Method for Processing Medium Access Control Entity, UE and Communication System

摘要

A method for processing a medium access control entity, UE and a communication system. The method includes: establishing a corresponding medium access control entity by UE for a second connectivity, so that there exists dual connectivity between the UE and network side including a first connectivity and the second connectivity; wherein the medium access control entity of the second connectivity at least includes a multiplexing or de-multiplexing module and a logic channel prioritization module. Resources of the UE may be efficiently managed, and waste of resources is reduced based on control optimization.

1. A method for processing a medium access control entity (MAC), comprising:
establishing, by UE, a corresponding MAC entity for a second connectivity, so that there exists dual connectivity between the UE and network side comprising a first connectivity and the second connectivity; wherein a radio resource control (RRC) entity exists in the first connectivity and signaling radio bearer(s) (SRB(s)) is/are always transferred via the first connectivity, while the MAC entity of the second connectivity comprises a multiplexing or de-multiplexing module, a logic channel prioritization module, a control module, a random access control module and a hybrid automatic repeat request module; and releasing, by the UE, the MAC entity of the second connectivity, releasing all radio resources related to the second connectivity and stopping timers related to the second connectivity when the UE receives an instruction for releasing the second connectivity.
