Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reconfiguring multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) minimization of drive test (MDT) in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives a value tag for MBMS-MDT, and determines whether to perform MBMS-MDT reconfiguration by comparing the received value tag for MBMS-MDT with a stored value tag for MBMS-MDT. If the received value tag for MBMS-MDT and the stored value tag for MBMS-MDT are different from each other, the UE performs the MBMS-MDT reconfiguration. Alternatively, if a paging message includes an indicator of modification of the MBMS-MDT configuration, the UE acquires the MBMS-MDT configuration and performs the MBMS-MDT reconfiguration.
Abstract:
Provided is a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a window, a display disposed on a rear surface of the window to output an image, a terminal body having a front surface on which the window is disposed, and an external cover coupled to an outer surface of the terminal body to protect an outer appearance of the terminal body. The external cover comprises a front cover that covers at least one outer surface of top, bottom, left, and right surfaces of the terminal body and a portion of a front surface of the window. Since the external cover covers a portion of a front surface of the mobile terminal in addition to an outer surface of the mobile terminal, an area for protecting the mobile terminal against an external impact or foreign substances may increase.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) minimization of drive test (MDT) in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives a MBMS-MDT timer configuration from a network. A MBMS-MDT timer is newly defined for the MBMS-MDT. The UE starts the MBMS-MDT timer based on the received MBMS-MDT timer configuration when a specific condition, which relates to degradation of quality of MBMS, is met, and while the MBMS-MDT timer is running, the UE performs the MBMS-MDT.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing a random access procedure in a wireless communication system is provided. In one embodiment, a user equipment (UE) determines a required amount of repetitions for uplink transmissions during a random access procedure, and performs repetitions for uplink transmissions based on the determined required amount of repetitions for uplink transmissions. The uplink transmissions may include transmission of preambles which are grouped. In another embodiment, a UE configures a communication windows for lost-cost machine-type communication (MTC) UE, and performs a random access procedure through the configured communication window.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for allocating physical cell identities (PCIs) in a wireless communication system is provided. An eNodeB (eNB) allocates PCIs for split cells of an active antenna system (AAS), and transmits information on range of the allocated PCIs for split cells of the AAS to user equipments (UEs) or neighbor eNBs.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for restricting a frequency in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives restriction information and a timer value from a network, starts a timer based on the timer value, and restricts usage of a frequency based on the restriction information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for delaying transmission of at least one of a buffer status report (BSR) and a power headroom report (PHR) in a wireless communication system. A user equipment (UE) triggers at least one of a BSR and a PHR, but delays transmission of the at least one of the BSR and the PHR to a base station if uplink (UL) transmission is not available. In this case, the UE may not trigger a scheduling request (SR).
Abstract:
Provided is a load-based method for moving carried out by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises obtaining a load level of a serving network and/or a neighboring network, scaling a mobility parameter by applying a scaling factor according to the load level of the serving network and/or a scaling factor according to the load level of the neighboring network, and performing a mobility evaluation of the serving network and the neighboring network based on the scaled mobility parameter.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and a device for receiving information indicating the type of a signaling radio bearer (SRB) in a wireless communication system. A user equipment (UE): receives a first radio resource control (RRC) message including information indicating the type of SRB on which a second RRC message, which is a message corresponding to the first RRC message, is to be transmitted, and transmits the second RRC message via the type of SRB indicated by the information indicating the type of SRB. Accordingly, the type of bearer on which a first message is received and the type of bearer on which a second message is transmitted in a single RRC procedure may be identical or mutually different.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for flushing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) buffer in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives information on multiple resource pools from a network, selects a first resource pool among the multiple resource pools, and stores a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) in the HARQ buffer for transmission via the first resource pool. When the UE reselects a second resource pool among the multiple resource pools, the UE flushes the HARQ buffer.
