Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing a message in a mobile, telecommunications device. The method comprises: receiving a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message; determining whether the device has an empty C_RNTI variable; when the device has an empty C_RNTI variable, determining whether the CUC message includes a new C_RNTI; when the CUC message includes a new C_RNTI and the CUC message would cause the device to enter a state which requires the UE to respond to the message before entering the state, carrying out at least one further step prior to entering the state.
Claims10
A User Equipment (UE) device configured for use in a mobile telecommunications system, including a transmitter and receiver component configured to receive messages and transmit messages, the UE being arranged to:
- receive a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message;
- determine whether there is an empty C_RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier) variable;
- when there is an empty C_RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier) variable, determine whether the received CUC message includes a C-RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier);
- when the CUC message does not include a C_RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier) and the CUC message would cause the UE to enter a state that requires the UE to transmit a respond message before entering the state, setting INVALID_CONFIGURATION to TRUE prior to entering the state.

- receiving a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message;
- determining whether there is an empty C_RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier variable;
- determining whether the received CUC message includes a C-RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier) when there is an empty C_RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier) variable;
- and
- setting INVALID_CONFIGURATION to TRUE when the CUC message does not include a C_RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier), and, the CUC message would cause the UE to enter a state that requires the UE to transmit a respond message before entering the state, prior to entering the state.
