Operation in Case of Radio Link Failure

摘要

Attempting recovery from an unexpected radio link failure. A backup user context is created for a terminal device served currently by a relay base station relaying a radio connection between the terminal device and fixed cellular network infrastructure including a fixed base station communicating with the relay base station, wherein the backup user context is prepared for use in case of an unexpected radio link failure. Upon detection of the radio link failure in a primary user context being used in the communication, the backup user context is applied before the terminal device enters an idle state as a result of the radio link failure.
