Publication number: 20250056459Abstract: A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for handling timing alignment is provided. The method receives, from a Base Station (BS), a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) message for configuring a Time Alignment Timer (TAT). The method receives, from the BS, a second RRC message for configuring at least one of a cell Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) operation or a cell Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation. In a case that at least one of the cell DTX operation or the cell DRX operation is configured and the TAT expires, the method considers the UE to be uplink synchronized with the BS and forgoes performing a procedure for handling an out-of-sync condition related to the expiration of the TAT.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: CHIE-MING CHOU, Tzu-Wen Chang, Chun-Yen Hsu, Chia-Hung Lin, Yung-Lan Tseng
