  • Publication number: 20240267991
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) release message from the base station apparatus, and a processing unit. The processing unit establishes a radio bearer for a Multicast Broadcast service (MBS) for delivery mode 1. The processing unit determines whether or not a suspend configuration parameter is included in the RRC release message, and in a case that the processing unit determines that the suspend configuration parameter is included, the processing unit suspends the radio bearer for the MBS for the delivery mode 1, and in a case that the processing unit determines that the suspend configuration parameter is not included, the processing unit does not suspend the radio bearer for the MBS for the delivery mode 1. The suspend configuration parameter is a parameter indicating a configuration for an RRC_INACTIVE state.

  • Patent number: 12041684
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes: a receiver that receives an RRC message from a base station apparatus; and a processing unit that performs processing of RRC. The processing unit causes, when first information is in the RRC message, a first timer to start in a running state, and considers, at least when a random access problem indication is received from a MAC entity of the group and the first timer is not running, or when a random access problem indication is received from a MAC entity of the group and the first timer is running under a specific condition, a radio link failure for the group to be detected. When the radio link failure for the group is detected and that the first timer is running under the specific condition, the processing unit suspends transmission of all radio bearers in the group, and resets the MAC entity of the group.
