Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for efficiently transmitting or reporting a Power Headroom Report (PHR) of a User Equipment (UE) are provided. The method of transmitting the PHR of the UE in a mobile communication system includes configuring an extended PHR including an indicator corresponding to a variation factor of a maximum transmission power of the UE, and transmitting the extended PHR from the UE to a Base Station (BS). The BS may be notified of a maximum transmission power of the UE and a variation factor corresponding to the maximum transmission power in order to enable efficient scheduling.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for configuring a radio link of a terminal communicating via aggregated carriers including a primary cell and a secondary cell are provided. The method includes detecting a Radio Link Failure (RLF) for the secondary cell, deactivating the secondary cell, and reporting at least one of a measurement result of the secondary cell and a measurement result of neighboring cell of the secondary cell to a base station. The apparatus includes a transceiver for communicating with a base station, and a controller configured to detect a RLF for the secondary cell, to deactivate the secondary cell, and to report at least one of a measurement result of the secondary cell and a measurement result of neighboring cell of the secondary cell to the base station.
Abstract:
A method and base station in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes transmitting, to a terminal, system information including information associated with a sub-frame configuration of multimedia broadcast multicast service single frequency network (MBSFN) sub-frames, determining a transmission mode of the terminal, the transmission mode indicating one of a first transmission mode and a second transmission mode, transmitting, to the terminal, configuration information of the determined transmission mode of the terminal, transmitting, to the terminal, control information in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a first sub-frame of the MBSFN sub-frames and a second sub-frame of non-MBSFN sub-frames for the terminal, if the terminal is configured in the first transmission mode, and transmitting, to the terminal, the control information in the PDCCH in the second sub-frame of the non-MBSFN sub-frames, if the terminal is configured in the second transmission mode.
Abstract:
The present invention involves defining the operation of a terminal for determining which time alignment timer is to be applied to a certain condition when specific time alignment timers operate for each carrier-wave group in the event a wireless communication system uses a carrier aggregation technique. According to the present invention, a terminal may perform communication without malfunctions using a time alignment timer suitable for a certain condition. In detail, a method for a terminal to operate a time alignment timer according to the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, a message including a timing advance command and an index on a timing advance group (TAG); and operating the time alignment timer for the TAG, wherein the index has a value of 00 when the TAG includes a first cell. In the meantime, a method for a terminal to operate a time alignment timer according to the present invention comprises the steps of: operating a first time alignment timer for a first timing advance group (TAG) including a first cell; operating a second time alignment timer upon receipt of a timing advance command for a second TAG that does not include the first cell; and, if the first time alignment timer has expired, deeming the second time alignment timer to also be expired. In addition, a method for a base station to control a time alignment timer according to the present invention comprises the steps of: determining whether or not an uplink timing of a terminal needs correction; and transmitting a message including a timing advance command and an index on a timing advance group (TAG), wherein the index has a value of 00 when the TAG includes a first cell.
