Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication scheme and system for converging a 5 th generation (5G) communication system for supporting a data rate higher than that of a 4 th generation (4G) system with an internet of things (IoT) technology. The disclosure is applicable to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, retail, and security and safety-related services) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. The disclosure relates to a technology about system information request-related operations of a terminal and a base station.

Claims (56)

1. A method by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, a first message for initiating a random access procedure;

receiving, from the base station, a second message including a timing advance command, a temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and an uplink grant, based on the first message;

starting a time alignment timer associated with the timing advance command;

transmitting, to the base station, a third message based on the uplink grant;

receiving, from the base station, a fourth message for a completion of the random access procedure, based on the third message; and

stopping the time alignment timer associated with the timing advance command based on a contention resolution for the random access procedure being identified successful by the fourth message, in case that the random access procedure was initiated for system information (SI) request,

wherein the temporary C-RNTI is discarded according to the reception of the fourth message, based on the random access procedure being initiated for the SI request.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the fourth message is a contention resolution message, and

wherein the contention resolution is identified successful based on the fourth message being received before an expiration of a timer for monitoring a reception of the contention resolution message.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein C-RNTI is set to the temporary C-RNTI according to a reception of the fourth message, based on the random access procedure not being initiated for the SI request.

4. A method by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a terminal, a first message for initiating a random access procedure;

transmitting, to the terminal, a second message including a timing advance command, a temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI), and an uplink grant, based on the first message;

receiving, from the terminal, a third message based on the uplink grant; and

transmitting, to the terminal, a fourth message for a completion of the random access procedure, based on the third message,

wherein a time alignment timer associated with the timing advance command is started by the terminal based on the second message,

wherein the time alignment timer associated with the timing advance command is stopped by the terminal based on a contention resolution for the random access procedure being identified successful by the fourth message, in case that the random access procedure was initiated for SI request, and

wherein the temporary C-RNTI is discarded by the terminal according to the reception of the fourth message, based on the random access procedure being initiated for the SI request.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the fourth message is a contention resolution message, and

wherein the contention resolution is identified successful by the terminal based on the fourth message being received before an expiration of a timer for monitoring a reception of the contention resolution message.

6. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein C-RNTI is set to the temporary C-RNTI by the terminal according to a reception of the fourth message, based on the random access procedure not being initiated for the SI request.

7. A terminal in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit, to a base station, a first message for initiating a random access procedure,

control the transceiver to receive, from the base station, a second message including a timing advance command, a temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI), and an uplink grant, based on the first message,

start a time alignment timer associated with the timing advance command,

control the transceiver to transmit, to the base station, a third message based on the uplink grant,

control the transceiver to receive, from the base station, a fourth message for a completion of the random access procedure, based on the third message,

stop the time alignment timer associated with the timing advance command based on a contention resolution for the random access procedure being identified successful by the fourth message, in case that the random access procedure was initiated for system information (SI) request, and

discard the temporary C-RNTI according to the reception of the fourth message, based on the random access procedure being initiated for the SI request.

8. The terminal of claim 7 ,

wherein the fourth message is a contention resolution message, and

wherein the controller is configured to identify a success of the contention resolution based on the fourth message being received before an expiration of a timer for monitoring a reception of the contention resolution message.

9. The terminal of claim 7 ,

wherein the controller is further configured to set C-RNTI to the temporary C-RNTI according to a reception of the fourth message, based on the random access procedure not being initiated for the SI request.

10. A base station in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a terminal, a first message for initiating a random access procedure,

control the transceiver to transmit, to the terminal, a second message including a timing advance command, a temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI), and an uplink grant, based on the first message,

control the transceiver to receive, from the terminal, a third message based on the uplink grant, and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the terminal, a fourth message for a completion of the random access procedure, based on the third message,

wherein a time alignment timer associated with the timing advance command is started by the terminal based on the second message,

wherein the time alignment timer associated with the timing advance command is stopped by the terminal based on a contention resolution for the random access procedure being identified successful by the fourth message, in case that the random access procedure was initiated for SI request, and

wherein the temporary C-RNTI is discarded by the terminal according to the reception of the fourth message, based on the random access procedure being initiated for the SI request.

11. The base station of claim 10 ,

wherein the fourth message is a contention resolution message, and

wherein the contention resolution is identified successful by the terminal based on the fourth message being received before an expiration of a timer for monitoring a reception of the contention resolution message.

12. The base station of claim 10 ,

wherein C-RNTI is set to the temporary C-RNTI by the terminal according to a reception of the fourth message, based on the random access procedure not being initiated for the SI request.
