Abstract

According to an aspect of the disclosure, a method of performing a conditional handover by a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) user equipment (UE) may include: transmitting a cell measurement report to a serving cell; receiving conditional handover configuration information from the serving cell; determining whether to perform a handover, based on the conditional handover configuration information; and when it is determined to perform the handover, performing random access to a target cell.

Claims (70)

1. A method of performing a conditional handover by a user equipment (UE) supporting vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the method comprising:

transmitting a measurement report to a first base station;

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message from the first base station, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message comprises information regarding at least one execution condition for the conditional handover and resource configuration information for V2X ;

identifying a target cell for execution of the conditional handover, based on the information regarding the at least one execution condition for the conditional handover;

performing the V2X communication based on the resource configuration information for V 2 X, for the identified target cell; and

transmitting an RRC reconfiguration complete message to a second base station,

wherein the resource configuration information for V2X comprises resource pool configuration information for long term evolution (LTE) V2X and resource pool configuration information for new radio (NR) V2X, and

wherein the resource pool configuration information for LTE V2X comprises exceptional resource pool configuration information for LTE V2X, and the resource pool configuration information for NR V2X comprises exceptional resource pool configuration information for NR V2X.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the RRC reconfiguration message further comprises information regarding at least one target cell, and

wherein the information regarding the at least one execution condition for the conditional handover comprises at least one of:

a threshold associated with a serving cell; a threshold associated with a target cell; or a time period in which quality of the target cell is required to be higher than the threshold associated with the target cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing synchronization, to the target cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing random access to the target cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the first base station, UE capability information indicating that the UE supports the conditional handover.

6. A method performed by a first base station in a wireless communication system supporting vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the method comprising:

receiving a measurement report from a user equipment (UE);

determining whether to apply a conditional handover for the UE, based on the measurement report;

transmitting a handover request message to at least one second base station;

receiving a handover request acknowledge message from the second base station; and

transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message to the UE,

wherein the RRC reconfiguration message comprises information regarding at least one execution condition for the conditional handover and resource configuration information for V2X,

wherein a target cell for execution of the conditional handover is identified at the UE, based on the information regarding the at least one execution condition for the conditional handover,

wherein, for the identified target cell, the V2X communication is performed at the UE based on the resource configuration information for V2X,

wherein an RRC reconfiguration complete message is transmitted at the UE to the second base station,

wherein the resource configuration information for V2X comprises resource pool configuration information for long term evolution (LTE) V2X and resource pool configuration information for new radio (NR) V2X, and

wherein the resource pool configuration information for LTE V2X comprises exceptional resource pool configuration information for LTE V2X, and the resource pool configuration information for NR V2X comprises exceptional resource pool configuration information for NR V 2 X.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the RRC reconfiguration message further comprises information regarding at least one target cell, and

wherein the information regarding the at least one execution condition for the conditional handover comprises at least one of:

a threshold associated with a serving cell; a threshold associated with a target cell; or a time period in which quality of the target cell is required to be higher than the threshold associated with the target cell.

8. A user equipment (UE) supporting vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication and configured to perform a conditional handover, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

transmit a measurement report to a first base station,

receive a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message from the first base station, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message comprises information regarding at least one execution condition for the conditional handover and resource configuration information for V2X,

identify a target cell for execution of the conditional handover, based on the information regarding the at least one execution condition for the conditional handover,

perform the V2X communication based on the resource configuration information for V2X, for the identified target cell, and

transmit an RRC reconfiguration complete message to a second base station,

wherein the resource configuration information for V2X comprises resource pool configuration information for long term evolution (LTE) V2X and resource pool configuration information for new radio (NR) V2X, and

wherein the resource pool configuration information for LTE V2X comprises exceptional resource pool configuration information for LTE V2X, and the resource pool configuration information for NR V2X comprises exceptional resource pool configuration information for NR V2X.

9. A first base station configured to operate in a wireless communication system supporting vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the first base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive a measurement report from a user equipment (UE),

determine whether to apply a conditional handover for the UE, based on the measurement report,

transmit a handover request message to at least one second base station,

receive a handover request acknowledge message from the second base station, and

transmit a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message to the UE,

wherein a target cell for execution of the conditional handover is identified at the UE, based on the information regarding the at least one execution condition for the conditional handover,

wherein, for the identified target cell, the V2X communication is performed at the UE based on the resource configuration information for V2X,

wherein an RRC reconfiguration complete message is transmitted at the UE to the second base station,

wherein the resource configuration information for V2X comprises resource pool configuration information for long term evolution (LTE) V2X and resource pool configuration information for new radio (NR) V2X, and

wherein the resource pool configuration information for LTE V2X comprises exceptional resource pool configuration information for LTE V2X, and the resource pool configuration information for NR V2X comprises exceptional resource pool configuration information for NR V2X.
