Abstract

A method and apparatus for accessing a NR cell in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for accessing a NR cell includes receiving, by a terminal from a base station, a System Information Block1, determining, by the terminal, a preamble format and a subframe and a starting symbol based on the prach-ConfigurationIndex included in the first RACH-ConfigCommon if the second RACH-ConfigCommon is not included in the ServingCellConfigCommon and the prach-ConfigurationIndex included in the second RACH-ConfigCommon if the second RACH-ConfigCommon is included in the ServingCellConfigCommon and transmitting, by the terminal, the preamble based at least in part on the preamble format and the subframe and the starting symbol.

Claims (14)

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

receiving, by a terminal from a base station, a System Information Block1 (SIB1), the SIB1 comprises a ServingCellConfigCommon, the ServingCellConfigCommon comprises a first RACH-ConfigCommon or the first RACH-ConfigCommon and a second RACH-ConfigCommon, the first RACH-ConfigCommon comprises a first prach-ConfigurationIndex and the second RACH-ConfigCommon comprises a second prach-ConfigurationIndex;

determining, by the terminal, a preamble format and a subframe and a starting symbol based on the first prach-ConfigurationIndex if the second RACH-ConfigCommon is not included in the ServingCellConfigCommon and based on the second prach-ConfigurationIndex if the second RACH-ConfigCommon is included in the ServingCellConfigCommon; and

transmitting, by the terminal, the preamble based at least in part on the preamble format and the subframe and the starting symbol.

2. 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 a terminal from a base station, a System Information Block1 (SIB1), the SIB1 comprises a ServingCellConfigCommon, the ServingCellConfigCommon comprises a first RACH-ConfigCommon or the first RACH-ConfigCommon and a second RACH-ConfigCommon, the first RACH-ConfigCommon comprises a first prach-ConfigurationIndex and the second RACH-ConfigCommon comprise a second prach-ConfigurationIndex;

determine, by the terminal, a preamble format and a subframe and a starting symbol based on the first prach-ConfigurationIndex if the second RACH-ConfigCommon is not included in the ServingCellConfigCommon and based on the second prach-ConfigurationIndex included in the second RACH-ConfigCommon if the second RACH-ConfigCommon is included in the ServingCellConfigCommon; and

transmit, by the terminal, the preamble based at least in part on the preamble format and the subframe and the starting symbol.

3. A method by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting in a first cell, by the base station, a System Information Block1 (SIB1), the SIB1 comprises a ServingCellConfigCommon, the ServingCellConfigCommon comprises a first RACH-ConfigCommon or the first RACH-ConfigCommon and a second RACH-ConfigCommon, the first RACH-ConfigCommon comprises a first prach-ConfigurationIndex and the second RACH-ConfigCommon comprises a second prach-ConfigurationIndex;

receiving in the first cell, by the base station from a first type terminal, a preamble based at least in part on the first prach-ConfigurationIndex; and

receiving in the first cell, by the base station from a second type terminal, the preamble based at least in part on the first prach-ConfigurationIndex if the second RACH-ConfigCommon is not included in the ServingCellConfigCommon and based at least in part on the second prach-ConfigurationIndex included in the second RACH-ConfigCommon if the second RACH-ConfigCommon is included in the ServingCellConfigCommon.
