Abstract:
A method for matching time synchronization between UEs during Device-to-Device (hereinafter referred to as “D2D”) communication in a radio communication system without involving an Evolved Node B (ENB) is proposed. Using the proposed method, all the UEs can operate to match the time synchronization without malfunction in accordance with a synchronization signal of the ENB even if the UE inside an ENB area and the UE outside the ENB area coexist.
Abstract:
In order to transmit capability information of a user equipment (UE) to an evolved Node B (eNB), the UE may generate a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message including the capability information of the UE, and transmit the generated UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message to the eNB. Here, the capability information of the UE may include at least one band combination supported by the UE and whether Time Division Duplexing-Frequency Division Duplexing Carrier Aggregation (TDD-FDD CA) for the band combination is supported.
Abstract:
A neighbor cell search method and apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) is provided for performing the cell search procedure with the utilization of a Physical Cell Identity (PCI) list of PCIs used by evolved Node Bs (eNBs) for a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) which is from an eNB in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. The cell search method includes selecting a cell of a base station, receiving system information including a Physical Cell Identity (PCI) list used by neighbor Closed Subscribed Group (CSG) cells of the base station, determining whether the terminal is in an any cell selection state for selecting any cell, and searching, when the terminal is in the any cell selection state, neighbor cells without application of the PCI list. The cell search method and apparatus are capable of performing the cell search procedure to appropriate eNBs, resulting in improvement of network attachment efficiency.

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. For licensed assisted access (LAA) technology used in a wireless communication system, an apparatus and a method for scheduling downlink data at a base station is provided. In the method, based on at least one part of parameters of a bearer to which the downlink data belongs, the base station determines a serving cell for scheduling the downlink data. Further, information about the identified serving cell is transmitted to a user equipment (UE).
Abstract:
A method for controlling delay tolerant access of a Machine-Type Communication (MTC) device based on a backoff mechanism is provided. The method includes receiving, at a terminal, a paging message including an access barring information update indicator from a base station, and receiving a System Information Block (SIB) including updated access barring information, the SIB being received regardless of modification periods. The terminal receives the SIB including the updated access barring information immediately without waiting for the arrival of next modification period, resulting in improvement of access barring efficiency.
