3GPP Release-15において規定されている(NG)EN-DC inter SN SCG changeでは、RRC config indicationとしてfull config.を指定できる。
config indicationをfull config.に設定してよいことが、追加的に規定されている。
しかしながら、上述した規定に従った動作には、次のような問題があると考えられる。
・(オプション2):RRC configuration of both SCG config and radio bearer config
・(課題2):SgNB Addition Request Acknowledgeに含まれるRRC config indicationは、オプション2の意味を有するが、SgNB Modification RequiredまたはSgNB Modification Request Acknowledgeに含まれるRRC config indicationは、オプション1の意味を有し得る。このため、同一のRRC config indicationであるにも関わらず、2通りの解釈が存在し、適切な動作を阻害する可能性がある。
・SgNB Addition Request Acknowledge
・SgNB Modification Request Acknowledge
・SgNB Modification Required
・(動作例1-1):RRC config indication(full config.)は、上述したオプション1の意味と解釈する。
config.)は、オプション1の意味と解釈する。
上述したIntra-CU inter DU SCG change/Intra-SN PSCell changeでは、SNのRRC設定(NR SCG config + SCG radio bearer config)のfull config.設定は、X2-AP(Application)プロトコルにおいて規定されるRRC config indication及びPDCP change indicationの組合せによってMNに通知できる。
上述した動作例1(具体的には、動作例1-3)を規定するため、3GPPの仕様では、例えば、次のように規定されてよい。
上述した実施形態によれば、以下の作用効果が得られる。具体的には、無線通信システム10(eNB100A(MN))によれば、RRC config indicationが含まれるノード間メッセージの種別に応じて、RRC config indication(full config.)の意味を正しく認識できるため、SCG(SN)に関するRRCの適切な設定を実現し得る。また、これにより、SN(gNB)のmodification時における失敗(SgNB modification failure)を未然に防止し得る。
以上、実施形態について説明したが、当該実施形態の記載に限定されるものではなく、種々の変形及び改良が可能であることは、当業者には自明である。
「離れる」、「結合される」などの用語も、「異なる」と同様に解釈されてもよい。
