- the MeNB has the option of reconfiguring the UE in order to resume double connection operation with the same SeNB. In order to avoid unnecessary complexity of establishing a new connection to the same SeNB, the UE should not release the resources associated with the SCG when S-RLF is triggered.

- Option 1 it is up to the MeNB to set the appropriate measurement event for the SCG cell to the UE and to assist the SCell (SeNB) in selecting the most appropriate PSCell to prevent S-RLF as much as possible.
- the measurement report is also shared with the SeNB also depends on the MeNB. Since measurement and event reporting is based on timeToTrigger, the MeNB may not know the latest measurement results in relation to the S-RLF trigger.
- the measurement result of the SCG serving cell is included as part of the S-RLF report sent to the MeNB. It may be further considered whether measurements from neighboring cells also need to be included. In this option, the latest measurement corresponding to the cause of the S-RLF is reported to the MeNB. This is also consistent with existing RLF reports for MCG that include the type of measurement as part of VarRLF-Report.
- Option 2 provides a better advantage for MeNB to make an appropriate decision.
- ⁇ Proposal 3 The latest measurement result from the SCG cell should be included in the S-RLF report triggered by the S-RLF.

However, this does not fall into the category of adding SCells or establishing new SCGs. Therefore, it may need to be further clarified that the MeNB is allowed to give these S-RLF related measurements to the SeNB.
- the MeNB may be beneficial for the MeNB to inform the SeNB of the cause for the S-RLF.
- the S-RLF it may be beneficial for the S-RLF to know if the cause of the S-RLF is due to PRACH or RLM anomalies in order to assist the SeNB in selecting the most appropriate PSCell for the UE.
- Proposal 4 When the MeNB selects to resume operation of the UE with the same SCG during S-RLF, the MeNB can give the latest measurement report and the cause of the S-RLF to the SeNB.
- the MeNB should be an entity for determining whether the SCG is released or resumed for the UE. To assist in the proper determination of the MeNB, the latest measurement results should be given to the MeNB during S-RLF. If the MeNB chooses to resume UE operation with the same SCG, it is beneficial for the MeNB to give the SeNB a measurement report along with the cause for the S-RLF.
- the MeNB may initiate a SeNB release request when it recognizes the occurrence of RLF.
- RLF Radio Link
- SCG SeNB release request
- the SeNB may not be able to determine which one.
- a basic question is whether this Cause value is necessary for the SeNB release request. This is because the SeNB release request cannot be rejected. Instead, if the SeNB can use the Cause value for parameter adjustment, the type of Cause value should be clarified.
- a new Cause value such as “Loss of radio connection with SeNB terminal” (SeNB Radio Connection with UE Lost) can be introduced.
- ⁇ Proposal 1 It should be discussed whether “Loss of wireless connection with terminal” is necessary for SeNB release request. If it is beneficial to the SeNB, the type of RLF should be clarified.
- the terminal provides an SCG abnormality report to the MeNB along with the latest measurement result.
- the MeNB can use the reported measurement results to determine whether the SeNB should be released or modified.
- SCG anomaly reports also include detailed causes of SCG-RLF. That is, a physical layer problem, a random access error, or an RLC error. Such information is also used by the MeNB to determine whether the SeNB should be released or modified. Obviously, an operation in which the MeNB always decides to release the SeNB is not expected. Therefore, there is a need to provide measurement reports for all SCG cells.
- the MeNB can decide to release the SeNB using the SeNB release procedure. Regardless of the indicated Cause value, the SeNB cannot reject the SeNB release request.
- the MeNB may start SeNB modification for PSCell exchange.
- the MeNB may start the SeNB modification preparation procedure.
- the SeNB modification preparation procedure probably includes a request to add a new SCG cell as a candidate for a new PSCell.
- the SeNB is permitted to reject the SeNB modification preparation request caused by the MeNB. Without knowing the reason for such a modification request (ie, without knowing that it is due to SCG-RLF), the SeNB may reject the modification request for an undesirable wrong reason.
- the SeNB Even if the SeNB can detect the occurrence of SCG-RLF, the abnormality detection may not be quick without feedback from the terminal. This is exactly why the SCG anomaly report is quickly sent to the MeNB during SCG-RLF. Subsequently, the SeNB should be given the opportunity to receive a similar notification about this anomaly without delay.
- ⁇ Proposal 2 When an SCG-RLF occurs, the SeNB modification preparation procedure caused by the MeNB should include the Cause value, “Loss of radio connection with the terminal”.
- communication in the double connection method can be performed appropriately, which is useful in the mobile communication field.

