Abstract

The present invention proposes a method of processing a buffer state report when a wireless communication system uses inter-eNB carrier aggregation technology. According to the present invention, a terminal may be provided with a proper amount of uplink resource allocations by notifying base stations of a buffer state.

Claims (46)

1. A method by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting a dual connectivity, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including information on a threshold value, first information on a first logical channel corresponding to the first base station, and second information on a second logical channel corresponding to a second base station;

identifying whether a buffer status report (BSR) is triggered; and

transmitting, in case that the BSR is triggered, the triggered BSR to a base station corresponding to a logical channel group for the triggered BSR, the logical channel group being determined based on the threshold value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting of the triggered BSR further comprising:

transmitting the triggered BSR to the first base station based on the first information, in case that the logical channel group is a first logical channel group mapped to the first logical channel; and

transmitting the triggered BSR to the second base station based on the second information, in case that the logical channel group is a second logical channel group mapped to the second logical channel.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting of the BSR further comprising:

receiving information for allocating resources for uplink transmission; and

transmitting the triggered BSR based on the resources.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the BSR is triggered in case that a periodic BSR timer is expired.

5. A method by a first base station in a wireless communication system supporting a dual connectivity, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message including information on a threshold value, first information on a first logical channel corresponding to the first base station, and second information on a second logical channel corresponding to a second base station; and

receiving, in case that a buffer status report (BSR) is triggered, the triggered BSR based on a logical channel group for the triggered BSR,

wherein the logical channel group is determined based on the threshold value.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the receiving of the triggered BSR further comprising:

receiving the triggered BSR, in case that the determined logical channel group is a first logical channel group mapped to the first logical channel.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the receiving of the BSR further comprising:

transmitting information for allocating resources for uplink transmission; and

receiving the triggered BSR based on the resources.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the BSR is triggered in case that a periodic BSR timer is expired.

9. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting a dual connectivity, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, via the transceiver from a first base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including information on a threshold value, first information on a first logical channel corresponding to the first base station, and second information on a second logical channel corresponding to a second base station,

identify whether a buffer status report (BSR) is triggered, and

transmit, via the transceiver, the triggered BSR to a base station corresponding to a logical channel group for the triggered BSR, the logical channel group being determined based on the threshold value.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver, the triggered BSR to the first base station based on the first information, in case that the logical channel group is a first logical channel group mapped to the first logical channel, and

transmit, via the transceiver, the triggered BSR to the second base station based on the second information, in case that the logical channel group is a second logical channel group mapped to the second logical channel.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive, via the transceiver, information for allocating resources for uplink transmission, and

transmit, via the transceiver, the triggered BSR based on the resources.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the BSR is triggered, in case that a periodic BSR timer is expired.

13. A first base station in a wireless communication system supporting a dual connectivity, the first base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message including information on a threshold value, first information on a first logical channel corresponding to the first base station, and second information on a second logical channel corresponding to a second base station, and

receive, via the transceiver, in case that a buffer status report (BSR) is triggered, the triggered BSR based on a logical channel group for the triggered BSR,

wherein the logical channel group is determined based on the threshold value.

14. The first base station of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive, via the transceiver, the triggered BSR, in case that the determined logical channel group is a first logical channel group mapped to the first logical channel.

15. The first base station of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver, information for allocating resources for uplink transmission, and

transmit, via the transceiver, the triggered BSR based on the resources.

16. The first base station of claim 13 , wherein the BSR is triggered in case that a periodic BSR timer is expired.
