Abstract

Disclosed is a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G communication system such as LTE. A communication method of a terminal in a wireless communication system, which includes a first base station supporting first wireless communication and a second base station supporting second wireless communication, can comprise the steps of: performing data communication though the first wireless communication with the first base station; receiving, from the first or second base station, configuration information for second wireless communication connection; reporting, to the first or second base station, the result of measurement on at least one beamforming reference signal having been received from the second base station, on the basis of the configuration information; and establishing the second wireless communication connection with the second base station on the basis of the measurement result.

Claims (55)

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

transmitting, to a terminal, a first message including first information on a carrier frequency of at least one neighbouring cell and second information on a measurement configuration for the at least one neighbouring cell, wherein the second information is associated with synchronization reference signals (SSs) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH);

receiving, from the terminal, a measurement report including a measurement result of the at least one neighbouring cell; and

transmitting, to the terminal, a second message for adding the at least one neighbouring cell of a second base station based on the measurement report,

wherein a system frame number of the second base station is associated with the PBCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message includes system information of the second base station.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first base station supports evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA), and wherein the second base station supports new radio (NR), and

wherein the first message and the second message are a radio resource control (RRC) message.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the terminal, a request message requesting a capability of the terminal for a radio access technology type including a dual connectivity of the E-UTRA and the NR; and

receiving, from the terminal, a response message including information on the capability of the terminal for the dual connectivity.

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

receiving, from a first base station, a first message including first information on a carrier frequency of at least one neighbouring cell and second information on a measurement configuration for the at least one neighbouring cell, wherein the second information is associated with synchronization reference signals (SSs) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH);

performing a measurement for the at least one neighbouring cell, based on the first information and the second information;

transmitting, to the first base station, a measurement report including a measurement result of the at least one neighbouring cell; and

receiving, from the first base station, a second message for adding the at least one neighbouring cell of a second base station based on the measurement report,

wherein a system frame number of the second base station is associated with the PBCH.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second message includes system information of the second base station.

7. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the first base station supports evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA), and wherein the second base station supports new radio (NR), and

wherein the first message and the second message are a radio resource control (RRC) message.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving, from the first base station, a request message requesting a capability of the terminal for a radio access technology type including a dual connectivity of the E-UTRA and the NR; and

transmitting, to the first base station, a response message including information on the capability of the terminal for the dual connectivity.

9. A first base station in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit, to a terminal, a first message including first information on a carrier frequency of at least one neighbouring cell and second information on a measurement configuration for the at least one neighbouring cell, wherein the second information is associated with synchronization reference signals (SSs) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),

control the transceiver to receive, from the terminal, a measurement report including a measurement result of the at least one neighbouring cell, and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the terminal, a second message for adding the at least one neighbouring cell of a second base station based on the measurement report,

wherein a system frame number of the second base station is associated with the PBCH.

10. The first base station of claim 9 , wherein the second message includes system information of the second base station.

11. The first base station of claim 9 ,

wherein the first base station supports evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA),

wherein the second base station supports new radio (NR), and

wherein the first message and the second message are a radio resource control (RRC) message.

12. The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit, to the terminal, a request message requesting a capability of the terminal for a radio access technology type including a dual connectivity of the E-UTRA and the NR, and

control the transceiver to receive, from the terminal, a response message including information on the capability of the terminal for the dual connectivity.

13. A terminal in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a first base station, a first message including first information on a carrier frequency of at least one neighbouring cell and second information on a measurement configuration for the at least one neighbouring cell, wherein the second information is associated with synchronization reference signals (SSs) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),

perform a measurement for the at least one neighbouring cell, based on the first information and the second information,

control the transceiver to transmit, to the first base station, a measurement report including a measurement result of the at least one neighbouring cell, and

control the transceiver to receive, from the first base station, a second message for adding the at least one neighbouring cell of a second base station based on the measurement report,

wherein a system frame number of the second base station is associated with the PBCH.

14. The terminal of claim 13 , wherein the second message includes system information of the second base station.

15. The terminal of claim 13 ,

wherein the first base station supports evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA), and wherein the second base station supports new radio (NR), and

wherein the first message and the second message are a radio resource control (RRC) message.

16. The terminal of claim 15 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from the first base station, a request message requesting a capability of the terminal for a radio access technology type including a dual connectivity of the E-UTRA and the NR, and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the first base station, a response message including information on the capability of the terminal for the dual connectivity.
