Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate compared to a 4G communication system such as an LTE. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: identifying, by a first processor of the terminal, a state of the terminal; transmitting the state of the terminal to a second processor of the terminal; identifying an electric power-related parameter associated with the state of the terminal; and transmitting, to a base station, a terminal message including the electric power-related parameter.

Claims (28)

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

identifying a state of the terminal,

identifying a power-related parameter associated with the state of the terminal, wherein the power-related parameter includes radio access technology (RAT) associated with the state of the terminal; and

transmitting a terminal message including information corresponding to the power-related parameter to a base station; and

receiving a new configured power-related parameter from the base station based on the transmitted terminal message and operating based on the received new configured power-related parameter;

wherein the operating comprises restricting use of a 5 th generation (5G) communication system when the state of the terminal is a power saving mode based on the received new configured power-related parameter.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the new configured power-related parameter comprises receiving a message for reconfiguring the power-related parameter from the base station through radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying a state of the terminal further comprises:

receiving configuration information about at least one power-related parameter from the base station;

estimating power consumption for each of the at least one power-related parameter;

associating each of the at least one power-related parameter with a state of the terminal; and

storing information about an association between each of the at least one power-related parameter and the state of the terminal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying a state of the terminal further comprises detecting an input for the state of the terminal or identifying the state of the terminal according to a predetermined condition.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the state of the terminal is defined based on at least one of data throughput, battery state, or power saving mode.

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

a transceiver;

a processor configured to:

identify a state of the terminal;

identify a power-related parameter associated with the state of the terminal, wherein the power-related parameter includes radio access technology (RAT) associated with the state of the terminal;

transmit a terminal message including information corresponding to the power-related parameter to a base station;

receive a new configured power-related parameter from the base station based on the transmitted terminal message and operate based on the received new configured power-related parameter,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

restrict use of a 5 th generation (5G) communication system based on the received new configured power-related parameter when the state of the terminal is a power saving mode based on the received new configured power-related parameter.

7. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to

receive a message for reconfiguring the power-related parameter from the base station through radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

8. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to receive configuration information about at least one power-related parameter from the base station, estimate power consumption for each of the at least one power-related parameter, associate each of the at least one power-related parameter with a state of the terminal, and store information about an association between each of the at least one power-related parameter and the state of the terminal.

9. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the first processor is configured to detect an input for the state of the terminal or identify the state of the terminal according to a predetermined condition.

10. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the state of the terminal is defined based on at least one of data throughput, battery state, or power saving mode.
