Abstract:
A method and apparatus for handling radio access network (RAN) assistance information in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives first RAN assistance information for a roaming UE and second RAN assistance information for a nonroaming UE. According to whether the UE is the roaming UE or the non-roaming UE, the UE applies one of the first RAN assistance information or the second RAN assistance information. If the UE is the roaming UE, the UE applies the first RAN assistance information, and if the UE is the non-roaming UE, the UE applies the second RAN assistance information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for canceling a triggered proximity-based services (ProSe) buffer status report (BSR) in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) triggers at least one ProSe BSR, and cancels all triggered ProSe BSR if a specific condition is met. The specific condition may be that a device-to-device (D2D) scheduling assignment for a D2D scheduling period can accommodate all pending data available for D2D transmission or that the ProSe BSR is included in a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) to be transmitted to a network.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting and receiving a group messaging in a wireless communication system and an apparatus for the same is disclosed. Particularly, the method for receiving a group message performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system include receiving assistance information indicating whether a paging message is transmitted for each UE group from a network node, receiving the paging message from the network node on a paging occasion of the UE, when the transmission of the paging message for a group to which the UE is belonged in indicated by the assistance information, and receiving the group message, when a group message transmission for the group to which the UE is belonged is activated by the paging message.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for indicating a device-to-device (D2D) connection in a wireless communication system is provided. An access stratum (AS) layer of a user equipment (UE) receives system information for a D2D mode 1 from a cell, and compares quality of the cell with a threshold. If the quality of the cell is higher than the threshold, the AS layer of the UE indicates a D2D connection with the D2D mode 1 to an upper layer, i.e. a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) minimization of drive test (MDT) in a wireless communication system is provided. Upon receiving a MBMS-MDT configuration from a network, a user equipment (UE) selects a subset of multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) areas among multipleMBSFN areas providing interested MBMS services, and performs MBMS-MDT only for the selected subset of MBSFN areas. The subset of MBSFN areas may be selected based on priorities of the multiple MBSFN areas.
Abstract:
Provided are a method for determining cell coverage for a device-to-device (D2D) operation performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, and a terminal using the method. The method comprises: receiving a specific signal which is repeatedly transmitted from a cell; determining whether successful detection of the specific signal is maintained for at least a specific amount of time; and declaring that the specific signal is beyond the cell coverage, when the successful detection of the specific signal is not maintained for at least the specific amount of time.
Abstract:
A method for device-to-device (D2D) operation performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, and a terminal using the method are provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a cell, resource pool information indicating a first resource pool which may be used in transmitting a D2D signal within the coverage of the cell; and transmitting a D2D signal by using overlapping resources between the first resource pool, and a second resource pool which may be used in the D2D operation outside the coverage of the cell.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for indicating quality of service (QoS) of device-to-device (D2D) data in a wireless communication system is provided. A first user equipment (UE) determines a value of a field in a header based on an identified QoS of the D2D data, and transmits to a second UE a layer 2 protocol data unit (PDU), which includes the header including the field having the determined value. Upon receiving the layer 2 PDU, the second UE identifies the QoS of the D2D data based on the value of the field in the header.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for acquiring multimedia broadcast supplement (MBS) for a public warning system (PWS) in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives MBS information, which indicates a cell supports the MBS for the PWS, from a network. The UE further receives a MBS indication for the PWS from the network. The UE acquires the MBS for the PWS via a broadcast/multicast channel from the network.
Abstract:
A method for device-to-device (D2D) operation performed by a terminal in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state in a wireless communication system, and a terminal using the method are provided. The method comprises: determining whether a serving cell of the terminal is a suitable cell; determining whether the serving sell provides resource pool information; and, if the serving cell is a suitable cell, and the serving cell provides the resource pool information, transmitting a D2D signal within resources indicated by the resource pool information.