以下において、本発明をLTEシステムに適用する場合の実施形態を説明する。
図1は、第1実施形態に係るLTEシステムの構成図である。
第1実施形態に係るLTEシステムは、二重接続方式をサポートする。二重接続方式は、リリース12以降において導入が予定されている。二重接続方式では、UE100は、複数のeNB200との接続を同時に確立する。UE100には、各eNB200から無線リソースが割り当てられるため、スループットの向上が見込まれる。なお、二重接続方式は、eNB200間キャリアアグリゲーション(inter-eNB CA)と称されることもある。

上述したように、SCGには、UE100のPUCCHが設けられるDC special cellが設定される。ここで、DC special cellは、SCGの他のセルに比べて通信状態が良いセルであることが望まれる。通信状態が良いセルとは、例えば、所望波の受信電力が高いセル、干渉電力が低いセル、負荷レベルが低いセルである。DC special cellにおいて通信状態が悪いと、上りリンク制御信号が正常に伝送されず、二重接続方式の通信を適切に実施することが難しくなる。

第2実施形態の動作パターン3では、MeNB200-1又はSeNB200-2がDC special cellを選択した後、UE100から新たに送信された測定報告に基づいてDC special cellを再選択する。
以下において、第3実施形態について、第1実施形態及び第2実施形態との相違点を主として説明する。
近年、以下に示すように、通常のバンド運用方法(例えば下りリンク・上りリンクペア構成)以外の特殊なバンド運用方法が検討されている。
・Unlicensed band:免許が不要なバンドであり、主にベストエフォート型の通信に用いる
・Shared license band:一つの帯域に複数のオペレータが存在するバンドであり、主にベストエフォート型の通信に用いる
・White space:他社のライセンスバンドの空き時間・場所を再利用するバンドであり、主にベストエフォート型の通信に用いる
・DC special cellに設定しようとしても拒否される
図14は、第3実施形態に係る動作シーケンス図である。
以下において、第4実施形態について、第1実施形態乃至第3実施形態との相違点を主として説明する。第4実施形態は第2実施形態の変更例に関する実施形態であるため、第2実施形態との相違点を主として説明する。
上述した第2実施形態では、SCGにおける無線リンク障害(RLF)であるS-RLFについて特に触れなかった。第4実施形態では、S-RLF発生時の動作について主として説明する。
以下において、第4実施形態に係る動作シーケンスの例について説明する。
第4実施形態の動作パターン1では、第1の測定結果及び第2の測定結果がS-RLF indicationに含まれる。図15は、第4実施形態の動作パターン1を示すシーケンス図である。
第4実施形態の動作パターン2について、動作パターン1との相違点を説明する。第4実施形態の動作パターン2では、第1の測定結果及び第2の測定結果がイベントトリガ型の測定報告に含まれる。図16は、第4実施形態の動作パターン2を示すシーケンス図である。
上述した第1実施形態乃至第4実施形態は、別個独立に実施するのではなく、2以上の実施形態を組み合わせて実施することが好ましい。
(1)導入
S-RLFを検出すると、UEは、MeNBに対してS-RLFの原因(RLM、 RA又はRLC異常)を報告し、SCGでのUL送信及びPDCCHの監視を中止しなければならない。UEからS-RLFを受信すると、MeNBは、SCGの解放又は同じSCG内でUEの運用を再開することによって、UEを再設定するという選択肢を有する。しかしながら、MeNBは、S-RLFの原因のみでは、適切な決定を行うこができるかどうかが不明である。
以下の内容が合意されている。
この付記では、UEがS-RLFの際にMeNBに追加情報を与える必要性を考察した。MeNBは、UEのためにSCGが解放されるか再開されるかどうかを決定するためのエンティティであるべきであることが提案されている。MeNBの適切な決定を補助するために、S-RLFの際にMeNBに最新の測定結果が与えられるべきである。MeNBが同じSCGでUEの運用を再開することを選択した場合、MeNBがSeNBにS-RLFに関する原因と共に、測定報告を与えることは有益である。
(1)導入
