METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING A SIGNALING MESSAGE THAT RELATES TO TRANSMISSION RATE RESTRICTIONS

摘要

A method for handling a signaling message that specifies transmission rate restrictions may include operating in a first state. The method may also include receiving the signaling message from a network. The signaling message may include an activation time, the transmission rate restrictions and the control duration. The method may also include receiving a state transition trigger to operate in a second state. The method may also include determining the user equipment's behavior regarding the transmission rate restrictions upon receiving the state transition trigger.
