Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for managing a Local IP Access (LIP A) connection in a local network system. The method of managing a LIP A connection of UE in a connected state according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of a source home base station for UE determining a handover of the UE; when the handover of the UE is determined, determining whether a target home base station is a Long Term Evolution (LTE) release 10 or a Pre Rel-11 HeNB; and when the target home base station is a Pre Rel-11 HeNB, disconnecting the LIP A connection of the UE. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mobility of UE having a LIPA PDN connection can be efficiently controlled in a local network where a Rel-11 H(e)NB and a Pre Rel-11 H(e)NB exist together.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for reporting power headroom in a mobile communication system supporting carrier aggregation. A user equipment (UE) determines the maximum transmit power for each carrier and the maximum UE transmit power, and sends a power headroom report that contains power headroom for each carrier computed based on the maximum transmit power for the carrier and the maximum UE transmit power to a corresponding base station (ENB).
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for controlling network access of a User Equipment (UE) based on the network's load and time tolerance (delay tolerance) are provided. A network access method for a terminal in a wireless communication system includes sending an access request message containing a time-tolerant indicator at a predefined time, determining, when a reject message is received, a cause value and a hold time contained in the reject message, and re-sending the access request message after the hold time elapses.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method and system for transmitting media preference information related to an emergency call in a mobile communication system. The method for transmitting media preference information associated with an emergency call may include: sending, by a user equipment (UE), an emergency call request message containing media preference information of a user associated with an emergency call to the Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF); sending, by the P-CSCF, application service information containing the media preference information to the Policy and Charging Rule Function (PCRF); and determining, by the PCRF, a policy to be used for controlling the UE on the basis of the media preference information.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of selecting a public land mobile network (PLMN) for network sharing, and a method of communicating at a base station according to one embodiment of the present invention may include: receiving from a core network a handover request message including information on whether to support network sharing of user equipment (UE); selecting a PLMN identification (ID) by using information on whether to support network sharing of the UE; and transmitting the selected PLMN ID to the UE. According to one embodiment of the present invention, since a source base station, a target base station or a core network node may select a correct PLMN depending on the situation of UE when carrying out a handover, it is possible to decrease unnecessary signaling and errors in a network sharing situation.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for selecting a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). A method for providing a PLMN list in a Mobility Management Entity (MME) may include: receiving a request from a user equipment (UE); determining whether the UE prefers Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) according to the request; and sending, when the UE prefers VoLTE, a variant equivalent PLMN list that contains, for each PLMN, information indicating whether VoLTE is supported by the PLMN or a VoLTE-support PLMN list that contains only PLMNs supporting VoLTE. Hence, the UE having a preference for VoLTE may select an equivalent PLMN supporting VoLTE in an effective manner.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a system for managing an emergency call between a terminal and a network by using a non-access stratum protocol in a mobile communication network. A method for providing an emergency call service by a terminal in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: enabling the terminal to transmit an access request message including an emergency call identifier to a mobility management entity; enabling the terminal to attempt to authenticate the mobility management entity after the step of transmitting the access request message; enabling the terminal to receive an access grant message including the emergency call identifier from the mobility management entity; and enabling the terminal which receives the access grant message, to provide an emergency call service through the mobility management entity. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the emergency call is enabled.

Abstract:
The present invention relates a method and apparatus for setting a group-based connection. A connection setting method for a network entity according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: receiving a request including at least one packet filter from a terminal; obtaining a group identifier corresponding to the packet filter by using the packet filter; when a group bearer corresponding to the group identifier does not exist, generating a group bearer corresponding to the group identifier; and performing allocation such that communication corresponding to the request is performed through the generated group bearer. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a service can be efficiently provided to a terminal.
Abstract:
A handover method and apparatus for facilitating a handover of a user equipment to a femto cell in a wireless communication system supporting both the femto and macro cells. When a handover condition is detected, the user equipment acquires identity information of a target femto cell base station from system information transmitted by the target femto cell base station, decides whether to handover to the target femto cell base station, based on the identity information; and transmits a measurement report message including the identity information to a serving base station of the user equipment, when the handover is to be made.
