Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method is provided for a terminal to transmit uplink data without a transmission resource previously allocated by a base station in a next generation mobile communication system. A method by a terminal includes while the terminal is in an inactive mode, receiving a paging message from a base station, identifying a paging identifier included in the paging message, if the paging identifier corresponds to a core network (CN) paging identifier, transmitting a first radio resource control (RRC) message, and if the paging identifier corresponds to a radio access network (RAN) paging identifier, transmitting a second RRC message.

Claims (73)

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

receiving a first radio resource control (RRC) connection release message including a resume identity and paging area information;

in case that an update of a paging area corresponding to the paging area information is required:

transmitting a first RRC connection resume request message including resume cause for paging area update;

receiving a second RRC connection release message including new paging area information;

configuring the new paging area information;

in case that a paging message including a paging identifier is received;

in case that the paging identifier corresponds to a core network (CN) paging identifier, transmitting an RRC connection request message; and

in case that the paging identifier corresponds to a radio access network (RAN) paging identifier, transmitting a second RRC connection resume request message.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, in case that the paging identifier corresponds to the CN paging identifier, the CN paging identifier includes a system architecture evolution (SAE)—temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI) or an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), and

wherein, in case that the paging identifier corresponds to the RAN paging identifier, the RAN paging identifier includes the resume identity.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, in case that the paging area information includes a cell identity, a paging area for an inactive mode is a cell corresponding to the cell identity, and

wherein, in case that the paging area information includes a RAN area identity, a paging area for the inactive mode is a RAN area corresponding to the RAN area identity.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the CN paging identifier is included in the paging message, in case that the base station does not store a context for the terminal, and

wherein, in case that the RAN paging identifier is included in the paging message and in case that the terminal stores a context, the first RRC connection resume request message is transmitted.

5. A terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

receive a first radio resource control (RRC) connection release message including a resume identity and paging area information,

in case that an update of a paging area corresponding to the paging area information is required:

transmit a first RRC connection resume request message including resume cause for paging area update,

receive a second RRC connection release message including new paging area information,

configure the new paging area information,

in case that a paging message including a paging identifier is received;

in case that the paging identifier corresponds to a core network (CN) paging identifier, transmit an RRC connection request message, and

in case that the paging identifier corresponds to a radio access network (RAN) paging identifier, transmitting a second RRC connection resume request message.

6. The terminal of claim 5 ,

wherein, in case that the paging identifier corresponds to the CN paging identifier, the CN paging identifier includes a system architecture evolution (SAE)—temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI) or an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), and

wherein, in case that the paging identifier corresponds to the RAN paging identifier, the RAN paging identifier includes the resume identity.

7. The terminal of claim 5 ,

wherein, in case that the paging area information includes a cell identity, a paging area for an inactive mode is a cell corresponding to the cell identity, and

wherein, in case that the paging area information includes a RAN area identity, a paging area for the inactive mode is a RAN area corresponding to the RAN area identity.

8. The terminal of claim 5 ,

wherein the CN paging identifier is included in the paging message, in case that the base station does not store a context for the terminal, and

wherein, in case that the RAN paging identifier is included in the paging message and in case that the terminal stores a context, the first RRC connection resume request message is transmitted.

9. A method by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a first radio resource control (RRC) connection release message including a resume identity and paging area information;

in case that an update of a paging area corresponding to the paging area information is required:

receiving a first RRC connection resume request message including resume cause for paging area update;

transmitting a second RRC connection release message including new paging area information for configuring the new paging area information;

in case that a paging message including a paging identifier is transmitted to a terminal that is in an inactive mode:

in case that the paging identifier corresponds to a core network (CN) paging identifier, receiving an RRC connection request message from the terminal; and

in case that the paging identifier corresponds to a radio access network (RAN) paging identifier, receive a second RRC connection resume request message from the terminal.

10. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein, in case that the paging message is initiated from a core network (CN) node, the paging message includes a system architecture evolution (SAE)—temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI) or an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), and wherein, in case that the paging message is initiated from the base station, the paging message includes the resume identity.

11. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein, in case that the paging area information includes a cell identity, a paging area for an inactive mode is a cell corresponding to the cell identity, and

wherein, in case that the paging area information includes a RAN area identity, a paging area for the inactive mode is a RAN area corresponding to the RAN area identity.

12. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the CN paging identifier is included in the paging message, in case that the base station does not store a context for the terminal, and

wherein, in case that the RAN paging identifier is included in the paging message and in case that the terminal stores a context, the second RRC connection resume request message is transmitted.

13. A base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

transmit a first radio resource control (RRC) connection release message including a resume identity and paging area information,

in case that an update of a paging area corresponding to the paging area information is required:

receive a first RRC connection resume request message including resume cause for paging area update,

transmit a second RRC connection release message including new paging area information for configuring the new paging area information,

in case that a paging message including a paging identifier is transmitted to a terminal that is in an inactive mode,

in case that the paging identifier corresponds to a core network (CN) paging identifier, receive an RRC connection request message from the terminal, and

in case that the paging identifier corresponds to a radio access network (RAN) paging identifier, receive a second RRC connection resume request message from the terminal.
