Enhanced UE Processing Logic of RRC Reconfiguration

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a transceiver configured to communicate with a currently camped cell;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• receive a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) Reconfiguration message comprising a full configuration from the currently camped cell;
• transmit a RRC Reconfiguration Complete message to the currently camped cell;
• receive, prior to sending the RRC Reconfiguration Complete message, a second RRC Reconfiguration message;
• and
• ignore the second RRC Reconfiguration message received from the currently camped cell that was received prior to sending the RRC Reconfiguration Complete message.

A processor of a user equipment (UE), configured to:

• receive a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) Resume message comprising a full configuration from a currently camped cell;
• transmit a RRC Reconfiguration Complete message to the currently camped cell;
• receive, prior to sending the RRC Reconfiguration Complete message, an RRC reconfiguration message;
• and
• ignore the RRC reconfiguration message received from the currently camped cell that was received prior to sending the RRC Reconfiguration Complete message.
