Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided in a wireless communication system. Packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) configuration information that configures a PDCP entity of the terminal to use an uplink data compression (UDC) is received from a base station. The PDCP entity generates a UDC header and a UDC data block, based on the PDCP configuration information. The PDCP entity ciphers the UDC header and the UDC data block. The PDCP entity generates PDCP data including a PDCP header, the ciphered UDC header and the ciphered UDC data block. The generated PDCP data is transmitted to the base station. A header compression is not configured in case that the UDC is configured.
Abstract:
A method and base station in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes transmitting, to a terminal, system information including information associated with a sub-frame configuration of multimedia broadcast multicast service single frequency network (MBSFN) sub-frames, determining a transmission mode of the terminal, the transmission mode indicating one of a first transmission mode and a second transmission mode, transmitting, to the terminal, configuration information of the determined transmission mode of the terminal, transmitting, to the terminal, control information in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a first sub-frame of the MBSFN sub-frames and a second sub-frame of non-MBSFN sub-frames for the terminal, if the terminal is configured in the first transmission mode, and transmitting, to the terminal, the control information in the PDCCH in the second sub-frame of the non-MBSFN sub-frames, if the terminal is configured in the second transmission mode.
Abstract:
The present invention involves defining the operation of a terminal for determining which time alignment timer is to be applied to a certain condition when specific time alignment timers operate for each carrier-wave group in the event a wireless communication system uses a carrier aggregation technique. According to the present invention, a terminal may perform communication without malfunctions using a time alignment timer suitable for a certain condition. In detail, a method for a terminal to operate a time alignment timer according to the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, a message including a timing advance command and an index on a timing advance group (TAG); and operating the time alignment timer for the TAG, wherein the index has a value of 00 when the TAG includes a first cell. In the meantime, a method for a terminal to operate a time alignment timer according to the present invention comprises the steps of: operating a first time alignment timer for a first timing advance group (TAG) including a first cell; operating a second time alignment timer upon receipt of a timing advance command for a second TAG that does not include the first cell; and, if the first time alignment timer has expired, deeming the second time alignment timer to also be expired. In addition, a method for a base station to control a time alignment timer according to the present invention comprises the steps of: determining whether or not an uplink timing of a terminal needs correction; and transmitting a message including a timing advance command and an index on a timing advance group (TAG), wherein the index has a value of 00 when the TAG includes a first cell.

Abstract:
A method for activating/deactivating secondary carriers of a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system supporting carrier aggregation is provided. The method comprises, receiving a control message including an activation/deactivation Control Element (CE) in a first sub-frame from a Base station, identifying an activation command or a deactivation command of at least one secondary carrier based on the control message, determining whether a current sub-frame is a second sub-frame or not, performing at least one first operation for the at least one secondary carrier in a second sub-frame, and performing, when the activation/deactivation CE indicates deactivation of the at least one secondary carrier, at least one second operation for the at least one secondary carrier no later than the second sub-frame.
