Abstract

A method and apparatus for selecting a NR cell in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for selecting a NR cell includes selecting, by a terminal, a first cell, performing, by the terminal a first operation group if the terminal fails to acquire MIB in the first cell and performing, by the terminal a second operation group if the terminal succeeds to acquire MIB and SIB1 in the first cell and the MIB includes cellBarred set to barred and the SIB1 includes a intraFreqReselection set to NotAllowed.

Claims (16)

1. A method by a terminal, the method comprising:

selecting, by a terminal, a first cell,

performing, by the terminal a first operation group if the terminal fails to acquire Master Information Block (MIB) in the first cell, the first operation group comprises excluding the first cell as a candidate for cell selection/reselection for a specific time and reselecting another cell on the same frequency as the first cell if a selection criteria are fulfilled;

performing, by the terminal a second operation group if the terminal succeeds to acquire MIB and System Information Block1 (SIB1) in the first cell and the MIB includes cellBarred set to barred and the SIB1 includes a intraFreqReselection set to NotAllowed, the second operation group comprises excluding the first cell as a candidate for cell selection/reselection for a specific time and excluding another cell on the same frequency as the first cell for a specific time, and

performing, by the terminal a third operation group, if the terminal succeeds to acquire MIB and SIB1 in the first cell and the MIB includes cellBarred set to Notbarred and the SIB1 includes an intraFreqReselection, the third operation group comprises applying the configuration included in the ServingCellConfigCommon and applying a specified PCCH configuration,

wherein the SIB1 comprises a ServingCellConfigCommon, the ServingCellConfigCommon comprises a first RACH-ConfigCommon and a second RACH-ConfigCommon and a first pucch-ConfigCommon and a second pucch-ConfigCommon.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the third operation group further comprises determining a preamble format based on the second RACH-ConfigCommon.

3. 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:

select a first cell;

perform a first operation group if the terminal fails to acquire Master Information Block (MIB) in the first cell, the first operation group comprises excluding the first cell as a candidate for cell selection/reselection for a specific time and reselecting another cell on the same frequency as the first cell if the selection criteria are fulfilled;

perform a second operation group if the terminal succeeds to acquire MIB and System Information Block1 (SIB1) in the first cell and the MIB includes cellBarred set to barred and the SIB1 includes an intraFreqReselection set to NotAllowed, the second operation group comprises excluding the first cell as a candidate for cell selection/reselection for a specific time and excluding another cell on the same frequency of the first cell for a specific time; and

perform a third operation group, if the terminal succeeds to acquire MIB and SIB1 in the first cell and the MIB includes cellBarred set to Notbarred and the SIB1 includes a intraFreqReselection, the third operation group comprises applying the configuration included in the ServingCellConfigCommon and applying a specified PCCH configuration,

wherein the SIB1 comprises a ServingCellConfigCommon, the ServingCellConfigCommon comprises a first RACH-ConfigCommon and a second RACH-ConfigCommon and a first pucch-ConfigCommon and a second pucch-ConfigCommon.