二重接続方式におけるX2APのCause値にはS1APで使用されている既存のCause値から借用されたものもある(例えばハンドオーバに使用されているものが挙げられる)。しかしながら、既存のCause値の再利用の必要性と新規のCause値追加の可能性に関しては更なる議論を要する。特に、Cause値の一つである「端末との無線接続喪失」(Radio Connection with UE Lost)はより一層の明確化が必要である。すでに議論された提案によれば、このCause値はSeNB解放メッセージ(SeNB Release message)にのみ適用可能だと考えられるが、MCG-RLFとSCG-RLFのどちらか一方、もしくはその両方に適用可能なのかどうかは不明瞭である。加えて、SCG-RLFの際にMeNBがSeNBを解放しないと決断した場合において、MeNB起因のSeNB修正準備手順(SeNB Modification preparation procedure)においてもこのCause値を適用するかどうかについて更なる検討を行うべきである。
この付記では、X2APにおいてどのように「端末との無線接続喪失」を扱うべきかについて考察する。
(SeNB起因のSeNB解放)
「端末との無線接続喪失」は他の基地局にRLFを伝達するために用いられるCause値である。MeNBにSCG-RLFを伝達するために、SeNBはこのCause値をSeNB起因のSeNB解放要求に入れることができる。しかしながら疑問なのは、このCause値が本当に必要かどうかという点である。というのも、SCG-RLFが発生した際、ただちに端末はSCG異常報告をMeNBに送信するからである。加えて「SCGのサービングセルについての異常をMeNBに知らせるための手段を、SeNBに提供する必要性はない」という合意に過去に至っている。つまり少なくとも、ある合意事項の観点からすれば「端末との無線接続喪失」はSeNB起因のSeNB解放要求には必要ないといえる。
MeNBはRLFの発生を認識した場合にSeNB解放要求を開始するかもしれない。しかしながら、RLFには2つの種類がある。すなわち、MCGについてのRLFとSCGについてのRLFである。SeNBはどちらのことかを判断できないかもしれない。ここで基本的な疑問として、このCause値がSeNB解放要求に必要かどうかという点も挙げられる。というのもSeNB解放要求を拒絶はできないからである。そうではなくて、もしもSeNBがCause値をパラメータの調整などに活用できるのであれば、そのCause値の種類は明確化すべきである。最小限の拡張として、「SeNBの端末との無線接続喪失」(SeNB Radio Connection with UE Lost)といった新しいCause値を導入することも可能である。
今の仕様によれば、端末は最新の測定結果と共にSCG異常報告をMeNBに提供する。そのMeNBは、SeNBが解放されるべきかそれとも修正されるべきかの判断に、報告された測定結果を活用できる。測定報告に加えて、SCG異常報告はSCG-RLFの詳細原因も含んでいる。つまり、物理層の問題、ランダムアクセス異常、もしくはRLC異常である。これらの情報もMeNBの、SeNBが解放されるべきかそれとも修正されるべきかの判断に利用される。明らかに、MeNBが常にSeNBの解放を決定するという動作は期待されていない。それゆえに全てのSCGセルに関する測定報告が提供される必要性があるとされているのだ。
端末からのSCG異常報告のもと、MeNBがSeNBを解放しないと決定したと仮定して、MeNBはSeNB修正準備手順を開始してよい。そのSeNB修正準備手順にはおそらく新しいPSCellの候補として新規SCGセルの追加要求が含まれる。しかしながらSeNB解放要求の場合とは異なり、SeNBはMeNB起因のSeNB修正準備要求を拒絶することが許可されている。この様な修正要求の理由を知らなければ、(つまりSCG-RLFが原因だと知らずに)SeNBは望ましくない誤った理由で修正要求を拒絶してしまうかもしれない。
この付記では、SeNB解放要求におけるCause値、「端末との無線接続喪失」の明確化の必要性について着目した。つまり、MCG-RLFの発生、SCG-RLFの発生、もしくはその両方においてこのCause値を適用すべきかどうかという点についてである。特に、この付記ではMeNB起因のSeNB修正準備手順においても同Cause値が再利用されるべきだという理由についても言及している。以下の考察と提案に至った。
