Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for correcting an error caused by Hyper Frame Number (HFN) and Packet Data Convergence Protocol Sequence Number (PDCP SN) mismatch between a user equipment and base station when the user equipment fails in handover between cells in a wireless communication system. In addition, the present disclosure provides a handover procedure for a user equipment performing handover from a macro cell to a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) cell shared by multiple operators in a wireless communication system. The present disclosure enables a user equipment and base station to perform communication without a malfunction after handover failure. For handover from a macro cell to a CSG cell shared by multiple operators, the present disclosure enables a user equipment to perform handover to an accessible cell.

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for reducing the amount of interference power in a heterogeneous network environment by controlling uplink transmission power of user equipment. The method for a serving base station controlling uplink transmission power includes: receiving from the user equipment a signal measurement report with respect to a first neighboring base station, which transmits the strongest signal to the user equipment; transmitting to the user equipment a control signal including a path loss value, which is to be used for calculating the uplink transmission power; transmitting to the user equipment and the first neighboring base station scheduling information with respect to the user equipment; and receiving from the first neighboring base station an uplink signal of the user equipment which the first neighboring base station has received. The present invention can adjust uplink transmission power based on a small base station close to the user equipment, and enables the small base station to receive uplink signal of the user equipment and forward it to the macro base station, thereby maintaining a Qos of the user equipment and minimizing the amount of interference power affecting another cell.

Abstract:
Operation of a terminal for determining which time alignment timer is applied to a certain condition when specific timers operate for each carrier-wave group in the event a wireless communication system using carrier aggregation techniques. A terminal performs communication without malfunctions using a timer suitable for a certain condition. The terminal operates the timer by receiving, from a base station, a message including a timing advance command and an index on a timing advance group (TAG), operating the timer for the TAG, the index has a value of 00 when the TAG includes a first cell. A terminal operates a timer by operating a first timer for a TAG including a first cell, operating a second timer upon receipt of a timing advance command for a second TAG that does not include the first cell, and, if the first timer has expired, deeming the second timer to also be expired.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for performing a discontinuous reception (DRX) operation while transceiving data using a plurality of carriers in a mobile communication system. The communication method for a terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving a control message, including setting information of a secondary serving cell (SCell) to be added and discontinuous reception setting information, from a primary serving cell (PCell); and applying, if the control message includes an indicator indicating that the first base station to which the SCell to be added belongs and the second base station to which the PCell belongs are different from each other, the DRX setting information to the serving cell of a first base station. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a discontinuous reception (DRX) operation is applied upon the occurrence of inter-base-station carrier aggregation, thus reducing the consumption of a battery.

Methods for performing a random access procedure by a terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system, a terminal, and a base station are provided. The method for performing a random access procedure by a terminal in a wireless communication system includes selecting a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource from one or more PRACH resources; transmitting, to a base station, a random access preamble based on the selected PRACH resource; identifying a random access radio network temporary identifier (RA-RNTI) based on information associated with the selected PRACH resource, wherein the information includes identity information for an uplink used for the random access preamble transmission; and monitoring a control channel for a random access response (RAR) based on the RA-RNTI.
Abstract:
The present disclosure proposes a method for transmitting a buffer status report informing of the data to be transmit in uplink. The method for transmitting buffer status report of a terminal in a wireless communication system includes checking, when allocating uplink resource for new data transmission, whether first buffer status report triggered but not cancelled exists, generating, when the first buffer status report exists, uplink data including the buffer status report, checking whether second buffer status report triggered but not cancelled exist except for the buffers status report included in the uplink data, and determining whether to cancel the second buffer status report depending on whether the first buffer status report is a regular buffer status report or periodic buffer status report. With the proposed method, the terminal is capable of transmitting the padding BSR without extra cancellation operation, resulting in reduction terminal's operation complexity.
