Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5 th -Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4 th -Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The present disclosure discloses a system, a data transmission method and a network equipment supporting a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) duplication function. The data transmission method supporting a PDCP duplication function comprises the steps of: transmitting, by a first network equipment, a configuration instruction message of a radio bearer supporting a PDCP duplication function to a second network equipment; and, performing, by the first network equipment and the second network equipment, transmission of a data packet of the radio bearer configured with the PDCP duplication function. In the present disclosure, by an interface between the first network equipment and the second network equipment, the transmission of duplicated data packets between the first network equipment and the second network equipment is realized, and the reliability of data transmission is improved. The present disclosure also discloses a method and device for transferring supplementary uplink carrier configuration information and a method and device for performing a connection mobility adjustment.

Claims (44)

1. A method performed by a central unit (CU) of a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a distributed unit (DU) of the base station, a setup request message, wherein the setup request message includes a first cell identifier (ID) of a primary cell (PCell) or a primary secondary cell group (SCG) cell (PSCell), a first information indicating that both uplink (UL) and supplementary uplink (SUL) are configured for the PCell or the PSCell, a second cell ID of a secondary cell (SCell), and second information indicating that both of UL and SUL are configured for the SCell;

receiving, from the DU of the base station, a setup response message as a response to the setup request message, wherein the setup response message includes a user equipment (UE)-specific configuration associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the SUL; and

receiving, from the DU of the base station, an initial UL radio resource control (RRC) message including SUL access indication information indicating that the UE has performed an access on the SUL.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the setup response message further includes at least one of:

identification information of a serving cell setup for the UE,

SUL carrier configuration information of the serving cell, or

UL carrier configuration information of the serving cell.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE via the DU of the base station, the SUL carrier configuration information.

4. A method performed by a distributed unit (DU) of a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a central unit (CU) of the base station, a setup request message, wherein the setup request message includes a first cell identifier (ID) of a primary cell (PCell) or a primary secondary cell group (SCG) cell (PSCell), a first information indicating that both of uplink (UL) and supplementary uplink (SUL) are configured for the PCell or the PSCell, a second cell ID of a secondary cell (SCell), and second information indicating that both of UL and SUL are configured for the SCell;

transmitting, to the CU of the base station, a setup response message as a response to the setup request message, wherein the setup response message includes a user equipment (UE)-specific configuration associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the SUL; and

transmitting, to the CU of the base station, an initial UL radio resource control (RRC) message including SUL access indication information indicating that the UE has performed and access on the SUL.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the setup response message further includes at least one of:

identification information of a serving cell setup for the UE,

SUL carrier configuration information of the serving cell, or

UL carrier configuration information of the serving cell.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, the SUL carrier configuration information.

7. A central unit (CU) of a base station in a wireless communication system, the CU comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver, and configured to:

transmit, to a distributed unit (DU) of the base station, a setup request message, wherein the setup request message includes a first cell identifier (ID) of a primary cell (PCell) or a primary secondary cell group (SCG) cell (PSCell), a first information indicating that both of uplink (UL) and supplementary uplink (SUL) are configured for the PCell or the PSCell, a second cell ID of a secondary cell (SCell), and second information indicating that both of UL and SUL are configured for the SCell;

receive, from the DU of the base station, a setup response message as a response to the setup request message, wherein the setup response message includes a user equipment (UE)-specific configuration associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the SUL; and

receive, from the DU of the base station, an initial UL a radio resource control (RRC) message including SUL access indication information indicating that the UE has performed an access on the SUL.

8. The CU of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

transmit, to the UE via the DU of the base station, SUL carrier configuration information.

9. The CU of claim 8 , wherein the setup response message further includes at least one of:

identification information of a serving cell setup for the UE,

the SUL carrier configuration information of the serving cell, or

UL carrier configuration information of the serving cell.

10. A distributed unit (DU) of a base station in a wireless communication system, the DU comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a central unit (CU) of the base station, a setup request message, wherein the setup request message includes a first cell identifier (ID) of a primary cell (PCell) or a primary secondary cell group (SCG) cell (PSCell), a first information indicating that both of uplink (UL) and supplementary uplink (SUL) are configured for the PCell or the PSCell, a second cell ID of a secondary cell (SCell), and second information indicating that both of UL and SUL are configured for the SCell,

transmit, to the CU of the base station, a setup response message as a response to the setup request message, wherein the setup response message includes a user equipment (UE)-specific configuration associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the SUL, and

transmit, to the CU of the base station, an initial UL radio resource control (RRC) message including SUL access indication information indicating that the UE has performed an access on the SUL.

11. The DU of claim 10 , wherein the setup response message further includes at least one of:

identification information of a serving cell setup for the UE,

SUL carrier configuration information of the serving cell, or

UL carrier configuration information of the serving cell.

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