The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE).The present disclosure provides a method and system for enabling discontinuous reception (DRX) over an unlicensed band in cellular networks. In one embodiment, the method comprises of monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), an unlicensed channel at a pre-configured on period of a DRX cycle, wherein the UE wakes up during a DRX on period and sleeps during DRX off period, receiving an indication of extension of the DRX on period from an associated evolved node B (eNB) when the associated eNB is unable to acquire an unlicensed channel during a DRX on period of the licensed channel and continuously monitoring the unlicensed band for the extended DRX on period. The time period for extension of the DRX on period of the unlicensed channel is selected from a set of pre-specified extension values. The present disclosure further enables the UE to terminate monitoring of the DRX on period of the unlicensed channel upon receiving a stop monitoring indication from the associated eNB.

Method and system for minimizing channel preservation time in a cellular communication network. The system, after channel sensing and if the channel is free, dynamically determines a Preservation Signal (PS) value, and then adjusts the channel preservation time, based on the determined PS value. The system can minimize the channel preservation time, by restarting data transmission upon detecting a symbol boundary, while the data transmission is in progress.

A method of enabling cell acquisition in a wireless communication includes determining, by a first base station, a Mobile Station (MS) located at a granularity of a first frequency carrier cell sector level, identifying at least one second base station within the first frequency carrier cell sector level, transmitting a second frequency carrier cell search command to the MS and identifying, by the MS, the second frequency carrier cell based on one or more parameters defined in the search command. The first frequency carrier cell enables the MS to search for the second frequency carrier cell by providing a predefined number of synchronization slots to be monitored based on the location information of the MS.

In wireless communication system each MS is assigned a globally unique address. The method and system use one of these globally unique addresses to identify the MS. The efficient method of signaling this large size MS address (MS ID) is proposed. The ‘n’ bit MS ID is divided into ‘p’ parts wherein ‘p’ is greater than 1. The MS is addressed or identified using ‘x’ parts from a set of ‘p’ parts of MS ID, wherein ‘x’
