Abstract

Disclosed are a method of accessing a network in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method of accessing a network by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system may include receiving, from the network, a skip condition for an access barring check operation for a cell supported by a base station, determining whether the UE satisfies the skip condition for the access barring check operation, determining that access to the network on the cell has not been barred when the skip condition for the access barring check operation is satisfied, and performing the access to the network on the cell without performing the access barring check operation.

Claims (33)

1. A method of accessing, by a user equipment (UE), a network in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from the network, a skip condition for an access barring check operation for a cell supported by the network;

determining whether the UE satisfies the skip condition for the access barring check operation;

determining that access to the network on the cell has not been barred based on the skip condition for the access barring check operation being satisfied; and

performing the access to the network on the cell without performing the access barring check operation,

wherein the skip condition for the access barring check operation comprises one or more of a support of E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity (ENDC), a support of multi-RAT dual connectivity (MRDC), a support of licensed assisted access (LAA), a support of an LTE-WLAN aggregation (LWA), or a support of a new RAT (NR), and

wherein the skip condition for the access barring check operation further comprises frequency information to which the skip condition for the access barring check operation is applied.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the access barring check operation comprises one or more of access control barring (ACB), extended access barring (EAB), or application specific congestion control for data communication (ACDC).

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein based on a plurality of the access barring check operations being used, a skip condition for the access barring check operation is transmitted for each access barring check operation.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a radio resource control (RRC) message transmitted to perform the access to the network comprises information on an access barring check operation skipped by the UE and/or information on a skip condition for an access barring check operation satisfied by the UE.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a random access preamble resource for performing the access to the network is allocated to a UE satisfying a skip condition for a specific access barring check operation.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein based on the UE satisfying the skip condition for the specific access barring check operation, the UE transmits, on the allocated random access preamble resource, a random access preamble for performing the access to the network.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the network, information on whether the skip of the access barring check operation is allowed.

8. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the information on whether the skip of the access barring check operation is allowed indicates that a skip of what access barring check operation is allowed based on data to be transmitted by the UE.

9. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein based on the skip of the access barring check operation being allowed based on the data to be transmitted by the UE, whether the UE satisfies the skip condition for the access barring check operation is determined.

10. A user equipment (UE) configured to perform access to a network in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive radio signals; and

at least one processor configured to control the transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from the network, a skip condition for an access barring check operation for a cell supported by the network,

determine whether the UE satisfies the skip condition for the access barring check operation,

determine that access to the network on the cell has not been barred based on the skip condition for the access barring check operation being satisfied, and

perform the access to the network on the cell without performing the access barring check operation,

wherein the skip condition for the access barring check operation comprises one or more of a support of E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity (ENDC), a support of multi-RAT dual connectivity (MRDC), a support of licensed assisted access (LAA), a support of an LTE-WLAN aggregation (LWA) or a support of a new RAT (NR), and

wherein the skip condition for the access barring check operation further comprises frequency information to which the skip condition for the access barring check operation is applied.
