Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a base station that supports self-configuration and self-optimization and a method thereof. A method performed by a target base station in a mobile communication system includes: receiving a radio link failure (RLF) report of a user equipment (UE) from a source base station or a third base station; detecting a reason for an occurrence of a failure based on the RLF report of the UE; and transmitting a message to the source base station based on the detected reason for the occurrence of the failure.

Claims (62)

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

receiving, from a source base station, a first message for requesting conditional handover (CHO);

transmitting, to the source base station, a second message associated with a handover success;

receiving, from the source base station, a sequence number (SN) status transfer message including a CHO candidate cell list or at least one CHO execution condition; and

storing the CHO candidate cell list or the at least one CHO execution condition.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the source base station, a handover report message including a type of a handover report and information on a CHO configuration, and

wherein the type of the handover report indicates one of a too late CHO execution, a too early CHO execution, or a CHO execution to a wrong cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from a third base station, a third message associated with a failure indication, the third message including a radio link failure (RLF) report of a user equipment (UE), and

wherein the RLF report includes at least one of information on whether the CHO is executed, an identifier of a target cell associated with a CHO failure, an identifier of a cell associated with a CHO based recovery, or information on a time between a CHO execution and a reception of a reconfiguration message associated with the CHO.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CHO candidate cell list includes a global cell identifier (ID) of each candidate cell associated with the CHO, and

wherein the at least one CHO execution condition includes a condition in a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the source base station, a handover report message,

wherein the handover report message incudes the CHO candidate cell list, the CHO execution condition and a radio link failure (RLF) report of a user equipment (UE).

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

transmitting, to a target base station, a first message for requesting conditional handover (CHO);

receiving, from the target base station, a second message associated with a handover success; and

transmitting, to the target base station, a sequence number (SN) status transfer message including a CHO candidate cell list or at least one CHO execution condition,

wherein the CHO candidate cell list or the at least one CHO execution condition is stored in the target base station.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving, from the target base station, a handover report message including a type of a handover report and information on a CHO configuration, and

wherein the type of the handover report indicates one of a too late CHO execution, a too early CHO execution, or a CHO execution to a wrong cell.

8. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the CHO candidate cell list includes a global cell identifier (ID) of each candidate cell associated with the CHO.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one CHO execution condition includes a condition in a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message.

10. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving, from the target base station, a handover report message,

wherein the handover report message incudes the CHO candidate cell list, the CHO execution condition and a radio link failure (RLF) report of a user equipment (UE).

11. A target base station in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a source base station via the transceiver, a first message for requesting conditional handover (CHO);

transmit, to the source base station via the transceiver, a second message associated with a handover success;

receive, from the source base station via the transceiver, a sequence number (SN) status transfer message including a CHO candidate cell list or at least one CHO execution condition; and

store the CHO candidate cell list or the at least one CHO execution condition.

12. The target base station of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit, to the source base station, a handover report message including a type of a handover report and information on a CHO configuration, and

wherein the type of the handover report indicates one of a too late CHO execution, a too early CHO execution, or a CHO execution to a wrong cell.

13. The target base station of claim 11 ,

wherein the CHO candidate cell list includes a global cell identifier (ID) of each candidate cell associated with the CHO, and

wherein the at least one CHO execution condition includes a condition in a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message.

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

receive, from a third base station, a third message associated with a failure indication, wherein the third message includes a radio link failure (RLF) report of a user equipment (UE),

wherein the RLF report includes at least one of information on whether the CHO is executed, an identifier of a target cell associated with a CHO failure, an identifier of a cell associated with a CHO based recovery, or information on a time between a CHO execution and a reception of a reconfiguration message associated with the CHO.

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

transmit, to the source base station, a handover report message,

wherein the handover report message incudes the CHO candidate cell list, the CHO execution condition and a radio link failure (RLF) report of a user equipment (UE).

16. A source base station in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to a target base station via the transceiver, a first message for requesting conditional handover (CHO),

receive, from the target base station via the transceiver, a second message associated with a handover success, and

transmit, to the target base station via the transceiver, a sequence number (SN) status transfer message including a CHO candidate cell list or at least one CHO execution condition,

wherein the CHO candidate cell list or the at least one CHO execution condition is stored in the target base station.

17. The source base station of claim 16 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive, from the target base station, a handover report message including a type of a handover report and information on a CHO configuration, and

wherein the type of the handover report indicates one of a too late CHO execution, a too early CHO execution, or a CHO execution to a wrong cell.

18. The source base station of claim 16 , wherein the CHO candidate cell list includes a global cell identifier (ID) of each candidate cell associated with the CHO, and

wherein the at least one CHO execution condition includes a condition in a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message.

19. The source base station of claim 16 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive, from the target base station, a handover report message,

wherein the handover report message incudes the CHO candidate cell list, the CHO execution condition and a radio link failure (RLF) report of a user equipment (UE).
