Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for combining, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system, and to a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to an intelligent service (e.g., a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related service, etc.), based on a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. A method for making a report, including beam measurement information, at the time of measurement reporting of a user equipment, and a device therefor; a method for performing measurement reporting by way of layer 1/layer 2 signaling, and a device therefor; and a method for changing between RRC modes including an RRC inactive mode, and a device therefor.

Claims (46)

1 . A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving system information including a threshold value, wherein the threshold value is used to identify a data transmission in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive mode;

receiving an RRC message including information on bearers used for the data transmission in the RRC inactive mode;

transmitting a random access preamble;

receiving a random access response in response to the random access preamble;

identifying, in the RRC inactive mode, an amount of data to be transmitted based on the threshold value; and

transmitting, in the RRC inactive mode, the data with an RRC resume request message based on the identification and the information on the bearers,

wherein the RRC resume request message includes a resume identity of the terminal and a short message authentication code-integrity (MAC-I).

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the random access preamble is included in a set of random access preambles for the data transmission.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a radio link control (RLC) entity and a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity for the bearers used for transmitting data in the RRC inactive mode are re-established.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the bearers used for the data transmission in the RRC inactive mode are activated.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an RRC release message after completion of the data transmission.

6 . A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a random access preamble;

transmitting a random access response in response to the random access preamble; and

receiving data with a radio resource control (RRC) resume request message from a terminal in an RRC inactive mode, the RRC resume request message including a resume identity of the terminal and a short message authentication code-integrity (MAC-I),

wherein information on bearers used for a data transmission in the RRC inactive mode is configured via an RRC message to the terminal,

wherein an amount of the data to be transmitted is based on a threshold value which is transmitted to the terminal via system information.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the random access preamble is included in a set of random access preambles for the data transmission.

8 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

transmitting an RRC release message after completion of the data transmission.

9 . A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive system information including a threshold value, wherein the threshold value is used to identify a data transmission in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive mode,

receive an RRC message including information on bearers used for the data transmission in the RRC inactive mode,

transmit a random access preamble,

receive a random access response in response to the random access preamble,

identify, in the RRC inactive mode, an amount of data to be transmitted based on the threshold value, and

transmit, in the RRC inactive mode, the data with an RRC resume request message based on the identification and the information on the bearers,

wherein the RRC resume request message includes a resume identity of the terminal and a short message authentication code-integrity (MAC-I).

10 . The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the random access preamble is included in a set of random access preambles for the data transmission.

11 . The terminal of claim 9 , wherein a radio link control (RLC) entity and a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity for the bearers used for transmitting data in the RRC inactive mode are re-established.

12 . The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the bearers used for the data transmission in the RRC inactive mode are activated.

13 . The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive an RRC release message after completion of the data transmission.

14 . A base station in a communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive a random access preamble,

transmit a random access response in response to the random access preamble, and

receive data with a radio resource control (RRC) resume request message from a terminal in an RRC inactive mode, the RRC resume request message including a resume identity of the terminal and a short message authentication code-integrity (MAC-I),

wherein information on bearers used for a data transmission in the RRC inactive mode is configured via an RRC message to the terminal,

wherein an amount of the data to be transmitted is based on a threshold value which is transmitted to the terminal via system information.

15 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the random access preamble is included in a set of random access preambles for the data transmission.

16 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit an RRC release message after completion of the data transmission.
