Method and apparatus for random access in wireless mobile communication system
View Patent ↗A Method and Apparatus to address problem of RACH resource partitioning. The method includes receiving SIB1 from the base station, determining an uplink for a random access procedure based on rsrpThresholdSSB-SUL, determining a first target feature combination, determining that the CE is applicable based on rsrp-ThresholdSSB-CE, determining a second target feature combination by adding CE in the first target feature combination, selecting a second RACH-ConfigCommon based on the comparison between the target feature combination and the one or more feature combinations associated with the one or more second RACH-ConfigCommons of the selected uplink and performing a random access procedure based on the selected second RACH-ConfigCommon.
1. A method performed by a terminal, the method comprising:
receiving, by the terminal, a System Information Block1 (SIB1), wherein the SIB1 comprises one or more random access channel configuration common (RACH-ConfigCommon) parameters, wherein each of the one or more RACH-ConfigCommon parameters comprises zero or one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information, wherein each of the one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information comprises feature-combination information, wherein the feature-combination information of at least one of the one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information comprises:
a reduced capability (redcap) field;
a small data (smallData) field;
a message3 repetition field; and
a slice-related field, and wherein each of the redcap field, the smallData field, and the message3 repetition field comprises one bit indicating a single value, respectively;
selecting, by the terminal, a piece of feature-combination-related information of the one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information, wherein feature-combination information that comprises at least one feature that triggers a random access is selected based on feature-combination-related information corresponding to feature-combination information that comprises all features triggering the random access not existing; and
performing, by the terminal and based on the piece of feature-combination-related information and first information in a RACH-ConfigCommon parameter, of the one or more RACH-ConfigCommon parameters, that comprises the piece of feature-combination-related information, the random access.
2. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the first information is a physical random access channel configuration index (prach-ConfigurationIndex) parameter.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
redcap is a part of a feature combination based on the redcap field being present in the feature-combination information, small data transmission is a part of a feature combination based on the smallData field being present in the feature-combination information, and a message 3 repetition is a part of a feature combination based on the message3 repetition field being present in the feature-combination information.
4. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and
a controller configured to control the transceiver to:
receive a System Information Block1 (SIB1), wherein the SIB1 comprises one or more random access channel configuration common (RACH-ConfigCommon) parameters, wherein each of the one or more RACH-ConfigCommon parameters comprises zero or one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information, wherein each of the one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information comprises feature-combination information, wherein the feature-combination information of at least one of the one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information comprises:
a reduced capability (redcap) field;
a small data (smallData) field;
a message3 repetition field; and
a slice-related field, and wherein each of the redcap field, the smallData field, and the message3 repetition field comprises one bit indicating a single value, respectively;
select a piece of feature-combination-related information of the one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information, wherein feature-combination information that comprises at least one feature that triggers a random access is selected based on feature-combination-related information corresponding to feature-combination information that comprises all features triggering the random access not existing; and
perform, based on the piece of feature-combination-related information and first information in a RACH-ConfigCommon parameter, of the one or more RACH-ConfigCommon parameters, that comprises the piece of feature-combination-related information, the random access.
5. A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:
transmitting, by the base station, a System Information Block1 (SIB1), wherein the SIB1 comprises one or more random access channel configuration common (RACH-ConfigCommon) parameters, wherein each of the one or more RACH-ConfigCommon parameters comprises zero or one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information, wherein each of the one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information comprises feature-combination information, wherein the feature-combination information of at least one of the one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information comprises:
a reduced capability (redcap) field;
a small data (smallData) field;
a message3 repetition field; and
a slice-related field, and wherein each of the redcap field, the smallData field, and the message3 repetition field comprises one bit indicating a single value, respectively; and
performing, by the base station with a terminal, a random access, wherein a piece of feature-combination-related information of the one or more pieces of feature-combination-related information is selected, wherein feature-combination information that comprises at least one feature that triggers the random access is selected based on feature-combination-related information corresponding to feature-combination information that comprises all features triggering the random access not existing, and wherein the random access is based on the selected piece of feature-combination-related information and first information in a RACH-ConfigCommon parameter, of the one or more RACH-ConfigCommon parameters, that comprises the piece of feature-combination-related information.
