Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for supporting or controlling a small cell on or off procedure. The method may comprise steps of receiving, by the MSC from a Source Small Cell (SSC), a Cell Off Indication message including a Cell State Change Indication parameter indicating a cell status of the SSC; transmitting, by the MSC to the SSC, an Expand Indication message indicating an expanding of the MSC when the Cell State Change Indication parameter indicates a cell off status, the Expanding Indication message including a Time to Start Expand parameter indicating when the MSC starts an expanding of its coverage and an Expand Timer parameter indicating a time period during which the expanding is performed; and starting the expanding of its coverage at a time indicated by the Time to Start Expand parameter during the time period indicated by the Expand Timer.
Abstract:
A method by which a terminal for supporting multiple radio access technologies (multi-RAT) recovers when a radio link failure has occurred can comprise the steps of: detecting a radio link failure of a first RAT while maintaining an RRC connection state with the first RAT; determining the radio link failure if a radio link of the first RAT does not recover after a predetermined first time elapses after the detection; and determining whether the radio link failure of the first RAT recovers during a predetermined second time after the determination.
Abstract:
A method of supporting communication using two or more heterogeneous radio access technologies (RAT) comprises: receiving a setup message providing instructions for access to a second base station in a second communication network supporting the second RAT from a first base station in a first communication network supporting a first RAT; and attempting to access the second base station. At this time, when the terminal successfully accesses the second base station, specific traffic type data are transmitted and received through the second base station, and data other than the specific traffic type can be transmitted and received through the first base station.
Abstract:
A location update method for a terminal which supports multiple radio access technologies, according to the present invention, comprises the steps of: a terminal releasing the connection to wireless resources of the base station of a first network, which is able to access different networks simultaneously by using a first and a second radio access technology, in order to maintain an access only to the base station of a second network which uses the second radio access technology; establishing a layer 3 tunnel (L3 tunnel) to a virtual base station of the first network while maintaining an access only to the base station of the second network; and transmitting the location update of the terminal to the virtual base station of the first network to which the L3 tunnel has been established.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for obtaining information on a candidate cooperative device in a wireless communication system is provided. A base station receives information on a candidate source device from the candidate source device, receives information on a candidate cooperative device, discovered by the candidate source device, from the candidate source device, and determines whether the candidate cooperative device is served by the base station or not based on a database which includes information on a plurality of candidate source device served by the base station.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for reporting buffer status for device-to-device (D2D) communication and an apparatus therefor. The method for reporting buffer status in a radio communication system that supports D2D communication comprises: setting up, by a first D2D terminal, a media access control (MAC) packet data unit (PDU) including an ID for a D2D link with a second D2D terminal, in order for D2D buffer status reporting (BSR), if the first D2D terminal is supposed to transmit data to the second D2D terminal; and transmitting the MAC PDU from the first D2D terminal to a network.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for establishing a device-to-device (D2D) connection in a wireless communication system is provided. A first device may establish the D2D connection with a second device. The first device only knows information on neighbor devices of the first device, and a network does not know the information on neighbor devices of the first device. The first device determines whether to establish the D2D connection with the second device or not, based on at least one of a proximity between the first device and the second device based on a profile of the second device obtained through a neighbor discovery procedure, a presence of data to be transmitted to the second device, and a preference for the D2D connection of the first device.
Abstract:
In the present disclosure, a UE transmits a random access preamble (RAP) on a physical random access channel (PRACH) and a control channel (CCCH) service data unit (SDU) on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and receives a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) based on transmitting the RAP and the CCCH SDU. The MAC PDU includes a MAC subheader. The MAC subheader includes a first indicator field regarding whether the MAC subheader include an RAP identity (ID) or not. The MAC subheader further includes a second indicator field regarding whether the MAC subheader includes a backoff indicator field or not, based on the first indicator field set to a value indicating that the MAC subheader does not include an RAP ID.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determination of a maximum number of uplink retransmissions in a wireless communication system is provided. A wireless device receives, from a network, information related to a first retransmission number for a first logical channel and second retransmission number for a second logical channel, determines a retransmission number of a data unit among the first retransmission number and the second retransmission number, and transmits, to the network, information for the retransmission number of the data unit.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the present application, a method for transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) by a terminal in a wireless communication system comprises a step of receiving setting information associated with a PUCCH, and a step of transmitting the PUCCH on the basis of the setting information. The PUCCH is transmitted from a specific PUCCH resource selected from among overlapped PUCCH resources. The specific PUCCH resource is characterized by being associated with beam failure recovery (BFR).
