Method and apparatus for measuring frequency in wireless communication system
A frequency measurement method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The frequency measurement method includes: receiving a radio resource control (RRC) release message or system information including first frequency measurement configuration information for frequency measurement in an RRC inactive mode; performing frequency measurement in the RRC inactive mode based on the first frequency measurement configuration information; receiving first RRC resume message including an indicator requesting a measurement report in the RRC inactive mode; and transmitting an RRC resume complete message including the measurement report based on the indicator.
1. A method for reporting frequency measurement by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS), a radio resource control (RRC) setup message in response to a RRC resume request message; and
identifying whether system information includes at least one indicator indicating frequency measurement in a RRC idle mode or a RRC inactive mode;
identifying whether the UE has a result of the frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode; and
in case that the system information includes the at least one indicator indicating the frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode and the UE has the result of the frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode, transmitting, to the BS, a RRC setup complete message including an indicator indicating that reporting of the result of the frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode is available.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC resume request message is transmitted to the BS for a RAN notification area (RNA) update in the RRC inactive mode.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprises, in response to receiving the RRC setup message in response to the RRC resume request message:
stopping a timer for the frequency measurement; and
releasing a frequency measurement configuration.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying whether the system information includes at least one indicator comprises:
identifying whether the system information includes an indicator indicating for UE to perform a new radio (NR) frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying whether the system information includes at least one indicator comprises:
identifying whether the system information includes an indicator indicating for UE to perform an evolved universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS) terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode.
6. A user equipment (UE) for reporting frequency measurement in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller connected to the transceiver, the controller configured to:
receive, from a base station (BS), a radio resource control (RRC) setup message in response to a RRC resume request message,
identify whether system information includes at least one indicator indicating frequency measurement in a RRC idle mode or a RRC inactive mode,
identify whether the UE has a result of the frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode, and
in case that the system information includes the at least one indicator indicating the frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode and the UE has the result of the frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode, transmit, to the BS, a RRC setup complete message including an indicator indicating that reporting of the result of the frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode is available.
7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the RRC resume request message is transmitted to the BS for a RAN notification area (RNA) update in the RRC inactive mode.
8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to, in response to receiving the RRC setup message in response to the RRC resume request message:
stop a timer for the frequency measurement; and
release a frequency measurement configuration.
9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to:
identify whether the system information includes an indicator indicating for UE to perform a new radio (NR) frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode.
10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to:
identify whether the system information includes an indicator indicating for UE to perform an evolved universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS) terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) frequency measurement in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode.
