A terminal apparatus for communicating with a first terminal apparatus and a second terminal apparatus is responsible to relay communication between the first terminal apparatus and the second terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus measures a sidelink Reference Signal Received Power (SL-RSRP) in each of communication with the first terminal apparatus and communication with the second terminal apparatus, and determines whether the two SL-RSRPs are equal to or greater than a threshold and notifies the first terminal apparatus that the first terminal apparatus and the second terminal apparatus are in proximity in a case that the two SL-RSRPs are determined to be equal to or greater than the threshold, and does not notify the first terminal apparatus that the first terminal apparatus and the second terminal apparatus are in proximity in a case that the two SL-RSRPs are not determined to be equal to or greater than the threshold.

The terminal apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a parameter related to a first configuration from the base station apparatus, and a processing unit configured to perform configuration in accordance with the RRC reconfiguration message received. In a case that a first timer of an RRC protocol expires, a radio link failure of a source primary cell is not detected, and configuration related to Dual Active Protocol Stack (DAPS) handover is performed for the terminal apparatus, the processing unit reconfigures all of state variables configured for a Radio Link Control (RLC) entity of a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) in the source primary cell to respective initial values, resumes the SRB suspended in the source primary cell, and transmits an RRC message for notifying the base station apparatus that the DAPS handover has failed.

Terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, and method to perform configuration according to radio resource control reconfiguration message

A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus is provided. The terminal apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive, from the base station apparatus, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a parameter related to first configuration, and a processing unit configured to perform configuration in accordance with the RRC reconfiguration message received. In a case that a first timer of an RRC protocol expires, a radio link failure of a source primary cell is not detected, and configuration related to Dual Active Protocol Stack (DAPS) handover is performed for the terminal apparatus, the processing unit stops all of timers configured for a Radio Link Control (RLC) entity of a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) in the source primary cell, resumes the SRB suspended in the source primary cell, and transmits an RRC message for notifying the base station apparatus that the DAPS handover has failed.

Terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, and method

A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive, from the base station apparatus, an RRC reconfiguration message including a first configuration related to a radio bearer to which a Dual Active Protocol Stack (DAPS) is applied, and a processing unit configured to perform configuration in accordance with the RRC reconfiguration message. In a case that a first timer expires, that no radio link failure is detected in a source primary cell, and that the first configuration is performed on any radio bearer, the processing units releases a configuration for a target primary cell, resets MAC for the target primary cell, discards all data of a PDCP entity for a SRB of the source primary cell, discards all data of an RLC entity for the SRB of the source primary cell, resumes the SRB suspended in the source primary cell, and transmits, to the base station apparatus, an RRC message for notifying that a DAPS handover is unsuccessful.

A terminal apparatus determines whether to delete all entries included in an entry list held by the terminal apparatus in a case that an RRC connection reconfiguration is performed, deletes all entries included in the entry list in a case that it is determined to delete all entries included in the entry list, and does not delete one or more entries included in the entry list in a case that it is determined not to delete all entries included in the entry list.

A base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus transmits a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration request message including a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) configuration to the terminal apparatus. The DRB configuration includes a DRB identity and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol Layer (PDCP) entity configuration corresponding to the DRB identity. PDCP entity configuration information includes one of a PDCP entity configuration for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) and a PDCP entity configuration for New Radio (NR).
