiving a message configuring at least one radio bearer for use by the wireless device, wherein the message includes a bearer-specific pdcp-Config Information Element for the at least one radio bearer;
- checking the bearer-specific pdcp-Config Information Element associated with the radio bearer for a ciphering configuration setting enabling or disabling ciphering for the radio bearer, wherein the ciphering configuration is located after an extension marker of the bearer-specific pdcp-Config Information Element;
- and
- performing at least one of enabling or disabling ciphering for the radio bearer in accordance with the received message.

A method performed by a base station for configuring radio resources for use by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- generating a message configuring at least one radio bearer for use by the wireless device (1502), wherein the message includes a bearer-specific pdcp-Config Information Element for the at least one radio bearer;
- including in the message a ciphering configuration setting enabling or disabling ciphering for the radio bearer (1504), wherein the ciphering configuration is located after an extension marker of the bearer-specific pdcp-Config Information Element;
- and
- transmitting the message to the wireless device (1506).

A wireless device for managing radio resources in the wireless device, the wireless device comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- power supply circuitry configured to supply power to the wireless device;
- wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
- receiving a message configuring at least one radio bearer for use by the wireless device, wherein the message includes a bearer-specific pdcp-Config Information Element for the at least one radio bearer;
- check the bearer-specific pdcp-Config Information Element associated with the radio bearer for a ciphering configuration setting enabling or disabling ciphering for the radio bearer, wherein the ciphering configuration is located after an extension marker of the bearer-specific pdcp-Config Information Element;
- and
- perform at least one of enabling or disabling ciphering for the radio bearer in accordance with the received message.
A base station for configuring radio resources for use by a wireless device, the base station comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- power supply circuitry configured to supply power to the base station;
- wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
- generate a message configuring at least one radio bearer for use by the wireless device, wherein the message includes a bearer-specific pdcp-Config Information Element for the at least one radio bearer;
- include in the message a ciphering configuration setting enabling or disabling ciphering for the radio bearer, wherein the ciphering configuration is located after an extension marker of the bearer-specific pdcp-Config Information Element;
- and
- transmit the message to the wireless device.
