3> if T390 is running:

4> stop timer T390 for all access categories;

4> perform the actions as specified in 5.3.14.4.

3> if RRCReconfiguration does not include dedicatedSIB1-Delivery and

3> if the active downlink BWP, which is indicated by the firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id for the target SpCell of the MCG, has a common search space configured by searchSpaceSIB1:

4> acquire the SIB1, which is scheduled as specified in TS 38.213 [13], of the target SpCell of the MCG;

4> upon acquiring SIB1, perform the actions specified in clause 5.2.2.4.2;

2> the procedure ends.

NOTE: The UE is only required to acquire broadcasted SIB1 if the UE can acquire it without disrupting unicast data reception, i.e. the broadcast and unicast beams are quasi co-located.

[TS 38.331, clause 5.3.5.5.8]

The UE shall:

1> if the release is triggered by reception of the sCellToReleaseList:

2> for each sCellIndex value included in the sCellToReleaseList:

3> if the current UE configuration includes an SCell with value sCellIndex:

4> release the SCell.

The UE shall:

1> if the release is triggered by reception of the sCellToReleaseList:

2> for each sCellIndex value included in the sCellToReleaseList:

3> if the current UE configuration includes an SCell with value sCellIndex:

2> the procedure ends.

NOTE: The UE is only required to acquire broadcasted SIB1 if the UE can acquire it without disrupting unicast data reception, i.e. the broadcast and unicast beams are quasi co-located.

[TS 38.331, clause 5.3.5.5.7]

The UE shall:

1> if the SpCellConfig contains the rlf-TimersAndConstants:

2> configure the RLF timers and constants for this cell group as specified in 5.3.5.5.6.

1> else if rlf-TimersAndConstants is not configured for this cell group:

2> use values for timers T301, T310, T311 and constants N310, N311, as included in ue-TimersAndConstants received in SIB1;

1> if the SpCellConfig contains spCellConfigDedicated:

3> if the current UE configuration includes an SCell with value sCellIndex:

4> release the SCell.

[TS 38.331, clause 5.3.5.5.9]

The UE shall:

1> for each sCellIndex value included in the sCellToAddModList that is not part of the current UE configuration (SCell addition):

2> add the SCell, corresponding to the sCellIndex, in accordance with the sCellConfigCommon and sCellConfigDedicated;

2> configure lower layers to consider the SCell to be in deactivated state;

Editor’s Note: FFS Check automatic measurement handling for SCells.

2> for each measId included in the measIdList within VarMeasConfig:

3> if SCells are not applicable for the associated measurement; and

3> if the concerned SCell is included in cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId:

4> remove the concerned SCell from cellsTriggeredList defined within the VarMeasReportList for this measId;

1> for each sCellIndex value included in the sCellToAddModList that is part of the current UE configuration (SCell modification):

2> modify the SCell configuration in accordance with the sCellConfigDedicated.

[TS 38.331, clause 5.3.5.6.4]

Editor’s Note: FFS / TODO: Add handling for the new QoS concept (mapping of flows; configuration of QFI-to-DRB mapping; reflective QoS…) but keep also EPS-Bearer handling for the EN-DC case

The UE shall:

1> for each drb-Identity value included in the drb-ToReleaseList that is part of the current UE configuration (DRB release):

2> release the PDCP entity;

2> if SDAP entity associated with this DRB is configured:

3> indicate the release of the DRB to SDAP entity associated with this DRB (TS 37.324 [xx] section 5.3.3);

2> if the UE is operating in EN-DC:

3> if a new bearer is not added either with NR or E-UTRA with same eps-BearerIdentity:

4> indicate the release of the DRB and the eps-BearerIdentity of the released DRB to upper layers.

NOTE 1: The UE does not consider the message as erroneous if the drb-ToReleaseList includes any drb-Identity value that is not part of the current UE configuration.

NOTE 2: Whether or not the RLC and MAC entities associated with this PDCP entity are reset or released is determined by the CellGroupConfig.

[TS 38.331, clause 5.3.5.6.5]

The UE shall:

1> for each drb-Identity value included in the drb-ToAddModList that is not part of the current UE configuration (DRB establishment including the case when full configuration option is used):

2> if an sdap-Config is included:

3> if an SDAP entity with the received pdu-Session does not exist:

4> establish an SDAP entity as specified in TS 37.324 [xx] section 5.1.1;

3> configure the SDAP entity in accordance with the received sdap-Config as specified in TS 37.324 [xx] and associate the DRB with the SDAP entity;

2> establish a PDCP entity and configure it in accordance with the received pdcp-Config;

2> if the PDCP entity of this DRB is not configured with cipheringDisabled:

3> configure the PDCP entity with the ciphering algorithms according to securityConfig and apply the KUPenc key associated with the master key (KeNB/KgNB) or the secondary key (S-KgNB) as indicated in keyToUse;

