Method and apparatus for performing cell access without random access in next generation wireless communication system
The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present disclosure relates to handover performed without random access in a wireless communication system.
1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a source base station, a first radio resource control (RRC) message for a random access channel (RACH)-less handover (HO), wherein the first RRC message includes first information for the RACH-less HO and at least one bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information including second information;
performing an uplink transmission for the RACH-less HO using a configured uplink grant for the RACH-less HO of a specific BWP identified based on a configuration associated with the at least one BWP among the at least one BWP;
in case that the first information is included in the first RRC message and lower layers report the RACH-less HO is successfully completed, stopping a timer; and
based on the stopped the timer, releasing the configured uplink grant for the RACH-less HO of the specific BWP in case that the first information is included in the first RRC message and the configuration is configured,
wherein the first information comprises target timing advance (TA) information.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TA information comprises Ta-0.
3. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a terminal, a first radio resource control (RRC) message for a random access channel (RACH)-less handover (HO), wherein the first RRC message includes first information for the RACH-less HO and at least one bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information including second information,
wherein an uplink transmission for the RACH-less HO using a configured uplink grant for the RACH-less HO of a specific BWP is performed,
wherein the specific BWP is identified based on a configuration associated with the at least one BWP among the at least one BWP,
wherein the first information comprises target timing advance (TA) information,
wherein a timer is stopped in case that the first information is included in the first RRC message and lower layers report the RACH-less HO is successfully completed, and
wherein the configured uplink grant for the RACH-less HO of the specific BWP is released in case that the first information is included in the first RRC message and the configuration is configured.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the TA information comprises Ta-0.
5. A terminal, comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive at least one signal; and
a controller coupled to the transceiver,
wherein the controller is configured to:
receive, from a source base station, a first radio resource control (RRC) message for a random access channel (RACH)-less handover (HO), wherein the first RRC message includes first information for the RACH-less HO and at least one bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information including second information,
perform an uplink transmission for the RACH-less HO using a configured uplink grant for the RACH-less HO of a specific BWP identified based on a configuration associated with the at least one BWP among the at least one BWP,
stop a timer in case that the first information is included in the first RRC message and lower layers report the RACH-less HO is successfully completed, and
based on the stopping the timer, release the configured uplink grant for the RACH-less HO of the specific BWP in case that the first information is included in the first RRC message and the configuration is configured,
wherein the first information comprises target timing advance (TA) information.
6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the TA information comprises Ta-0.
7. A base station, comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive at least one signal; and
a controller coupled to the transceiver,
wherein the controller is configured to:
transmit, to a terminal, a first radio resource control (RRC) message for a random access channel (RACH)-less handover (HO), wherein the first RRC message includes first information for the RACH-less HO and at least one bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information including second information,
wherein an uplink transmission for the RACH-less HO using a configured uplink grant for the RACH-less HO of a specific BWP is performed,
wherein the specific BWP is identified based on a configuration associated with the at least one BWP among the at least one BWP,
wherein the first information comprises target timing advance (TA) information,
wherein a timer is stopped in case that the first information is included in the first RRC message and lower layers report the RACH-less HO is successfully completed, and
wherein the configured uplink grant for the RACH-less HO of the specific BWP is released in case that the first information is included in the first RRC message and the configuration is configured.
8. The base station of claim 7 ,
wherein the TA information comprises Ta-0.
