Abstract

Disclosed are a method by which a terminal reports a mobility history, and an apparatus for supporting the same. The method comprises the steps of: updating, according to a movement of the terminal, a mobility history including identification information on a beam in which the terminal has stayed and a stay time in the beam; allowing the terminal to enter an RRC connection state; and transmitting the stored identification information and the stay time to a network.

Claims (21)

1. A method in which a user equipment (UE) reports a mobility history in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

storing a valid reference signal (RS) identity (ID) related to a beam in a field related to a beam ID and a stay time, during which the UE stays in the beam, in a mobility history based on a change of the beam;

storing, a valid RS ID related to a transmission reception point (TRP) during which the UE stays in a field related to a TRP ID and a stay time in the TRP, in the mobility history based on a change of the TRP;

allowing the UE to enter an RRC connected state; and

transmitting the mobility history to a network,

wherein the TRP is an area formed by a data transmission point and a data reception point, and

wherein the TRP includes a plurality of beam areas.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobility history comprises identification information about a cell in which the UE stays and a stay time in the cell.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the identification information about the cell is a global ID of the cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

recording a cell ID of a cell in which the UE stays and a stay time in the cell in the mobility history based on invalidity of the beam.

5. A user equipment (UE) for reporting a mobility history in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the memory and the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

store a valid reference signal (RS) identity (ID) related to a beam in a field related to a beam ID and a stay time, during which the UE stays in the beam, in a mobility history based on a change of the beam;

store, a valid RS ID related to a transmission reception point (TRP) during which the UE stays in a field related to a TRP ID and a stay time in the TRP, in the mobility history based on a change of the TRP;

allow the UE to enter an RRC connected state; and

transmit the mobility history to a network,

wherein the TRP is an area formed by a data transmission point and a data reception point, and

wherein the TRP includes a plurality of beam areas.
