Abstract
A method and wireless device (700) for applying a Radio Resource Control, RRC, configuration in a radio communication between the wireless device and a serving base station (702a) of a wireless communication network (702). The wireless device (700) obtains a set of RRC configurations (704), each RRC configuration comprising a plurality of radio parameters dictating how the wireless device should operate in the network (702). The wireless device (700) further receives an indication (706) from the serving base station reflecting a network state of the wireless communication network (702), and then selects and applies an RRC configuration out of the set of RRC configurations, based on the received indication. Thereby, capacity and performance can be improved in the network by reduced signalling with the wireless device (700) and more flexible usage of RRC configuration suitable for the network state.
