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.

Terminal apparatus, method, and integrated circuit

A terminal apparatus for communicating with a second terminal apparatus via a first terminal apparatus. The third terminal apparatus receives a sidelink transmission from the second terminal apparatus to the first terminal apparatus, measures a sidelink Reference Signal Received Power (SL-RSRP) from the received sidelink transmission, and determines whether the SL-RSRP is equal to or greater than a threshold, and notifies a higher layer that the second terminal apparatus is in proximity in a case that the SL-RSRP is determined to be equal to or greater than the threshold, and does not notify the higher layer that the second terminal apparatus is in proximity in a case that the SL-RSRP is not determined to be equal to or greater than the threshold.

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.

Terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, and method

A terminal apparatus determines whether a candidate special cell (SpCell) associated with a conditional reconfiguration information element of an entry included in an entry list is identical to a special cell (SpCell) currently configured for the terminal apparatus, and does not cause an execution condition to be evaluated, the execution condition being included in the entry including the conditional reconfiguration information element of which the associated candidate SpCell is identical to the SpCell currently configured for the terminal apparatus.

A terminal apparatus determines whether information (first information) indicating whether a state of a secondary cell group is to be changed based on scg-State is included in the RRC signaling, in a case that the first information is not included in the RRC signaling, the state of the secondary cell group is changed based on whether the scg-State is included in the RRC signaling, and in a case that the first information is included in the RRC signaling, the state of the secondary cell group is not changed based on whether the scg-State is included in the RRC signaling.
