Abstract

A method may be provided for configuring wireless connection of a terminal with a mobile communication network The method of an access unit may include transmitting, to a central unit, a first message having an uplink RRC message received from the terminal; receiving, from the central unit, a second message having a downlink RRC message; and transmitting the downlink RRC message to the terminal.

Claims (26)

1. A method of configuring, by an access unit, a wireless connection of a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving an uplink radio resource control (RRC) message from a terminal, including the uplink RRC message into a first message, and transmitting the first message to a central unit;

receiving a second message from the central unit, where the second message includes a downlink RRC message in response to the uplink RRC message from the terminal; and

transmitting the downlink RRC message to the terminal,

wherein the access unit and the central unit distinguish signaling radio bearers based on radio bearer identification information-included in the first message and the second message.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the access unit comprises a node configured to provide an RLC function, a MAC function, and a PHY function, for transmission of user plane data, and

the central unit comprises a node configured to provide a PDCP function, for transmission of the user plane data.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first message comprises at least one of an RRC connection request message received from the terminal and a C-RNTI.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second message comprises at least one of an RRC connection setup message, a C-RNTI, and signaling radio bearer identification information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first message includes an RRC connection setup complete message, and the second message includes at least one of an RRC connection reconfiguration message and a security mode command message.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the first message includes SRB1 signaling radio bearer identification information.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the second message includes at least one of radio bearer identification information and QoS parameter information, for setup of terminal context.

8. An access unit for configuring a wireless connection of a terminal, comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a first message to a central unit, where the first message includes an uplink RRC message received from a terminal; and

a receiver configured to receive a second message from the central unit, where the second message includes a downlink RRC message in response to the uplink RRC message from the terminal,

wherein the transmitter transmits the downlink RRC message to the terminal, and

wherein the access unit and the central unit distinguish signaling radio bearers based on radio bearer identification information included in the first message and the second message.

9. The access unit according to claim 8 , wherein

the access unit comprises a node configured to provide an RLC function, a MAC function, and a PHY function, for transmission of user plane data, and

the central unit comprises a node configured to provide a PDCP function, for transmission of the user plane data.

10. The access unit according to claim 8 , wherein the first message comprises at least one of an RRC connection request message received from the terminal and a C-RNTI.

11. The access unit according to claim 8 , wherein the second message comprises at least one of an RRC connection setup message, a C-RNTI, and signaling radio bearer identification information.

12. The access unit according to claim 8 , wherein the first message includes an RRC connection setup complete message, and the second message includes radio resource configuration information of the central unit an RRC connection reconfiguration message or a security mode command message.

13. The access unit according to claim 12 , wherein the first message includes SRB1 signaling radio bearer identification information.

14. The access unit according to claim 12 , wherein the second message includes at least one of radio bearer identification information and QoS parameter information.
