Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for acquiring multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) service area information in a wireless communication system. User equipment (UE) acquires at least one first MBMS service area identity (SAI), which corresponds to a MBMS service provided at a first carrier frequency, from system information broadcasted from a first cell. The UE acquires at least one second carrier frequency, which neighbors the first carrier frequency and at which the MBMS service is provided, and at least one second MBMS SAI, which corresponds to the MBMS service provided at the at least one second carrier frequency, from the system information.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for enabling a user equipment to perform a random access procedure in a wireless communication system. The method includes transmitting a random access preamble and receiving a random access response as a response to the random access preamble. The random access response is addressed by a random access identifier. The random access identifier is mapped to radio resources used for transmitting the random access preamble. The user equipment can immediately confirm its random access response and perform further efficient random access procedure.
Abstract:
A method of performing uplink synchronization in a wireless communication system includes transmitting a random access preamble which is randomly selected from a set of random access preambles, receiving a random access response, the random access response comprising a random access preamble identifier corresponding to the random access preamble and a time alignment value for uplink synchronization, starting a time alignment timer after applying the time alignment value, starting a contention resolution timer after receiving the random access response, wherein contention resolution is not successful when the contention resolution timer is expired, and stopping the time alignment timer when the contention resolution timer is expired.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a wireless communication system and terminal for providing a wireless communication service, and more particularly, a method of selectively applying a PDCP function based on data characteristic transmitted through a radio bearer in an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (E-UMTS) evolved from a UMTS, Long Term Evolution (LTE) System or LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system.
Abstract:
In a wireless mobile communications system, a method for controlling a radio resource allocation is provided. A network transmits access control information to a terminal such that a request for the radio resource allocation which will be transmitted from the terminal can be controlled. The terminal selectively transmits the request for the radio resource allocation based on the received information, thus a transmission of an unnecessary request for the radio resource can be minimized, thereby preventing a waste of the radio resource.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of reporting measurement results in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment receives a measurement configuration which configures a plurality of serving cells as measurement objects and performs measurements for the plurality of serving cells based on the measurement configuration to determine measurement results for the plurality of serving cells. The user equipment reports the measurement results for the plurality of serving cells.
Abstract:
A method and terminal for use in a communication system are discussed. The terminal can transmit a random access preamble via a physical random access channel (PRACH) to a network. The terminal may monitor a random access response after transmitting the random access preamble during a specific time window. Furthermore, if no random access response containing a random access preamble identifier corresponding to the transmitted random access preamble is received within the specific time window and a specific random access response contains a backoff indicator subheader is received, a preamble transmission counter is incremented by 1. A subsequent random access preamble transmission is delayed by a backoff time selected using a backoff indicator in the backoff indicator subheader, if the random access preamble was selected by a medium access control (MAC) layer.
Abstract:
A method of discarding logged measurements in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected mode receives a Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT) configuration from a base station and starts a validity timer upon receiving the MDT configuration. The user equipment in an RRC idle mode logs measurements based on the MDT configuration to collect logged measurements while the validity timer is running. When the validity timer is expired, the user equipment discards the MDT configuration and starts a conservation timer. When the conservation timer is expired, the logged measurements are discarded.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for re-selecting a cell by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: determining whether conditions for suspending application of autonomous priority handling are satisfied, the autonomous priority handling applying a priority order of a terminal which is different from a frequency priority order configured from a network for a particular frequency; if conditions for suspension are satisfied, re-selecting a cell by applying the configured priority order from the network to the particular frequency; determining whether start conditions for applying the autonomous priority order are satisfied; and if the start conditions are satisfied, re-selecting a cell by applying the priority order of the terminal for the particular frequency.
Abstract:
A method in which a user equipment processes data in a wireless mobile communication system is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving a first data block from an upper layer, transferring a second data block including the first data block to a lower layer at a particular protocol layer, discarding the first and second data blocks present in the particular protocol layer if a certain period of time has passed, and transferring information associated with the discard of the second data block to the lower layer.
