In-device coexistence interference report control method and apparatus of network in mobile communication system
An in-device coexistence interference report control method of a network for terminal to inform the network of interference among heterogeneous radio communication modules coexisting in the terminal is provided. The method includes determining, at a terminal when a terminal capability enquiry message is received from a base station, whether the base station supports an In-Device Coexistence (IDC) interference report, transmitting, when the IDC interference report is supported, a terminal capacity information message to the base station, receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message including information on whether terminal's IDC interference indicator transmission is permitted from the base station; and transmitting an RRC connection reconfiguration complete message to the base station in response to the RRC connection reconfiguration message. The in-device coexistence interference indication control method is advantageous in preventing the UE from transmitting useless in-device coexistence interference indication messages, resulting in reduction of unnecessary signaling.
1. A control message transmission method of a user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a base station, a first message including information indicating whether the UE supports an in device coexistence (IDC) indication, wherein an IDC is an interference between multiple radio transceivers in the UE;
receiving, from the base station, a second message including configuration information corresponding to the IDC indication;
determining whether an IDC problem is experienced in the UE; and
transmitting the IDC indication, if the configuration information is set to setup and an IDC problem is experienced.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a handover command from the base station,
wherein the handover command includes information on whether transmission of the IDC indication for a target network is set to setup or not.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicating whether the UE supports the IDC indication is an inDeviceCoexInd parameter.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving information on a frequency to which an IDC interference indication is applied.
5. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting a control message in a mobile communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver for transmitting and receiving signals; and
a processor configured to:
control to transmit, to a base station, a first message including information indicating whether the UE supports an in device coexistence (IDC) indication, wherein an IDC is an interference between multiple radio transceivers in the UE,
receive, from the base station, a second message including configuration information corresponding to the IDC indication,
determine whether an IDC problem is experienced in the UE, and
transmit the IDC indication, if the configuration information is set to setup and an IDC problem is experienced.
6. The UE of claim 5 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to control to receive a handover command from the base station, and
wherein the handover command includes information on whether transmission of the IDC indication for a target network is set to setup or not.
7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the information indicating whether the UE supports the IDC indication is an inDeviceCoexInd parameter.
8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to control to receive information on a frequency to which an IDC interference indication is applied.
