Method and apparatus for controlling plurality of timers and plurality of bearers for RRC connection resumption and data transfer in mobile wireless communication system
A method and apparatus for data transfer in RRC_INACTIVE state is provided. Method for data transfer in RRC_INACTIVE state includes receiving configuration information for second resume procedure, initiating second resume procedure and transmitting a uplink RRC message together with data in a MAC PDU. During the procedure, a timer starts and stops at specific time points for supervising the procedure
1. A method performed by a terminal, the method comprising:
receiving by the terminal from a base station a RRCRelease message, wherein the RRCRelease message includes a first information for a second resume procedure, and the first information for a second resume procedure includes a Signaling Radio Bearer2 (SRB2) indicator and a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) list;
determining by the terminal, based on the first information for a second resume procedure, a first radio bearer group;
receiving by the terminal from the base station a system information, wherein the system information includes a first timer value, a second timer value, a first threshold, and a second threshold, and wherein the first threshold is related to a reference signal received power and the second threshold is related to a data volume;
initiating by the terminal a resume procedure;
starting by the terminal a timer after applying a Medium Access control (MAC) cell group configuration and before resuming SRB1 of which configuration is restored from UE Inactive Access Stratum (AS) context; and
stopping by the terminal the timer in case that a RRCResume is received,
wherein MAC reset and cell selection procedure are performed when the timer expires,
wherein the first timer value is used if all conditions of a first condition group are fulfilled, and
wherein the first condition group includes the reference signal received power being greater than the first threshold and the data volume being smaller than the second threshold and a second resume procedure related information being included in the system information.
2. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the terminal configures the timer with the second timer value if data of the first radio bearer group exist and at least one condition of the first condition group is not fulfilled.
3. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the second resume procedure related information includes the first threshold and the second threshold.
4. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the SRB2 is part of the first radio bearer group if the SRB2 indicator is included in the first information for second resume procedure and the SRB2 indicator is set to a specific value.
5. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein a DRB is part of the first radio bearer group if identifier of the DRB is included in the DRB list.
6. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and
a controller configured to control the transceiver to:
receive by the terminal from a base station a RRCRelease, wherein the RRCRelease includes a first information for a second resume procedure, and the first information for a second resume procedure includes a Signaling Radio Bearer2 (SRB2) indicator and a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) list,
determine by the terminal, based on the first information fora second resume procedure, a first radio bearer group,
receive by the terminal from the base station a system information, wherein the system information includes a first timer value, a second timer value, a first threshold, and a second threshold, and wherein the first threshold is related to a reference signal received power and the second threshold is related to a data volume,
initiate by the terminal a second resume procedure,
start by the terminal a timer after applying a Medium Access control (MAC) group configuration and before resuming SRB1 of which configuration is restored from UE Inactive Access Stratum (AS) context, and
stop by the terminal the timer when RRCResume is received,
wherein MAC reset and cell selection procedure are performed when the timer expires,
wherein the first timer value is used if all conditions of a first condition group are fulfilled, and
wherein the first condition group includes the reference signal received power being greater than the first threshold and the data volume being smaller than the second threshold and a second resume procedure related information being included in the system information.
