Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present disclosure provides a random access method, a network node and a user equipment. With the solution of the above embodiment of the present disclosure, the performance of the UE randomly accessing the target cell can be improved.

Claims (38)

1. A method by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

measuring a signal of a target cell;

transmitting, to a network node, a measurement report on the signal of the target cell;

receiving, from the network node, a handover command including resource configuration information comprising dedicated random access resource configuration information associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB); and

performing a random access to the target cell based on the resource configuration information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dedicated random access resource configuration information includes a threshold for selecting the SSB.

3. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the random access resource configuration information includes dedicated random access resource configuration information associated with channel status information reference signals (CSI-RSs), and

wherein the dedicated random access resource configuration information includes a threshold for selecting a CSI-RS.

4. A method by a network node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a measurement report on a signal of a target cell; and

transmitting, to the UE, a handover command including resource configuration information comprising dedicated random access resource configuration information associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB) based on the measurement report.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the dedicated random access resource configuration information includes a threshold for selecting the SSB.

6. The method according to claim 4 ,

wherein the random access resource configuration information includes dedicated random access resource configuration information associated with channel status information reference signals (CSI-RSs), and

wherein the dedicated random access resource configuration information includes a threshold for selecting a CSI-RS.

7. A user equipment, comprising:

a communication interface configured to communicate;

a processor; and

a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the following operations:

measuring a signal of a target cell;

transmitting, to a network node, a measurement report on the signal of the target cell;

receiving, from the network node, a handover command including resource configuration information comprising dedicated random access resource configuration information associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB); and

performing a random access to the target cell based on the resource configuration information.

8. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the dedicated random access resource configuration information includes a threshold for selecting the SSB.

9. The user equipment according to claim 7 ,

wherein the random access resource configuration information includes dedicated random access resource configuration information associated with channel status information reference signals (CSI-RSs), and

wherein the dedicated random access resource configuration information includes a threshold for selecting a CSI-RS.

10. A network node, comprising:

a communication interface configured to communicate;

a processor; and

a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the following operations:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a measurement report on a signal of a target cell; and

transmitting, to the UE, a handover command including resource configuration information comprising dedicated random access resource configuration information associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB) based on the measurement report.

11. The network node according to claim 10 , wherein the dedicated random access resource configuration information includes a threshold for selecting the SSB.

12. The user equipment according to claim 10 ,

wherein the random access resource configuration information includes dedicated random access resource configuration information associated with channel status information reference signals (CSI-RSs), and

wherein the dedicated random access resource configuration information includes a threshold for selecting a CSI-RS.
