Abstract

A method for reporting mobility information by a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises: determining whether or not mobility information is reported, wherein the mobility information indicates a mobility state of the terminal; and reporting the mobility information to a network if it is determined that the mobility information is reported.

Claims (41)

1. A reporting method for mobility information performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

reporting, to a network, first mobility information;

determining whether a mobility state type of second mobility information is the same as a mobility state type of the first mobility information,

wherein the second mobility information is updated mobility information by the UE,

wherein the mobility state type of the first mobility state information or the mobility state type of the second mobility state information is one of a mobility group state or a speed of the UE, and

wherein the mobility group state includes at least one of a high mobility state, a middle mobility state or a normal mobility state, and each of the high mobility state, the middle mobility state and the normal mobility state is determined by a number of cell reselections by the UE; and

reporting, to the network, the second mobility information based on the determination,

wherein if the mobility state type of the second mobility information is different from the mobility state type of the first mobility information, the second mobility information is reported by the UE, and

wherein if the mobility state type of the second mobility information is the same as the mobility state type of the first mobility information, the second mobility information is not reported by the UE.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

transmitting a mobility information available indication when the UE reports the second mobility information,

wherein the mobility information available indication indicates that the second mobility information is available.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

receiving, from the network, a mobility information reporting request as a response to the mobility information available indication,

wherein the reporting of the second mobility information includes reporting the second mobility information as a response to the mobility information reporting request.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the mobility information reporting request is transmitted by being included in a radio resource control (RRC) message requesting to report the UE information.

5. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the mobility information available indication is transmitted by being included in a radio resource control (RRC) message when the UE requests a RRC connection.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving, from the network, mobility information report control information,

wherein the mobility information report control information indicates whether the report of the second mobility information is permitted.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the reporting of the second mobility information includes reporting the second mobility information as a response to the mobility information report control information.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the mobility information report control information further indicates a type of the mobility information in which the report is permitted.

9. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the second mobility information is transmitted by being included in a radio resource control (RRC) message transmitted to report the UE information.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the UE camps on a small cell, the second mobility information is information related to a macro cell having the same frequency as the small cell.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein if a plurality of macro cells having the same frequency as the small cell are present, the second mobility information is information related to a macro cell having the best quality among the plurality of the macro cells.

12. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the mobility state type of the first mobility state information is the mobility group state, and the mobility state type of the second mobility information is the speed of the UE.

13. A user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit that transmits and receives a radio signal; and

a processor, operatively connected to the RF unit, that:

reports, to a network via the RF unit, first mobility information,

determines whether a mobility state type of second mobility information is the same as a mobility state type of the first mobility information,

wherein the second mobility information is updated mobility information by the UE,

wherein the mobility state type of the first mobility state information or the mobility state type of the second mobility state information is one of a mobility group state or a speed of the UE, and

wherein the mobility group state includes at least one of a high mobility state, a middle mobility state or a normal mobility state, and each of the high mobility state, the middle mobility state and the normal mobility state is determined by a number of cell reselections by the UE, and

reports, to the network via the RF unit, the second mobility information based on the determination,

wherein if the mobility state type of the second mobility information is different from the mobility state type of the first mobility information, the second mobility information is reported by the UE, and

wherein if the mobility state type of the second mobility information is the same as the mobility state type of the first mobility information, the second mobility information is not reported by the UE.
