Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting aggregated quality of service (QoS) information in a wireless communication system is provided. A first node which controls a first cell configures a combination of aggregated QoS information for each user equipment (UE) which is receiving services from the first cell, and transmitting the combination of aggregated QoS information to a second node which controls a second cell. Upon receiving information combining aggregated QoS information for each UE from a plurality of first nodes, the second node determines whether to switch off a plurality of first cells based on the received information combining aggregated QoS information for each UE.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for enabling user equipment (UE) to steer traffic in a wireless communications system. The method comprises the steps of: transmitting UE traffic steering preference information to a first access network; receiving traffic steering information from the first access network, the traffic steering information being set based on the UE traffic steering preference information; evaluating the traffic steering based on at least one of a first and a second traffic steering rule; and performing the traffic steering between the first access network and a second access network based on the result of the evaluation of the traffic steering. The first traffic steering rule is prescribed by ANDSF (Access Network Discovery and Selection Functions). The second traffic steering rule is prescribed by the first access network.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an operation method carried out by user equipment in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: connecting to a first serving cell; connecting to a second serving cell; and handling configuration used for operating from the second serving cell when the second serving cell is released from being a serving cell. The first serving cell is a primary cell (PCell), and the second serving cell is a secondary cell (SCell).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing a random access procedure in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) determines one random access configuration from a first random access configuration for a normal type of UE and a second random access configuration for a specific type of UE, and transmits a random access preamble based on the second random access configuration to an eNodeB (eNB) if the UE is a specific type of UE. Also, a method and apparatus for establishing, by a UE, a connection in a wireless communication system is provided. The UE transmits a connection request message including bandwidth related information to the eNB.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting information in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) determines whether a failure of traffic steering, between a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) network and a wireless local area network (WLAN), has occurred. If it is determined that the failure of traffic steering has occurred, the UE logs information on the failure of traffic steering, and transmits the information on the failure of traffic steering to the 3GPP network when the connection with the 3GPP network is established.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for operating time alignment timer (TAT). The method may comprise: operating a first TAT in a first medium access control (MAC) entity; operating a second TAT in a second MAC entity; and if the first TAT operated in the first MAC entity is expired, considering the second TAT operated in the second MAC entity as expired.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for communicating performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises receiving a traffic routing configuration from a first access network, the traffic routing configuration specifying a traffic routing criteria for routing and processing traffic, discovering at least one second network entity by searching a second access network, conducting a traffic routing evaluation to determine whether the at least one second access network satisfies the traffic routing criteria, reporting a routing evaluation result to the first access network when the traffic routing criteria are satisfied, receiving a traffic routing indication from the first access network, and processing the traffic based on the traffic routing indication. When the traffic routing indication indicates traffic of the first access network is processed through the second access network, the traffic of the first access network is processed through the second access network.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for communicating carried out by a terminal in a wireless communication system supporting a multiple access network. The method comprises receiving from a first access network second access network service information, determining whether traffic processing through the second access network is allowed based on the second access network service information, and processing all or a portion of the traffic on the first access network through the second access network.
Abstract:
A method for receiving a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising acquiring, by the UE, a predetermined system information block (SIB) from a base station (BS); and upon acquiring the predetermined SIB, transmitting an MBMS interest indication message by the UE to the BS. The predetermined SIB includes information related to MBMS service continuity. Whether the transmitting of the MBMS interest indication message is allowed is provided to the UE through the predetermined SIB.
