Abstract

A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), of transmitting and receiving signals in a wireless communication system, according to an embodiment, includes receiving a logical channel release request from a next-generation node B (gNB), determining a logical channel to release, an operation mode of the logical channel to release, and whether a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer apparatus connected to the logical channel is re-established, based on the logical channel release request, and performing PDCP data recovery based on the determination result.

Claims (51)

1. A method, performed by a terminal, of performing a cell selection procedure in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, system information;

if the terminal supports a supplementary uplink (SUL) frequency for a cell and if a SUL related cell selection parameter for the cell is included in the system information:

obtaining the SUL related cell selection parameter included in the system information; and

performing the cell selection procedure for the cell based on the SUL related cell selection parameter, and

if the terminal supports the SUL frequency for the cell and if the SUL related cell selection parameter is not included in the system information:

obtaining an uplink (UL) related cell selection parameter included in the system information, and

performing the cell selection procedure for the cell based on the UL related cell selection parameter.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises:

if the terminal does not support the SUL frequency for the cell:

obtaining the UL related cell selection parameter for the cell included in the system information, and

performing the cell selection procedure for the cell based on the UL related cell selection parameter.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SUL related cell selection parameter includes a minimum required receiving power value for the SUL frequency in the cell.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the performing of the cell selection procedure comprises:

determining a cell selection receiving power value, based on the minimum required receiving power value for the SUL frequency and a measured cell receiving power value for the cell; and

selecting the cell, based on a result of the determining.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the system information comprises remaining minimum system information (RMSI).

6. A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:

generating, system information including an uplink (UL) related cell selection parameter for a cell; and

transmitting the system information,

wherein if the base station supports a supplementary uplink (SUL) frequency for the cell, the system information further includes a SUL related cell selection parameter for the cell, and

wherein the SUL related cell selection parameter for the cell is used for a cell selection procedure for the cell if a terminal supports the SUL frequency for the cell, and the UL related cell selection parameter is used for the cell selection procedure for the cell if the terminal does not support the SUL frequency for the cell.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the SUL related cell selection parameter for the cell is associated with a minimum required receiving power value for the SUL in the cell.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the system information comprises remaining minimum system information (RMSI).

9. A terminal for performing a cell selection procedure, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, system information,

if the terminal supports a supplementary uplink (SUL) frequency for a cell and if a SUL related cell selection parameter for the cell is included in the system information:

obtain the SUL related cell selection parameter for the cell included in the system information, and

perform the cell selection procedure for the cell based on the SUL related cell selection parameter, and

if the terminal supports the SUL frequency for the cell and if the SUL related cell selection parameter is not included in the system information:

obtain an uplink (UL) related cell selection parameter included in the system information, and

perform the cell selection procedure for the cell based on the UL related cell selection parameter.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to, if the terminal does not support the SUL frequency for the cell:

obtain the UL related cell selection parameter for the cell included in the system information, and

perform the cell selection procedure for the cell based on the UL related cell selection parameter.

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the SUL related cell selection parameter includes a minimum required receiving power value for the SUL frequency in the cell.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a cell selection receiving power value, based on the minimum required receiving power value for the SUL frequency and a measured cell receiving power value for the cell, and

select the cell, based on a result of the determination.

13. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the system information comprises remaining minimum system information (RMSI).

14. A base station for performing a cell selection procedure, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

generate system information including an uplink (UL) related cell selection parameter for a cell, and

transmit the system information,

wherein if the base station supports a supplementary uplink (SUL) frequency for the cell, the system information further includes a SUL related cell selection parameter for the cell, and

wherein the SUL related cell selection parameter for the cell is used for the cell selection procedure for the cell if a terminal supports the SUL frequency for the cell, and the UL related cell selection parameter is used for the cell selection procedure for the cell if the terminal does not support the SUL frequency for the cell.

15. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the SUL related cell selection parameter for the cell is associated with a minimum required receiving power value for the SUL in the cell.

16. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the system information comprises remaining minimum system information (RMSI).
