## Abstract

There are provided a terminal device, a base station device, and a radio communication method which are capable of performing appropriate management including that of cell configurations which are left unused. A terminal device (10) is a terminal device (10) for performing radio communication with a base station device (50) and includes a reception unit (11) that receives cell configuration information about cell configurations and group information indicating a group(s) of the cell configurations from the base station device (50), an execution unit (14) that executes mobility control based on L1/L2 signaling, and a management unit (15) that manages a plurality of cell configurations based on the group information and the type of the mobility control executed by the execution unit (14).

## Claims

### Claim 1

A terminal device for performing radio communication with a base station device,
the terminal device comprising:
a reception unit that receives cell configuration information about cell configurations from the base station device;
an execution unit that executes, based on the cell configuration information, mobility control based on L1/L2 signaling; and
a management unit that deletes a predetermined cell configuration of a plurality of the cell configurations based on information that the terminal device receives from the base station device,
wherein the management unit deletes a plurality of the cell configurations based on information that the terminal device receives from the base station device.

### Claim 2

A terminal device for performing radio communication with a base station device, the terminal comprising:
a reception unit that receives cell configuration information about cell configurations from the base station device:
an execution unit that executes, based on the cell configuration information, mobility control based on L1/L2 signaling; and
a management unit that deletes a predetermined cell configuration of a plurality of the cell configurations based on information that the terminal device receives from the base station device,
wherein the reception unit receives group information indicating a group of the cell configurations from the base station device, and
wherein the management unit retains or deletes a plurality of pieces of the cell configuration information based on the group information and a type of the mobility control executed by the execution unit.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a measurement unit that measures wireless communication quality between cells with the cell configurations; and
a transmission unit that transmits the wireless communication quality measured by the measurement unit.

### Claim 4
