Abstract

Disclosed are method and device for selecting a cell in a wireless communication system. In particular, a method for selecting a cell by a terminal in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: transmitting a random access preamble in a cell, which is selected by a terminal, to a base station; receiving a random access response from the base station; and, as a response to the random access response, transmitting an uplink message to the base station through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein the uplink message can comprises a radio resource management (RRM) measurement value which has been measured on the basis of a reference signal.

Claims (33)

1. A method for performing a random access procedure by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), system information including Radio resource management-Reference signal (RRM-RS) configuration information of a neighbor cell and a serving cell, wherein the RRM configuration information includes a Physical Cell Identity (PCI) of each cell;

performing a Radio resource management (RRM) measurement based on the RRM-RS configuration information;

transmitting, to the BS, a random access preamble, wherein the BS is on a cell selected by the UE based on the RRM measurement;

receiving, from the BS, a random access response; and

in response to the random access response, transmitting, to the BS, a reporting message on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH),

wherein the reporting message includes a Radio resource management (RRM) measurement value, which is measured based on a reference signal (RS) and a preconfigured threshold value,

wherein the RRM measurement value is reported with a PCI of the cell, and

wherein the RRM measurement value includes a Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS)-based RRM measurement value and/or a RRM-RS-based RRM measurement value configured for the RRM measurement.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRM-RS configuration information includes one or more of RRM-RS antenna port number information, RRM-RS antenna port mapping information, RRM-RS transmission period and offset information, or RRM-RS transmission frequency/time resource information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRM-RS configuration information is corresponding to a PCI of each cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell is selected, by the UE, based on the CRS-based RRM measurement value and/or the RRM-RS-based RRM measurement value for each cell.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein a cell that transmits a RRM-RS of which RRM-RS-based RRM measurement value is a greatest is selected.

6. The method of claim 5 , when a CRS-based RRM measurement value for a cell that transmits a RRM-RS of which RRM-RS-based RRM measurement value is a greatest is smaller than a CRS-based RRM measurement value or other cell by more than a preconfigured threshold value, wherein a cell that transmits a RRM-RS of which RRM-RS-based RRM measurement value is a greatest is not selected.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein a cell of which a weighted average value between the RRM-RS-based RRM measurement value and the CRS-based RRM measurement value is a greatest is selected.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein a cell is selected based on the RRM-RS-based RRM measurement value among cells of which difference between a best CRS-based RRM measurement value and a CRS-based RRM measurement value for a measurement target cell is a preconfigured threshold value or less.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein a cell is selected based on difference between a best CRS-based RRM measurement value and a CRS-based RRM measurement value for a measurement target cell, and difference between a best RRM-RS-based RRM measurement value and a RRM-RS-based measurement value for the measurement target cell.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRM includes a Reference signal receive power (RSRP) and/or a Reference signal received quality (RSRQ).

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRM-RS is one of a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), a Discovery Reference Signal (DRS), a precoded reference signal or a reference signal transmitted in an amorphous cell including a number of different cells or transmission points.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising

receiving, from the BS, the preconfigured threshold value with the random access response.

13. A user equipment (UE) for performing a random access procedure selecting a cell in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal; and

a processor for controlling the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to perform:

receiving system information including Radio resource management-Reference signal (RRM-RS) configuration information of a neighbor cell and a serving cell, wherein the RRM configuration information includes a Physical Cell Identity(PCI) of each cell;

performing a Radio resource management(RRM) measurement based on the RRM-RS configuration information;

transmitting a random access preamble to a base station (BS) on a cell selected by the UE based on the RRM measurement;

receiving a random access response from the BS; and

in response to the random access response, transmitting a reporting message on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) to the BS,

wherein the reporting message includes a Radio resource management (RRM) measurement value, which is measured based on a reference signal (RS) and a preconfigured threshold value,

wherein the RRM measurement value is reported with a PCI of the cell, and

wherein the RRM measurement value includes a Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS)-based RRM measurement value and/or a RRM-RS-based RRM measurement value configured for the RRM measurement.
