Abstract

Disclosed are a control method for supporting multiple connections in a mobile communication system and an apparatus for supporting multiple connections. In the method for supporting the multiple connections to be performed in first and second base stations, a first base station receives the measured results for multiple connections from a terminal, determines whether the plurality of connections are set on the basis of the measured results, transmits the information for setting the multiple connections to the second base station when setting the multiple results, and the second base station generates the control information for setting the multiple connections of the terminal on the basis of the information for setting the multiple connections received from the first base station. Thus, the multiple connections can be easily supported and the performance of the mobile communication system can be improved therethrough.

Claims (14)

1. A method for processing a radio link failure (RLF) in a terminal supporting a multiple connectivity using two or more base station, the method comprising:

processing computer executable program code embodied in non-transitory computer readable storage media by a processor, the computer executable program code comprising:

program code that detects a RLF between the terminal and a second base station;

program code that stops transmission to the second base station; and

program code that reports the RLF to a first base station,

wherein, when the second base station serves the terminal through a plurality of cells including a primary cell and at least one secondary cell, the RLF is a RLF occurred in the primary, and

wherein the RLF is reported to the first base station via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the primary cell is a cell whose physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources are configured.

3. A method for processing a radio link failure (RLF) in a terminal supporting a multiple connectivity using two or more base station, the method comprising:

processing computer executable program code embodied in non-transitory computer readable storage media by a processor, the computer executable program code comprising: program code that detects a RLF between the terminal and a second base station;

program code that stops transmission to the second base station; and

program code that reports the RLF to a first base station,

wherein the RLF includes at least one of a physical layer error between the terminal and the second base station, and a failure of a random access procedure performed between the terminal and the second base station, and

wherein the RLF is reported to the first base station via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.
