Abstract:

A user equipment that includes a radio transceiver that performs wireless communication in an unlicensed band, and circuitry that performs RLM using downlink physical signals, measures a radio link quality, evaluates the radio link quality against thresholds Q.sub.out and Q.sub.in, indicates out-of-sync to higher layers from a physical layer, indicates in-sync to the higher layers from the physical layer, starts a first timer when the out-of-sync is consecutively indicated to the higher layers from the physical layer, and determines that a radio link failure occurs in a case where the first timer expires without consecutive in-sync indications, and the first timer is different from a second timer used to determine whether a radio link failure occurs in a wireless communication in one or more serving cells in a licensed band.
