DELAYING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FOR RRC-CONNECTION-RELEASE FOR COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT MODE

摘要

The application relates to RRC connection release as specified by 3GPP TS 36.331.The current delay of 60 ms after receiving a RRCConnectionRelease message is too short in case for UE in Coverage enhancement mode due to increase latencies and repetitions. Therefore the application proposes to have longer delays for UEs in CE mode or at least a delay which is long enough to successfully acknowledge the reception of a RRCConnectionRelease messsage to the base station.
