Abstract

The details of an apparatus and methods of handling simultaneous universal terrestrial radio access network radio resource control procedures with activation times in a universal mobile telecommunications system user equipment are disclosed herein. According to one aspect, the apparatus includes a message handler to receive a received message from the UTRAN, a sequential processor to receive an ongoing command, a command store connected to the message handler to save the received command. The message handler determines if there is an existing command at the user equipment such that the user equipment appears to the UTRAN as though it were processing the select commands simultaneously while actually processing the existing command sequentially. According to another aspect, the method includes the steps of: determining if there is an existing command at the user equipment; and if there is an existing command at the user equipment, processing the existing command prior to processing any received commands such that the user equipment appears to be processing commands simultaneously. According to a third aspect, the method includes the steps of: determining the current time (T); and det…
