Abstract

A Method and Apparatus for multi-SIM operation during handover is provided. The method includes receiving from a base station a first RRCReconfiguration, transmitting to the base station a UEAssistanceInformation, starting the first timer after initiating transmission of UEAssistanceInformation, receiving from the base station a second RRCReconfiguration and starting the second timer before initiating random access procedure. The first RRCReconfiguration includes a configuration information related to terminal state transition, the configuration information related to terminal state transition includes a information for a first timer, the first timer is a timer related to terminal state transition. The UEAssistanceInformation includes a information related to terminal's state. The second RRCReconfiguration includes a ReconfigurationWithSync, the ReconfigurationWithSync includes a information for a second timer related to handover. The first timers stops if the second timer expires while the first timer is running. The second timers stops if the first timer expires while the second timer is running.

Claims (18)

1. A method by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving, by the terminal from a base station, a first RRCReconfiguration, wherein the first RRCReconfiguration comprises configuration information related to terminal state transition, wherein the configuration information related to terminal state transition comprises information on a first timer, and wherein the first timer is a timer related to terminal state transition;

receiving, by the terminal from the base station, a second RRCReconfiguration, wherein the second RRCReconfiguration comprises ReconfigurationWithSync, and wherein the ReconfigurationWithSync comprises information on a second timer related to handover;

transmitting, by the terminal to the base station, a UEAssistanceInformation, wherein the UEAssistanceInformation comprises information related to state of terminal;

starting, by the terminal, the first timer after initiating transmission of the UEAssistanceInformation; and

starting, by the terminal, the second timer before initiating a random access procedure,

wherein the second timer stops in case that the first timer expires while the second timer is running.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first timer stops in case that the second timer expires while the first timer is running.

3. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a base station, a first RRCReconfiguration, wherein the first RRCReconfiguration comprises configuration information related to terminal state transition, wherein the configuration information related to terminal state transition comprises information on a first timer, and wherein the first timer is a timer related to terminal state transition;

transmit, to the base station, a UEAssistanceInformation, wherein the UEAssistanceInformation comprises information related to state of terminal;

start the first timer after initiating transmission of the UEAssistanceInformation;

receive, from the base station, a second RRCReconfiguration, wherein the second RRCReconfiguration comprises ReconfigurationWithSync, and wherein the ReconfigurationWithSync comprises information on a second timer related to handover, and

start the second timer before initiating a random access procedure,

wherein the second timer stops in case that the first timer expires while the second timer is running.