2> if the PDCP entity of this DRB is configured with integrityProtection:

3> configure the PDCP entity with the integrity algorithms according to securityConfig and apply the KUPint key associated with the master (KeNB/KgNB) or the secondary key (S-KgNB) as indicated in keyToUse;

2> if the UE is operating in EN-DC:

3>if the DRB was configured with the same eps-BearerIdentity either by NR or E-UTRA prior to receiving this reconfiguration:

4> associate the established DRB with the corresponding eps-BearerIdentity;

3> else:

4> indicate the establishment of the DRB(s) and the eps-BearerIdentity of the established DRB(s) to upper layers;

1> for each drb-Identity value included in the drb-ToAddModList that is part of the current UE configuration:

2> if an sdap-Config is included, reconfigure the SDAP entity in accordance with the received sdap-Config as specified in TS 37.324 [xx];

2> if the reestablishPDCP is set:

3> if target RAT is E-UTRA/5GC:

4> if the PDCP entity of this DRB is not configured with cipheringDisabled:

5> configure the PDCP entity with the ciphering algorithm and KUPenc key configured/derived as specified in TS 36.331 [10, 5.4.2.3], i.e. the ciphering configuration shall be applied to all subsequent PDCP PDUs received and sent by the UE;

3> else:

4> if the PDCP entity of this DRB is not configured with cipheringDisabled:

5> configure the PDCP entity with the ciphering algorithm and KUPenc key associated with the master or secondary key (KeNB/S-KgNB/KgNB) as indicated in keyToUse, i.e. the ciphering configuration shall be applied to all subsequent PDCP PDUs received and sent by the UE;

4> if the PDCP entity of this DRB is configured with integrityProtection:

5> configure the PDCP entity with the integrity algorithms according to securityConfig and apply the KUPint key associated with the master (KeNB/KgNB) or the secondary key (S-KgNB) as indicated in keyToUse;

3> re-establish the PDCP entity of this DRB as specified in 38.323 [5], section 5.1.2;

2> else, if the recoverPDCP is set:

3> trigger the PDCP entity of this DRB to perform data recovery as specified in 38.323;

2> if the pdcp-Config is included:

3> reconfigure the PDCP entity in accordance with the received pdcp-Config.

NOTE 1: Removal and addition of the same drb-Identity in a single radioResourceConfig is not supported. In case drb-Identity is removed and added due to reconfiguration with sync or re-establishment with the full configuration option, the network can use the same value of drb-Identity.

NOTE 2: When determining whether a drb-Identity value is part of the current UE configuration, the UE does not distinguish which RadioBearerConfig and DRB-ToAddModList that DRB was originally configured in. To re-associate a DRB with a different key (KeNB to S-KeNB or vice versa), the network provides the drb-Identity value in the (target) drb-ToAddModList and sets the reestablishPDCP flag. The network does not list the drb-Identity in the (source) drb-ToReleaseList.

NOTE 3: When setting the reestablishPDCP flag for a radio bearer, the network ensures that the RLC receiver entities do not deliver old PDCP PDUs to the re-established PDCP entity. It does that e.g. by triggering a reconfiguration with sync of the cell group hosting the old RLC entity or by releasing the old RLC entity.

NOTE 4: In this specification, UE configuration refers to the parameters configured by NR RRC unless otherwise stated.

NOTE 5: Ciphering and integrity protection can be enabled or disabled for a DRB. The enabling/disabling of ciphering or integrity protection can be changed only by releasing and adding the DRB.

The UE shall:

1> consider the entering condition for this event to be satisfied when condition A6-1, as specified below, is fulfilled;

1> consider the leaving condition for this event to be satisfied when condition A6-2, as specified below, is fulfilled;

1> for this measurement, consider the (secondary) cell corresponding to the measObjectNR associated to this event to be the serving cell.

NOTE: The reference signal(s) of the neighbour(s) and the reference signal(s) of the SCell are both indicated in the associated measObjectNR.

Inequality A6-1 (Entering condition)

Inequality A6-2 (Leaving condition)

The variables in the formula are defined as follows:

Mnis the measurement result of the neighbouring cell, not taking into account any offsets.

Ocn is the cell specific offset of the neighbour cell (i.e. cellIndividualOffset as defined within the associated measObjectNR), and set to zero if not configured for the neighbour cell.

Msis the measurement result of the serving cell, not taking into account any offsets.

Ocs is the cell specific offset of the serving cell (i.e. cellIndividualOffset as defined within the associated measObjectNR), and is set to zero if not configured for the serving cell.

Hys is the hysteresis parameter for this event (i.e. hysteresis as defined within reportConfigNR for this event).

Off is the offset parameter for this event (i.e. a6-Offset as defined withinreportConfigNR for this event).

Mn, Ms are expressed in dBm in case of RSRP, or in dB in case of RSRQ and RS-SINR.

Ocn, Ocs, Hys, Off are expressed in dB.
