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 (43)

1. A method of performing, by a base station (BS), wireless communication, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a message requesting establishment of a radio resource control (RRC) connection, the message including an establishment cause mapped from an access category,

wherein a type of access is determined based on a request to access a cell of the BS,

wherein the access category for the request is determined based on the type of access,

wherein the access category is mapped to the establishment cause based on a mapping table configured for the UE, and

wherein, based on access to the cell not being barred for the request, the message including the establishment cause mapped from the access category is received from the UE,

wherein the access category is provided from a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE to an RRC layer of the UE.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the type of access is related to a type of service or call for the request to access the cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access category is determined as an integer value.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the establishment cause is related to at least one of mobile-originated (MO) signaling or an emergency signaling.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the type of access includes an application that triggers the request to access the cell.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the type of access includes at least one of a type of service or a type of call for the request to access the cell.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the type of service is at least one of a voice service, a video service, or a short message service (SMS).

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the type of call is at least one of an emergency call or a high priority call.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the type of access includes a configuration of the UE.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the configuration of the UE relates to a priority level of the UE.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the type of access includes a signaling procedure related to at least one of a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE or an RRC layer of the UE.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping table is pre-configured by the UE.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, the mapping table.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the establishment cause is provided from a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE to an RRC layer of the UE.

15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, barring information that includes at least one of a barring factor, a barring time, or a bitmap.

16. A base station (BS) configured to perform wireless communication, the BS comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

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

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a message requesting establishment of a radio resource control (RRC) connection, the message including an establishment cause mapped from an access category,

wherein a type of access is determined based on a request to access a cell of the BS,

wherein the access category for the request is determined based on the type of access,

wherein the access category is mapped to the establishment cause based on a mapping table configured for the UE, and

wherein, based on access to the cell not being barred for the request, the message including the establishment cause mapped from the access category is received from the UE,

wherein the access category is provided from a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE to an RRC layer of the UE.

17. An apparatus configured to control a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions,

wherein based on the at least one processor executing the instructions, the at least one processor controls the UE to:

determine a type of access based on a request to access a cell;

determine an access category for the request based on the type of access;

perform an access barring check for the cell;

map the access category to an establishment cause based on a mapping table configured for the UE; and

based on access to the cell not being barred for the request, transmit, to a base station (BS) 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 provided from a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the UE to an RRC layer of the UE.
