Abstract:
A User Equipment (UE) category handling method and an apparatus for handling late version UE category attached to an early release version network in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system are provided. A communication method includes transmitting a terminal capability report message including multiple terminal categories, receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message including a terminal category to be used by the terminal according to serving base station of the terminal, and communicating with the network using the terminal category received from the network. The UE category handling method and apparatus of the present invention allows the UE to report a network-adaptive UE category, thereby avoiding soft buffer problem caused by version information mismatch and facilitating communication with the network without malfunctioning.
Abstract:
An improved method and an apparatus for reporting Power Headroom (PH) of a UE are provided. The Power Headroom Report (PHR) method of the present invention includes determining whether to trigger PHR based on a change of Power Management Maximum Power Reduction (P-MPR) between two time points, generating, if PHR is determined to be triggered, Power Headroom, and reporting the Power Headroom information to a base station.
Abstract:
A power headroom report method and apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) provides an efficient resource allocation in a mobile communication system. The power headroom report method of the present disclosure includes calculating a power headroom change by comparing the current power headroom and the previous power headroom. The method also includes determining, when the power headroom change is greater than a predetermined threshold value, whether a report prohibit timer set to a predetermined value has expired. The method further includes reporting the current power headroom when the report prohibit timer has expired, and resetting the prohibit timer to a different value.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for configuring uplink transmission power and apparatus in a mobile communication system supporting downlink and uplink carrier aggregation are provided. The method includes determining a per-terminal maximum transmission power and per-serving cell maximum transmission powers based on ΔTC,c as a value for allowing an adjustment of additional transmission power for multiple serving cells, Maximum Power Reductionc (MPRc) as a value determined according to an amount of transmission resources allocated to the terminal, and Additive-MPRc (A-MPRc) as a value determined according to local characteristics and frequency band characteristics, determining per-serving cell uplink transmission powers by restricting required transmission powers for respective serving cells to the corresponding per-serving cell maximum transmission powers, comparing a sum of the per-serving cell uplink transmission powers with the per-terminal maximum transmission power, and adjusting the per-serving cell uplink transmission powers according to comparison result.
Abstract:
A secondary carrier activation/deactivation method for activating/deactivating secondary carriers in addition to a primary carrier is provided for a mobile communication system supporting carrier aggregation. The method includes identifying, when a secondary carrier control message is received from a base station, carriers to be activated are deactivated, determining, when the message includes a secondary carrier activation command, whether a first time point has arrived, and executing, when the first time point arrives, predetermined first operations. The present invention is advantageous to avoid malfunctions in communication system supporting carrier aggregation by defining UE operations to be taken in SCell activation and deactivation.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting a packet over a radio channel in a mobile communication system. The method includes receiving first packets from an upper layer; checking a number of and a size of the first packets to be bundled in a second packet; generating the second packet using the first packets and a header including an indicator that indicates if the number of and a size of the first packets to be bundled in the second packet satisfy a predetermined condition; and transmitting the generated second packet via a lower layer.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving packet data between a UE and an Enhanced Node B (ENB) using a Hybrid Auto Repeat Request (HARQ) scheme in a mobile communication system. The method includes the steps of receiving configuration information from an ENB, the configuration information including a first Maximum Retransmission Limit (MRL) value to be applied to data that is transmitted over a persistent resource, and when data to be transmitted by the UE is quasi-real time data, transmitting a first data packet to the ENB by using the persistent resource and applying the first MRL value the first data packet, which is configured from the quasi-real time data.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for non-scheduled transmission for a packet service in a mobile communication system are provided. A plurality of allowed maximum packet sizes are defined for the non-scheduled transmission and a UE selects one of the maximum packet sizes under circumstances and sends packets according to the selected maximum packet size in a non-scheduled transmission mode.
Abstract:
Apparatus and Method for transmitting control message related to a packet call service in an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) that transmits/receives an IMS control message using a control plane to reduce a delay caused by setting of a user plane in a packet call setup process. A user equipment (UE) determines whether an IMS service is registered in response to a radio resource control (RRC) connection request. The UE sets an SRB_IMS request parameter requiring that the IMS control message be processed through a signaling radio bearer (SRB) depending on whether the IMS service is registered. The UE transmits an RRC connection request message including the SRB_IMS request parameter to a radio network controller (RNC). The UE configures an SRB_IMS entity.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving system information in a mobile communication system are provided, in which a System Frame Number (SFN) is transmitted as system information, and other system information, which excludes the SFN, is transmitted using resources different from resources used to transmit the SFN on a broadcast channel.
