Abstract

Provided are a method for a user equipment (UE) to perform access to a cell in a wireless communication, and an apparatus supporting the same. The method may include: receiving, from a first system, access control information for the first system; camping on the cell of a second system; mapping the access control information for the first system to access control information for the second system; and performing access to the cell of the second system, based on the mapped access control information for the second system.

Claims (35)

1. A method of performing, by a user equipment (UE), an access attempt to a cell in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

triggering the access attempt to the cell;

determining an access category related to the access attempt;

mapping the access category to an establishment cause based on a mapping table; and

based on the access attempt not being barred, transmitting, to a base station of the cell, a message requesting establishment of a radio resource control (RRC) connection, the message comprising the establishment cause mapped from the access category,

wherein the access category is mapped, by a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE, to the establishment cause based on the mapping table.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is connected to a core network of a NR system.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing the access attempt to the cell.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the access attempt to the cell is performed based on the establishment cause.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the access attempt to the cell is performed based on the access category.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access category is related to NR system, and the establishment cause is related to LTE system.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the establishment cause is transmitted to the base station, based on that the access attempt to the cell is allowed for the UE.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

configuring the mapping table for mapping the access category to the establishment cause.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the mapping table is pre-configured by the UE.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access category is provided, by a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE, to a radio resource control (RRC) layer of the UE.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the establishment cause mapped from the access category is provided, by a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE, to a radio resource control (RRC) layer of the UE.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, barring information including at least one of barring factor, barring time or bitmap.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access category is an integer value.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access category is determined by a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access category is determined by a radio resource control (RRC) layer of the UE.

16. A user equipment (UE) configured to perform an access attempt to a cell in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

triggering the access attempt to the cell;

determining an access category related to the access attempt;

mapping the access category to an establishment cause based on a mapping table; and

based on the access attempt not being barred, transmitting, to a base station of the cell, a message requesting establishment of a radio resource control (RRC) connection, the message comprising the establishment cause mapped from the access category,

wherein the access category is mapped, by a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE, to the establishment cause based on the mapping table.

17. The UE of claim 16 , wherein the UE is connected to a core network of a NR system.

18. The UE of claim 16 , wherein the access attempt to the cell is performed based on the access category.

19. The UE of claim 16 , wherein the mapping table for mapping the access category to the establishment cause is configured for the UE.
