Abstract

A communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) are provided. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method and apparatus of activating/deactivating cells with scalable transmission time intervals (TTIs) is disclosed.

in case that the BSR triggers the second SR and a second counter corresponding to the second SR is lower than a second configured value, transmit, to the base station via the transceiver, the second SR based on the second configuration information and increase the second counter by 1, wherein the second configuration information indicates a time and frequency resource for the second SR and a periodicity for the second SR,

wherein, in case that the first SR is triggered and no other SRs are pending corresponding to the first SR, the first counter is set to 0,

wherein, in case that the second SR is triggered and no other SRs are pending corresponding to the second SR, the second counter is set to 0,

wherein, in case that the first counter is equal to the first configured value, a random access procedure is performed on the base station, and

wherein, in case that the second counter is equal to the second configured value, a random access procedure is performed on the base station.
