Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving UE capability information in mobile communication system
In order to transmit capability information of a user equipment (UE) to an evolved Node B (eNB), the UE may generate a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message including the capability information of the UE, and transmit the generated UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message to the eNB. Here, the capability information of the UE may include at least one band combination supported by the UE and whether Time Division Duplexing-Frequency Division Duplexing Carrier Aggregation (TDD-FDD CA) for the band combination is supported.
1. A method for transmitting capability information by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a first message including first information that requests at least one frequency band supported by the terminal;
determining at least one carrier aggregation (CA) band combination supported by the terminal based on the first information; and
transmitting, to the base station, a second message in response to the first message, the second message including the at least one CA band combination supported by the terminal,
wherein the first information includes a plurality of frequency bands.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one CA band combination includes CA band combination including two downlink frequency bands and one uplink frequency band supported by the terminal, and the two downlink frequency bands and the one uplink frequency band are included in the first information.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the second message further comprises at least one other CA band combination including two downlink frequency bands and one uplink frequency band supported by the terminal.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message further comprises at least one non-CA band supported by the terminal.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein CA band combinations in the second message, at least in part, are prioritized based on the first information included in the first message.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message further comprises information indicating at least one frequency band supported by the terminal, and
wherein the first message further comprises second information that requests at least one radio access capability of the terminal.
7. A method for receiving capability information by a base station, the method comprising:
generating a first message including first information that requests at least one frequency band supported by a terminal;
transmitting, to the terminal, the first message; and
receiving, from the terminal, a second message in response to the first message, the second message including at least one carrier aggregation (CA) band combination supported by the terminal determined based on the first information,
wherein the first information includes a plurality of frequency bands.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one CA band combination includes CA band combination including two downlink frequency bands and one uplink frequency band supported by the terminal, and the two downlink frequency bands and the one uplink frequency band are included in the first information.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second message further comprises at least one other CA band combination including two downlink frequency bands and one uplink frequency band supported by the terminal.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second message further comprises at least one non-CA band supported by the terminal.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein CA band combinations in the second message, at least in part, are prioritized based on the first information included in the first message, and
wherein the first message further comprises second information that requests at least one radio access capability of the terminal.
12. A terminal for transmitting capability information in a communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
receive a first message including first information that requests at least one frequency band supported by the terminal from a base station,
determine at least one carrier aggregation (CA) band combination supported by the terminal based on the first information, and
transmit, to the base station, the second message in response to the first message, the second message including the at least one CA band combination supported by the terminal,
wherein the first information includes a plurality of frequency bands.
13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the at least one CA band combination includes CA band combination including two downlink frequency bands and one uplink frequency band supported by the terminal, and the two downlink frequency bands and the one uplink frequency band are included in the first information.
14. The terminal of claim 13 , wherein the second message further comprises at least one other CA band combination including two downlink frequency bands and one uplink frequency band supported by the terminal.
15. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the second message further comprises at least one non-CA band supported by the terminal.
16. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein CA band combinations in the second message, at least in part, are prioritized based on the first information included in the first message.
17. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the second message further comprises information indicating at least one frequency band supported by the terminal, and
wherein the first message further comprises second information that requests at least one radio access capability of the terminal.
18. A base station for receiving capability information, the base station comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
generate a first message including first information that requests at least one frequency band supported by a terminal,
transmit the first message to the terminal, and
receive, from the terminal, a second message in response to the first message, the second message including at least one carrier aggregation (CA) band combination supported by the terminal determined based on the first information,
wherein the first information includes a plurality of frequency bands.
19. The base station of claim 18 , wherein the at least one CA band combination includes CA band combination including two downlink frequency bands and one uplink frequency band supported by the terminal, and the two downlink frequency bands and the one uplink frequency band are included in the first information.
20. The base station of claim 19 ,
wherein the second message further comprises at least one other CA band combination including two downlink frequency bands and one uplink frequency band supported by the terminal,
wherein the second message further comprises at least one non-CA band supported by the terminal, and
wherein the first message further comprises second information that requests at least one radio access capability of the terminal.
