Abstract: A method by a user equipment (UE) is described. The method includes instructing a physical layer of the UE to signal a scheduling request (SR) on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) based on whether scheduling request counter is less than the maximum number of scheduling request transmission, and transmitting, to an evolved Node B (eNB), the SR on either of the PUCCH on a primary cell and the PUCCH on a PUCCH secondary cell. The scheduling request counter is incremented in a case that the scheduling request counter is less than the maximum number of scheduling request transmission.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a terminal apparatus is capable of reporting, to a base station apparatus, information indicating a mobility state of the terminal apparatus. In a case where the terminal apparatus reports information (history information) to the base station apparatus as mobility state indicating information, the terminal apparatus notifies the base station apparatus of a radio resource control connection setup complete message containing information indicating the presence of the history information that is notified as the mobility state indicating information. The history information contains an identifier of a cell that the terminal apparatus visited and the duration of stay in the cell. The base station apparatus notifies the terminal apparatus of information as to whether to report the mobility state indicating information.
