First communication device, second communication, and methods therein, for resolving a state mismatch

摘要

Method performed by a first communication device (511) for performing one or more actions to resolve a state mismatch between the first communication device (511) and a second communication device (512) operating in a communications network (500). The first communication device (511) searches (601, 704) for one or more transmissions from the second communication device (512) that are indicative of a state mismatch between the first communication device (511) and the second communication device (512). Upon detection of the one or more transmissions, the first communication device (511) performs (602, 705) one or more actions to resolve the state mismatch. The performing (602, 705) of the one or more actions is according to one of: a) a current state of the second communication device (512) and b) a transition to a state different from a current state of the first communication device (511).
