Abstract

A communication device for handling a measurement configuration comprises a storage unit and a processing means coupled to the storage unit. The processing means is configured to execute instructions stored in the storage unit. The instructions comprise communicating with a master base station and a secondary base station; detecting a link failure related to the secondary base station while communicating with the master base station; keeping a first measurement configuration for measuring a first carrier of the master base station and removing a second measurement configuration for measuring a second carrier of the secondary base station in response to the detection of the link failure; and transmitting a message for indicating the link failure to the master base station.

Claims

1. A communication device for handling a measurement configuration, comprising:

a storage unit for storing instructions of;

communicating with a master base station and a secondary base station;

detecting a link failure related to the secondary base station while communicating with the master base station;

keeping a first measurement configuration for measuring a first carrier of the master base station and removing a second measurement configuration for measuring a second carrier of the secondary base station in response to the detection of the link failure; and

transmitting a message for indicating the link failure to the master base station; and

a processing means, coupled to the storage unit, configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage unit.

2. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the first measurement configuration is configured by a first RRCConnectionReconfiguration transmitted by the master base station, and the second measurement configuration is configured by a second RRCConnectionReconfiguration transmitted by the master base station.

3. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the instructions further comprise:

releasing a configuration of a cell of the secondary base station on the second carrier.

4. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the instructions further comprise:

keeping a third measurement configuration for measuring the second carrier.

5. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the second measurement configuration comprises a reporting triggering event for the master base station to release a cell of the secondary base station on the second carrier or to replace the cell with another cell of the secondary base station.

6. A communication device for handling a measurement configuration, comprising:

a storage unit for storing instructions of;

communicating with a master base station and a secondary base station;

detecting a link failure related to the secondary base station while communicating with the master base station;

keeping a first measurement configuration for measuring a first carrier of the master base station and keeping a second measurement configuration for measuring a second carrier of the secondary base station in response to the detection of the link failure; and

transmitting a message for indicating the link failure to the master base station; and

a processing means, coupled to the storage unit, configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage unit.

7. The communication device of claim 6, wherein the first measurement configuration is configured by a first RRCConnectionReconfiguration transmitted by the master base station, and the second measurement configuration is configured by a second RRCConnectionReconfiguration transmitted by the master base station.

8. The communication device of claim 6, wherein the instructions further comprise:

releasing a configuration of the cell.

9. The communication device of claim 6, wherein the instructions further comprise:

releasing a third measurement configuration for measuring the second carrier.

10. The communication device of claim 6, wherein the second measurement configuration comprises a reporting triggering event for the master base station to add the cell, to another cell of the secondary base station on the second carrier, or to add a cell of another secondary base station.

11. The communication device of claim 6, wherein the second measurement configuration comprises a reporting triggering event A1, A2 or A6.

12. The communication device of claim 6, wherein the instructions further comprise:

transmitting a measurement report to the master base station according to the second measurement configuration; and

receiving a RRCConnectionReconfiguration for configuring the communication device to resume monitoring the PDCCH and the transmission to the cell, wherein the RRCConnectionReconfiguration is transmitted by the master base station according the measurement report.

13. The communication device of claim 6, wherein the instructions further comprise:

transmitting a measurement report to the master base station according to the second measurement configuration; and

receiving a RRCConnectionReconfiguration for configuring the communication device to release the cell, wherein the RRCConnectionReconfiguration is transmitted by the master base station according the measurement report.

14. The communication device of claim 6, wherein the instructions further comprise:

not monitoring a physical downlink (DL) control channel (PDCCH) from a cell of the secondary base station on the second carrier; and

not performing a transmission to the cell.

15. The communication device of claim 6, wherein the instructions further comprise:

keeping at least one other measurement configuration for measuring the second carrier of the secondary base station except the second measurement configuration.
