Abstract

The present 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 present 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. The method for transmitting system information by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising identifying whether an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) of a user equipment (UE) is configured with common search space, and transmitting, to the UE, an updated system information in a dedicated signaling when the active DL BWP of the UE is not configured with the common search space.

Claims (37)

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

communicating, with a terminal, on a serving cell;

identifying whether an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) of the serving cell is configured with a common search space (CSS) for monitoring system information for the serving cell, the active DL BWP being a subset of a total bandwidth of the serving cell;

transmitting, to the terminal, a radio resource control (RRC) message including the system information for the serving cell, in case that the active DL BWP is not configured with the CSS; and

transmitting, in a paging occasion to the terminal, system information change indication associated with the system information for the serving cell, in case that the active DL BWP is configured with the CSS.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the terminal, information on at least one of an earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) notification or a commercial mobile alert system (CMAS) notification in the paging occasion, in case that the active DL BWP is configured with the CSS.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein, the system information includes at least one of a system information block 1 (SIB1), an SIB associated with an ETWS notification, or an SIB associated with a CMAS notification.

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

communicating, with a base station, on a serving cell;

identifying whether an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) of the serving cell is configured with a common search space (CSS) for monitoring system information for the serving cell, the active DL BWP being a subset of a total bandwidth of the serving cell;

receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including the system information for the serving cell, in case that the active DL BWP is not configured with the CSS; and

receiving, in a paging occasion from the base station, system information change indication associated with the system information for the serving cell by monitoring the paging occasion, in case that the active DL BWP is configured with the CSS to monitor paging.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, information on at least one of an earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) notification or a commercial mobile alert system (CMAS) notification in the paging occasion by monitoring the paging occasion, in case that the active DL BWP is configured with the CSS.

6. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein, the system information includes at least one of a system information block 1 (SIB1), an SIB associated with an ETWS notification, or an SIB associated with a CMAS notification.

7. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

communicate, with a terminal, on a serving cell,

identify whether an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) of the serving cell is configured with a common search space (CSS) for monitoring system information for the serving cell, the active DL BWP being a subset of a total bandwidth of the serving cell,

transmit, to the terminal, a radio resource control (RRC) message including the system information for the serving cell, in case that the active DL BWP is not configured with the CSS, and

transmit, in a paging occasion to the terminal, system information change indication associated with the system information for the serving cell, in case that the active DL BWP is configured with the CSS.

8. The base station of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit, to the terminal, information on an earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) notification or a commercial mobile alert system (CMAS) notification in the paging occasion, in case that the active DL BWP is configured with the CSS.

9. The base station of claim 7 , wherein, the system information includes at least one of a system information block 1 (SIB1), an SIB associated with an ETWS notification, or an SIB associated with a CMAS notification.

10. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

communicate, with a base station, on a serving cell,

identify whether an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) of the serving cell is configured with a common search space (CSS) for monitoring system information for the serving cell, the active DL BWP being a subset of a total bandwidth of the serving cell,

receive, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including the system information for the serving cell, in case that the active DL BWP is not configured with the CSS, and

receive, in a paging occasion from the base station, system information change indication associated with the system information for the serving cell by monitoring the paging occasion, in case that the active DL BWP is configured with the CSS to monitor paging.

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

receive, from the base station, information on at least one of an earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) notification and a commercial mobile alert system (CMAS) notification in the paging occasion by monitoring the paging occasion, in case that the active DL BWP is configured with the CSS.

12. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein, the system information includes at least one of a system information block 1 (SIB1), an SIB associated with an ETWS notification, or an SIB associated with a CMAS notification.
