Method and device for performing improved communication in wireless communication system
Disclosed are a communication technique for merging, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system, and a system thereof. The present disclosure can be applied to an intelligent service (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security and safety-related services, and the like), based on a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method by which a terminal updates system information, and a terminal for performing the method, which comprises the steps of: acquiring first system information and second system information from a first cell; starting a timer corresponding to the second system information; determining whether the second cell is a cell that shares the second system information with the first cell, if the terminal has moved from the first cell to the second cell; and updating the second system information on the basis of the determination result.
1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:
obtaining, from a first cell, first system information corresponding to a first value tag and second system information corresponding to a second value tag, wherein the first system information is cell specific and the second system information is area specific for an area;
after obtaining the first system information and the second system information and in response to determining that the terminal moves to a second cell belonging to the area:
updating the first system information regardless of the first value tag and restarting a first validity timer for the first system information;
determining whether the second value tag has changed or not changed based on information obtained from the second cell;
in response to determining that the second value tag has not changed, not updating the second system information and remaining an operation of a second validity timer for the second system information; and
in response to determining that the second value tag has changed, updating the second system information and restarting the second validity timer for the second system information.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the terminal moves to a third cell not belonging to the area:
updating the first system information regardless of the first value tag and restarting the first validity timer for the first system information; and
in response to determining that the terminal moves to the third cell not belongs to the area:
updating the second system information regardless of the second value tag and restarting the second validity timer for the second system information.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
starting the first validity timer for the first system information as a response to obtaining the first system information; and
starting the second validity timer for the second system information as a response to obtaining the second system information.
4. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the first system information is deleted when the first validity timer for the first system information expires, and
wherein the second system information is deleted when the second validity timer for the second system information expires.
5. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
obtain, from a first cell, first system information corresponding to a first value tag and second system information corresponding to a second value tag, wherein the first system information is cell specific and the second system information is area specific for an area,
after obtaining the first system information and the second system information and in response to determining that the terminal moves to a second cell belonging to the area:
update the first system information regardless of the first value tag and restart a first validity timer for the first system information,
determine whether the second value tag has changed or not changed based on information obtained from the second cell,
in response to determining that the second value tag has not changed, not update the second system information and remain an operation of a second validity timer for the second system information, and
in response to determining that the second value tag has changed, update the second system information and restart the second validity timer for the second system information.
6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
in response to determining that the terminal moves to a third cell not belonging to the area:
update the first system information regardless of the first value tag and restart the first validity timer for the first system information, and
in response to determining that the terminal moves to the third cell not belongs to the area:
update the second system information regardless of the second value tag and restart the second validity timer for the second system information.
7. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
start the first validity timer for the first system information as a response to obtaining the first system information, and
start the second validity timer for the second system information as a response to obtaining the second system information.
8. The terminal of claim 5 ,
wherein the first system information is deleted when the first validity timer for the first system information expires, and
wherein the second system information is deleted when the second validity timer for the second system information expires.
