Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling mobile early data transmission (EDT) procedure in a wireless communication system is provided. A first core network node, in a wireless communication, receives, from a second core network node, a message for a downlink Data including a size of the downlink data. The first core network node determines whether to initiate an early data transmission (EDT) procedure for the downlink data based on the size of the downlink data. The first core network node transmits, to a radio access network (RAN) node, a paging message including information related to the EDT procedure for the downlink data based on the decision to initiate the EDT procedure for a wireless device.

Claims (29)

1. A method performed by a new Radio Access Control (RAN) node in a wireless communication, the method comprising:

receiving, from a mobility management entity (MME), an Application Protocol (S1AP) paging message for a Mobile Terminated Early Data Transmission (MT EDT) procedure,

wherein the S1AP paging message includes (i) an MT EDT indication informing that the MT EDT procedure is triggered and (ii) a Resume ID to retrieve a UE context, and

wherein the S1AP paging message is transmitted to each RAN node belonging to a tracking area of the new RAN node;

transmitting, to a UE, a paging message including the MT EDT indication,

wherein the UE has suspended a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with an old RAN node;

receiving, from the UE, a message including a UE ID and a security key for establishing AS security;

based on that a UE context for the UE is not found, mapping the UE ID onto the Resume ID;

transmitting, to the old RAN node, an X2-AP Retrieve UE Context Request message including the Resume ID and an MT EDT Triggered indication;

receiving, from the old RAN node, an X2-AP Retrieve UE Context Response message associated with the Resume ID;

transmitting, to the MME, an S1-AP Path Switch Request message for resuming the UE Context;

receiving, from the MME, an S1-AP Path Switch Request Acknowledgement message; and

transmitting, to the UE, downlink data based on the resumed UE Context.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is an autonomous driving apparatus in communication with at least one of a mobile terminal, a network, and/or autonomous vehicles other than the UE.

3. A new Radio Access Control (RAN) node in a wireless communication system, the new RAN node comprising:

a memory;

a processor operably coupled to the memory and adapted to perform operations, the operations comprises:

receiving, from a mobility management entity (MME), an Application Protocol (S1AP) paging message for a Mobile Terminated Early Data Transmission (MT EDT) procedure,

wherein the S1AP paging message includes (i) an MT EDT indication informing that the MT EDT procedure is triggered and (ii) a Resume ID to retrieve a UE context,

wherein the S1AP paging message is transmitted to each RAN node belonging to a tracking area of the new RAN node;

transmitting, to a UE, a paging message including the MT EDT indication,

wherein the UE has suspended a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with an old RAN node;

receiving, from the UE, a message including a UE ID and a security key for establishing AS security;

based on that a UE context for the UE is not found, mapping the UE ID onto the Resume ID;

transmitting, to the old RAN node, an X2-AP Retrieve UE Context Request message including the Resume ID and an MT EDT Triggered indication;

receiving, from the old RAN node, an X2-AP Retrieve UE Context Response message associated with the Resume ID;

transmitting, to the MME, an S1-AP Path Switch Request message for resuming the UE Context;

receiving, from the MME, an S1-AP Path Switch Request Acknowledgement message; and

transmitting, to the UE, downlink data based on the resumed UE Context.
