  • Patent number: 12369128
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus for communicating with a second terminal apparatus via a first terminal apparatus. The third terminal apparatus receives a sidelink transmission from the second terminal apparatus to the first terminal apparatus, measures a sidelink Reference Signal Received Power (SL-RSRP) from the received sidelink transmission, and determines whether the SL-RSRP is equal to or greater than a threshold, and notifies a higher layer that the second terminal apparatus is in proximity in a case that the SL-RSRP is determined to be equal to or greater than the threshold, and does not notify the higher layer that the second terminal apparatus is in proximity in a case that the SL-RSRP is not determined to be equal to or greater than the threshold.

  • 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.
