    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.
    The present invention provides a method of a base station for supporting an inter-system handover from an evolved packet system (EPS) system to a 5th generation (5G) system. The method comprises receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF), a handover request message including E-UTRAN radio access bearer (E-RAB) information and quality of service (Qos) flow information, identifying whether a protocol data unit (PDU) session is accepted or not, determining whether a data forwarding for at least one Qos flow associated with the PDU session is accepted or not based on the E-RAB information and the Qos flow information in case that the PDU session is accepted and transmitting, to the AMF, a handover request acknowledgement message including information on the at least one Qos flow based on the determination. The method solves the data forwarding problem during the movement of a UE between an LTE system and a 5G system, so that the loss of data is avoided and the continuity of services is ensured.

    Abstract: A method for supporting indication of a failure event to a source access system is provided. The method includes notifying, by the source access system, information of a source cell to a target access system, routing, by the target access system, a message to the base station or the base station controller of the source access through a core network by use of the information of the source cell received from the source access system when the target access system needs to transmit a message to the source access system. By use of the method provided by the present disclosure, a problem of mobility robustness optimization (MRO) among different radio access technology (RAT) may be notified to the source access system, so as to avoid impact for a terminal, reduce operator configuration.

    Abstract: 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 Long Term Evolution (LTE). Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, device and apparatus for initial access, wherein a method for initial access includes: receiving a first configuration message; and establishing a connection between a relay node and an anchor node, based on the first configuration message. The method provided in this disclosure establishes a connection between the relay node and a central unit of the anchor node through the information interaction between base stations and the information interaction between base station and relay node. The present disclosure provides a scheduling method and a first node. The method includes: receiving second scheduling related information reported by at least one second node and first scheduling related information reported by at least one UE that is connected to the at least one second node; generating scheduling information used by the at least one second node for scheduling the connected UE; and transmitting the generated scheduling information to the at least one second node and/or the connected UE. A corresponding second node, third node, and computer readable medium are also provided.
