  • Patent number: 12101846
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for handling radio resource control (RRC) cell group configuration. In implementations, a base station receives a first radio resource control message that requests a connection procedure between a user equipment and the base station, such as a radio resource control resume request or a radio resource setup request. In response to receiving the first radio resource control message, the base station generates a second radio resource control message that includes a cell-group-configuration information element that excludes a reconfiguration-with-sync information element. The base station then transmits the second radio resource control message to the user equipment. Afterward, the base station receives, from the user equipment, a third radio resource control message that indicates the connection procedure is complete.
