Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for fusing, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate than a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services, such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retailing, security and safety-related services, etc. on the basis of 5G communication technologies and IoT-related technologies. Disclosed in the disclosure is a method for measurement report/event operation and network signaling in an UE autonomous handover.

Claims (44)

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

receiving, from a source base station, a first message for conditional handover configuration, the first message comprising first information on at least one candidate target base station and second information on at least one execution condition for a conditional handover related to each of the at least one candidate target base station;

in case that a radio link failure (RLF) for the source base station occurs, identifying a suitable cell based on a measurement; and

in case that the suitable cell is associated with a target base station among the at least one candidate target base station, transmitting, to the target base station, a second message for the conditional handover based on the first information,

wherein a radio resource control (RRC) re-establishment procedure of the terminal is not performed after the RLF for the source base station occurs.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the source base station, a third message for releasing the conditional handover configuration; and

releasing the conditional handover configuration.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first information on the at least one candidate target base station includes identifier (ID) information of the at least one candidate target base station, and

wherein the second information on the at least one execution condition for the conditional handover includes measurement ID information.

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

transmitting, to at least one candidate target base station, a request message for requesting a conditional handover;

receiving, from the at least one candidate target base station, a request acknowledge message as a response to the request message; and

transmitting, to a terminal, a first message for conditional handover configuration, the first message comprising first information on the at least one candidate target base station and second information on at least one execution condition for a conditional handover related to each of the at least one candidate target base station,

wherein in case that a radio link failure (RLF) for the base station occurs in the terminal and a suitable cell that is associated with a target base station among the at least one candidate target base station is identified based on a measurement of the terminal, a second message for the conditional handover is transmitted to the target base station according to the first information, and

wherein a radio resource control (RRC) re-establishment procedure of the terminal is not performed after the RLF for the base station occurs in the terminal.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the first information on the at least one candidate target base station includes identifier (ID) information of the at least one candidate target base station, and

wherein the second information on the at least one execution condition for the conditional handover includes measurement ID information.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the terminal, a third message for releasing the conditional handover configuration.

7. A terminal, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a source base station via the transceiver, a first message for conditional handover configuration, the first message comprising first information on at least one candidate target base station and second information on at least one execution condition for a conditional handover related to each of the at least one candidate target base station,

in case that a radio link failure (RLF) for the source base station occurs, identify a suitable cell based on a measurement, and

in case that the suitable cell is associated with a target base station among the at least one candidate target base station, transmit, to the target base station via the transceiver, a second message for the conditional handover based on the first information,

wherein a radio resource control (RRC) re-establishment procedure of the terminal is not performed after the RLF for the source base station occurs.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive, from the source base station via the transceiver, a third message for releasing the conditional handover configuration, and

release the conditional handover configuration.

9. The terminal of claim 7 ,

wherein the first information on the at least one candidate target base station includes identifier (ID) information of the at least one candidate target base station, and

wherein the second information on the at least one execution condition for the conditional handover includes measurement ID information.

10. A base station, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to at least one candidate target base station via the transceiver, a request message for requesting a conditional handover,

receive, from the at least one candidate target base station via the transceiver, a request acknowledge message as a response to the request message, and

transmit, to a terminal via the transceiver, a first message for conditional handover configuration, the first message comprising first information on the at least one candidate target base station and second information on at least one execution condition for a conditional handover related to each of the at least one candidate target base station,

wherein in case that a radio link failure (RLF) for the base station occurs in the terminal and a suitable cell that is associated with a target base station among the at least one candidate target base station is identified based on a measurement of the terminal, a second message for the conditional handover is transmitted to the target base station according to the first information, and

wherein a radio resource control (RRC) re-establishment procedure of the terminal is not performed after the RLF for the base station occurs in the terminal.

11. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to transmit, to the terminal via the transceiver, a third message for releasing the conditional handover configuration.
