    Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and systems for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system with technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure is applicable to intelligent services based on 5G communication and IoT-related technologies. A method for configuring a connection by a terminal is provided, which includes receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message from a base station, determining whether semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) and transmission time interval (TTI) bundling are configured based on the RRC message, determining whether dual connectivity is configured, if the SPS and the TTI bundling are configured, determining whether the TTI bundling is configured for master cell group (MCG) and the SPS is configured for secondary cell group (SCG), if the dual connectivity is configured, and configuring an RRC connection based on the RRC message, if the TTI bundling is configured for the MCG and the SPS is configured for the SCG.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling mobility for a cell having a small cell service area in a mobile communication system. A method for controlling mobility of a terminal in a mobile communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, can comprise the steps of: performing, by the terminal, a measurement operation; transmitting a measurement result to a base station; determining whether or not a target cell for handover is a cell for which handover is allowed; and skipping the handover if the target cell for handover is the cell for which handover is not allowed. According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the small cells are arranged sparsely or in the form of a cluster within a service area of a macro cell, the possibility of a handover failure can be reduced, and if a radio link failure occurs when handover is omitted, re-connection can be performed quickly by the terminal.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing multiple Timing Advance Groups (TAGs) operating with different timings are provided for use in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. The method for managing multiple TAGs at a base station of a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes categorizing a plurality of carriers into at least one TAG according to a predetermined rule, assigning a TAG index to each TAG, transmitting the TAG index to a terminal, generating a Timing Advance Command (TAC) for synchronization, and transmitting the TAC to the terminal in a random access process. The method and apparatus for managing TAGs according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention is capable of informing of the timing advance group to which each carrier belongs and managing multiple timing advance groups efficiently without signaling overhead.
