APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HANDLING CELL UPDATE DURING RECONFIGURATION IN UNIVERSAL MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM USER EQUIPMENT

摘要

The details of an apparatus and method for handling cell update during reconfiguration in universal mobile telecommunications system user equipment are disclosed herein. When a UE receives a Reconfiguration request from a UTRAN, it sets an activation time for execution of the reconfiguration. Where a cell update is required when the reconfiguration has not yet been applied, the UE delays the executi on of the cell update procedure until after the reconfiguration has been applied. If the trigger which initiated the cell update procedure is no longer relevant, the cell update i s unnecessary and may be cancelled.
