Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for handling of a prohibit timer to transmit a RRC message related to UE capability restriction in wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting a first UE Assistance Information message indicating temporary information related to UE capability, when the UE has overheating problem; starting a timer when the first UE Assistance Information message is transmitted; and transmitting a second UE Assistance Information message if temporary information related to UE capability in the second UE Assistance Information is changed from the temporary information related to UE capability in the first UE Assistance Information message while the timer is running. The UE is capable of communicating with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station, or a network.

Claims (22)

1. A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a first UE Assistance Information message including temporary information related to UE capability, based on the UE having an overheating problem;

starting a prohibit timer based on the first UE Assistance Information message being transmitted; and

transmitting a second UE Assistance Information message based on temporary information related to UE capability in the second UE Assistance Information message being changed from the temporary information related to UE capability in the first UE Assistance Information message, even though the prohibit timer is running,

wherein the temporary information related to UE capability is a number of maximum component carriers that the UE can support.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE does not transmit the second UE Assistance Information message based on the temporary information related to UE capability in the second UE Assistance Information message being same as the temporary information related to UE capability in the first UE Assistance Information message, while the prohibit timer is running.

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

re-starting the prohibit timer based on the second UE Assistance Information message being transmitted.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein based on the temporary information related to UE capability in the second UE Assistance Information message being changed from the temporary information related to UE capability in the first UE Assistance Information message, the temporary information related to UE capability in the second UE Assistance Information message is lower or higher than the temporary information related to UE capability in the first UE Assistance Information message.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the prohibit timer is for prohibiting transmission of a UE Assistance Information message.

6. A User Equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) module; and

a processor operably coupled with the RF module and configured to:

transmit a first UE Assistance Information message including temporary information related to UE capability, based on the UE having an overheating problem,

start a prohibit timer based on the first UE Assistance Information message being transmitted, and

transmit a second UE Assistance Information message based on temporary information related to UE capability in the second UE Assistance Information message being changed from the temporary information related to UE capability in the first UE Assistance Information message, even though the prohibit timer is running,

wherein the temporary information related to UE capability is a number of maximum component carriers that the UE can support.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the UE does not transmit the second UE Assistance Information message based on the temporary information related to UE capability in the second UE Assistance Information message being same as the temporary information related to UE capability in the first UE Assistance Information message, while the prohibit timer is running.

8. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

re-start the prohibit timer based on the second UE Assistance Information message being transmitted.

9. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein based on the temporary information related to UE capability in the second UE Assistance Information message being changed from the temporary information related to UE capability in the first UE Assistance Information message, the temporary information related to UE capability in the second UE Assistance Information message is lower or higher than the temporary information related to UE capability in the first UE Assistance Information message.

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the prohibit timer is for prohibiting transmission of a UE Assistance Information message.
