Abstract

A method, performed by a terminal, in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving, from a source base station, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including data radio bearer (DRB) configuration information, wherein the DRB configuration information includes an identifier of a DRB and an indicator for a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover, and in case that the DRB configuration information includes service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) configuration information, and completion of a random access to a target base station is indicated by a target medium access control (MAC) entity for the target base station, reconfiguring a SDAP entity based on the SDAP configuration information.

Claims (23)

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

receiving, from a source base station, a control message for a handover, the control message including first information indicating that a data radio bearer (DRB) is configured to a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover; and

in case that the control message further includes second information on a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) entity associated with the DRB, and a random access procedure on a target base station is successfully complete, reconfiguring the SDAP entity based on the second information on the SDAP entity.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein,

in case that the DAPS handover is indicated for the DRB based on the first information, configuring a medium access control (MAC) entity for the target base station; and

performing the random access procedure on the target base station.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second information includes information on uplink quality of service (QoS) flow to DRB mapping.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the target base station, an end-marker for a QoS flow associated with the information on uplink QoS flow to DRB mapping included in the second information, in case that the information on uplink QoS flow to DRB mapping included in the second information is different from stored information on uplink QoS flow to DRB mapping.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the reconfiguring the SDAP entity based on the second information comprises:

applying the information on uplink QoS flow to DRB mapping included in the second information.

6. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive via the transceiver, from a source base station, a control message for a handover, the control message including first information indicating that a data radio bearer (DRB) is configured to a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover, and

in case that the control message further includes second information on a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) entity associated with the DRB, and a random access procedure on a target base station is successfully complete, reconfigure the SDAP entity based on the second information on the SDAP entity.

7. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

in case that the DAPS handover is indicated for the DRB based on the first information, configure a medium access control (MAC) entity for the target base station, and

perform the random access procedure on the target base station.

8. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the second information includes information on uplink quality of service (QoS) flow to DRB mapping.

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

transmit via the transceiver, to the target base station, an end-marker for a QoS flow associated with the information on uplink QoS flow to DRB mapping included in the second information, in case that the information on uplink QoS flow to DRB mapping included in the second information is different from stored information on uplink QoS flow to DRB mapping.

10. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to apply the information on uplink QoS flow to DRB mapping included in the second information.
