Abstract

A network node of the present invention transmits downlink data for user equipment using a paging message. The user equipment can transmit to the network node a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message including acknowledgement information that indicates acknowledgement of the downlink data if the paging message contains the downlink data for the user equipment. The network node can transmit to the user equipment an RRC connection refusal message including information that indicates confirmation with respect to the acknowledgement information if the paging message contains the downlink data for the user equipment and the RRC connection request message contains the acknowledgement information.

Claims (50)

1. A method of receiving data by a user equipment from a network in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a paging message including a non-access stratum (NAS) message;

based on the NAS message including a data packet of a terminating call for the user equipment, transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message including acknowledgement information informing an acknowledgement of the data packet;

receiving an RRC connection reject message including information informing that the acknowledgement information is confirmed by the network; and

based on receiving the RRC connection reject message, terminating an RRC connection establishment procedure started by the transmission of the RRC connection request message,

wherein the NAS message further comprises information informing whether the user equipment needs to transmit the acknowledgement or not.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

delivering, at an RRC layer of the user equipment to a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the user equipment, paging information in the paging message and the data packet.

3. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the data packet is received through the paging message in a state in which the user equipment is in a discontinuous reception mode or a power saving mode.

4. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the acknowledgment information is included in the RRC connection request message in a state in which the NAS message includes information informing that the user equipment needs to transmit the acknowledgment.

5. A user equipment for receiving data in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor that:

receives a paging message including a non-access stratum (NAS) message;

based on the NAS message including a data packet of a terminating call for the user equipment, transmits a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message including acknowledgement information informing an acknowledgement of the data packet;

receives an RRC connection reject message including information informing that the acknowledgement information is confirmed by the network; and

based on reception of the RRC connection reject message, terminates an RRC connection establishment procedure started by the transmission of the RRC connection request message,

wherein the NAS message further comprises information informing whether the user equipment needs to transmit the acknowledgement or not.

6. The user equipment according to claim 5 ,

wherein an RRC layer of the processor delivers paging information in the paging message and the data packet to a non-access stratum (NAS) layer of the processor.

7. The user equipment according to claim 5 ,

wherein the data packet is received through the paging message in a state in which the user equipment is in a discontinuous reception mode or a power saving mode.

8. A method of transmitting data by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a paging message including a non-access stratum (NAS) message for a user equipment;

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message from the user equipment;

based on the NAS message including a data packet of a terminating call for the user equipment and the RRC connection request message including acknowledgement information informing an acknowledgement of the data packet, transmitting an RRC connection reject message including information informing that the acknowledgement information is confirmed to the user equipment; and

based on transmitting the RRC connection reject message to the user equipment, terminating an RRC connection establishment procedure started by the reception of the RRC connection request message,

wherein the NAS message further comprises information informing whether the user equipment needs to transmit the acknowledgement or not.

9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving the paging message and the data packet from a mobility management entity.

10. The method according to claim 8 ,

wherein the paging message further includes information informing that the data packet is included in the NAS message.

11. The method according to claim 8 ,

wherein the data packet is transmitted through the paging message in a state in which the user equipment is in a discontinuous reception mode or a power saving mode.

12. A base station for transmitting data in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor that:

transmits a paging message including a non-access stratum (NAS) message for a user equipment;

receives a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message from the user equipment;

based on the NAS message including a data packet of a terminating call for the user equipment and the RRC connection request message including acknowledgement information informing an acknowledgement of the data packet, transmits an RRC connection reject message including information informing that the acknowledgement information is confirmed to the user equipment; and

based on transmission of the RRC connection reject message to the user equipment, terminates an RRC connection establishment procedure started by the reception of the RRC connection request message,

wherein the NAS message further comprises information informing whether the user equipment needs to transmit the acknowledgement or not.

13. The base station according to claim 12 ,

wherein the processor is configured to control the transceiver to receive the paging message and the data packet from a mobility management entity.

14. The base station according to claim 12 ,

wherein the paging message further includes information informing that the data packet is included in the NAS message.

15. The base station according to claim 12 ,

wherein the data packet is transmitted through the paging message in a state in which the user equipment is in a discontinuous reception mode or a power saving mode.
