Abstract

A method and apparatus for accessing a NR cell in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for accessing a NR cell includes receiving in a first cell, by a terminal from a base station, a System Information Block1 (SIB1), determining, by the terminal, if the first cell is barred and performing by the terminal, if the cell is not barred, random access procedure based at least in part on a second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList and a second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer.

Claims (43)

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

receiving, by a terminal from a base station, a MIB (Master Information Block) and a SIB1 (System Information Block1) in a first cell;

determining, by the terminal, if the first cell is barred based on a value indicated in a cellBarred in the MIB and the presence of a second intraFreqReselection in the SIB1;

determining, by the terminal, a time domain allocation of a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) carrying a Msg3 based on either a first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList or a second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList; and

transmitting, by the terminal to the base station, the PUSCH carrying the Msg3, and

starting a contention resolution timer,

wherein the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is used if the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is present in the SIB1, and

the first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is used if the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is absent in the SIB1, and

the contention resolution timer is set to a second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer if the second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer is present in the SIB1, and

the contention resolution timer is set to a first ra-ContentionResolutionTimer if the second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer is absent in the SIB1, and

the terminal is a type2 terminal, the type2 terminal supports narrower bandwidth than a type1 terminal, and

the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList includes parameters for a type2 terminal in the first cell, and

the second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer indicates a value for the contention resolution timer to be used by the type2 terminal in the first cell.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList locates behind the first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList in SIB1 and

the second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer locates behind the first ra-ContentionResolutionTimer.

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 control the transceiver to:

receive in a first cell a MIB and a SIB1;

determine if the first cell is barred based on a value indicated in a cellBarred in the MIB and the presence of a second intraFreqReselection in the SIB1;

determine a time domain allocation of a PUSCH carrying a Msg3 based on either a first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList or a second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList;

transmit the PUSCH carrying the Msg3, and

start a contention resolution timer,

wherein the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is used if the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is present in the SIB1, and

the first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is used if the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is absent in the SIB1, and

the contention resolution timer is set to a second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer if the second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer is present in the SIB1, and

the contention resolution timer is set to a first ra-ContentionResolutionTimer if the second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer is absent in the SIB1, and

the terminal is a type2 terminal, the type2 terminal supports narrower bandwidth than a type1 terminal, and

the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList includes parameters for a type2 terminal in the first cell, and

the second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer indicates a value for the contention resolution timer to be used by a type2 terminal in the first cell.

4. A method by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station, a MIB and a SIB1 in a first cell;

allowing, by the base station, access from a second type terminal by setting a specific value in the cellBarred in the MIB and including a second intraFreqReselection in the SIB1;

receiving, by the base station from a type2 terminal, PUSCH transmission based on either a first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList or a second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList; and

starting, by the base station, a contention resolution timer

wherein the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is used if the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is present in the SIB1, and

the first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is used if the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is absent in the SIB1, and

the contention resolution timer is set to a second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer if the second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer is present in the SIB1, and

the contention resolution timer is set to a first ra-ContentionResolutionTimer if the second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer is absent in the SIB1, and

a type2 terminal is characterized in that the type2 terminal supports smaller bandwidth than a type1 terminal supports, and

the second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList includes parameters for a type2 terminal in the first cell, and

the second ra-ContentionResolutionTimer indicates a value for the contention resolution timer to be used by a type2 terminal in the first cell.
