Abstract

Provided is a method in which a secondary node (SN) transmits a measurement configuration by multi radio access technology (RAT) dual connectivity. The SN receives, from a master node (MN), measurement configuration information related to a measurement configuration of the SN, transmits, to user equipment (UE), the measurement configuration on the basis of the measurement configuration information, and receives a measurement report on the basis of the measurement configuration from the UE.

Claims (27)

1. A method performed by a secondary node (SN) in a multi radio access technology (RAT) dual connectivity, the method comprising:

receiving, from a master node (MN), a SN addition request message including measurement configuration information related to a measurement configuration of the SN;

transmitting, to the MN, a SN addition request acknowledge message in response to the SN addition request message;

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), the measurement configuration based on the measurement configuration information; and

receiving, from the UE, a measurement report based on the measurement configuration,

wherein the measurement configuration information includes information on a number of measurement frequencies of the SN.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information on the number of measurement frequencies of the SN includes information on a maximum number of measurement frequencies of the SN.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

configuring the measurement frequency as a measurement target.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement configuration information is based on a location of the SN.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement configuration information is based on a characteristic of the UE.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the MN, a response message, which is a response to the measurement configuration information.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the MN is an eNodeB (eNB) of a long-term evolution (LTE) network or a gNB of a new radio access technology (NR) network, and

wherein the SN is the gNB of the NR.

8. A secondary node (SN) in a multi radio access technology (RAT) dual connectivity, the SN comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor connected to the memory and the transceiver, and configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a master node (MN), a SN addition request message including measurement configuration information related to a measurement configuration of the SN;

control the transceiver to transmit, to the MN, a SN addition request acknowledge message in response to the SN addition request message;

control the transceiver to transmit, to a user equipment (UE), the measurement configuration based on the measurement configuration information; and

control the transceiver to receive, from the UE, a measurement report based on the measurement configuration from the UE,

wherein the measurement configuration information includes information on a number of measurement frequencies of the SN.

9. The SN of claim 8 , wherein the information on the number of measurement frequencies of the SN includes information on a maximum number of measurement frequencies of the SN.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is in communication with at least one of a mobile device, a network, and/or autonomous vehicles other than the UE.
