Abstract

The present disclosure relates to 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). 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. The present invention provides a method for random access by a terminal, the method comprising the steps of: transmitting a first message for random access to a base station; receiving, from the base station, a second message including information related to backoff of each beam transmitted by the base station; and storing information related to the backoff of each beam.

Claims (54)

1. A method for performing random access by a terminal in a wireless communication system supporting beamforming, the method comprising:

transmitting a first message for performing random access to a base station;

receiving, from the base station, a second message including information related to backoff of each beam generated by measuring an overhead subframe;

storing the information related to backoff of each beam;

transmitting, to the base station, a third message based on uplink grant information included in the second message; and

resetting the stored information related to backoff of each beam, in case that a fourth message corresponding to the third message is received within a pre-configured time interval after the transmission of the third message.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

retransmitting the first message, based on the information related to backoff, in case that a fourth message corresponding to the third message is not received within the pre-configured time interval after the transmission of the third message.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the information related to backoff comprises information related to a retransmission timing range of the first message, and

wherein the retransmitting of the first message comprises:

determining randomly a retransmission timing of the first message within the retransmission timing range of the first message, and

retransmitting the first message after the determined retransmission timing.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information related to a beam group including at least one beam from the base station,

wherein the storing of the information related to backoff of each beam comprises storing information related to backoff of each beam group, based on the information related to a beam group.

5. A method for performing random access by a base station in a wireless communication system supporting beamforming, the method comprising:

receiving a first message for performing random access from a terminal;

generating information related to backoff of each beam by measuring an overhead subframe;

transmitting a second message including the information related to backoff of each beam to the terminal; and

receiving, from the terminal, a third message based on uplink grant information included in the second message,

wherein the information related to backoff of each beam is stored by the terminal, and

wherein the stored information related to backoff of each beam is reset, in case that a fourth message corresponding to the third message is received within a pre-configured time interval after the transmission of the third message.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

transmitting information related to a beam group including at least one beam to the terminal.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the generating of the information related to backoff of each beam comprises generating information related to backoff of each beam group, based on the information related to a beam group.

8. A terminal of a wireless communication system supporting beamforming, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory; and

a at least one processor configured to:

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

receive, from the base station via the transceiver, a second message including information related to backoff of each beam generated by measuring an overhead subframe,

store the information related to backoff of each beam in the memory,

control the transceiver to transmit, to the base station, a third message based on uplink grant information included in the second message, and

reset the stored information related to backoff of each beam which is stored in the memory, in case that a fourth message corresponding to the third message is received within a pre-configured time interval after the transmission of the third message.

9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

control the transceiver to, in case that a fourth message corresponding to the third message is not received within the pre-configured time interval after the transmission of the third message, retransmit the first message, based on the information related to backoff.

10. The terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein the information related to backoff comprises information related to a retransmission timing range of the first message, and

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine randomly a retransmission timing of the first message within the retransmission timing range of the first message, and

control the transceiver to, after the determined retransmission timing, retransmit the first message.

11. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive, via the transceiver, information related to a beam group including at least one beam from the base station, and

store information related to backoff of each beam group in the memory, based on the information related to a beam group.

12. A base station of a wireless communication system supporting beamforming, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

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

generate information related to backoff of each beam by measuring an overhead subframe,

control the transceiver to transmit a second message including the information related to backoff of each beam to the terminal, and control the transceiver to receive, from the terminal, a third message based on uplink grant information included in the second message,

wherein the information related to backoff of each beam is stored by the terminal, and

wherein the stored information related to backoff of each beam is reset, in case that a fourth message corresponding to the third message is received within a pre-configured time interval after the transmission of the third message.

13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit information related to a beam group including at least one beam to the terminal.
