  • Publication number: 20240414606
    Abstract: A processing unit of a terminal apparatus communicates with a base station apparatus using an MCG and an SCG, and determines whether signalling transmitted from the base station apparatus and notifying that the SCG is to be in a deactivated state includes information indicating that radio link monitoring is to be performed. In a case of determining that the signalling includes no information indicating that the radio link monitoring is to be performed in the deactivated state of the SCG, the processing unit stops a timer (T310) for the PSCell of the deactivated SCG for the terminal apparatus. The timer (T310) is started in a case that a predetermined number (N310) of consecutive out-of-sync indications notified from a PHY entity of the terminal apparatus are received in the PSCell and is stopped in a case that a predetermined number (N311) of in-sync indications are received from the PHY entity of the terminal apparatus in the PSCell.
