Method and apparatus for processing radio resource control messages

Abstract

There is herein disclosed an apparatus, comprising means for receiving, by a user equipment, a radio resource control (RRC) configuration message associated with a Layer 1 / Layer 2 (L1 / L2) triggered mobility (LTM) procedure. The apparatus further comprises means for determining that the user equipment is able to process at least an LTM related part of the RRC configuration message prior to applying the configuration associated with the received cell switch command for performing a cell switch. The apparatus further comprises means for determining that a trigger for the user equipment to perform the processing of the LTM related part of the RRC configuration message has been activated andmeans for performing, upon the determination that the trigger for the user equipment to commenceprocessing has been activated, the processing of the LTM related part of the received RRC configuration message within a predefined time.
