Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-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. Accordingly the embodiments herein provides a method for handling a RAR in a wireless communication system ( 300 ).

Claims (41)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, a random access (RA) preamble in a system frame;

monitoring downlink control information (DCI) with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a RA-radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) (RA-RNTI) including information associated with a system frame number (SFN);

receiving, from the base station, a random access response (RAR) in an RAR window based on the information associated with the SFN and information associated with the system frame;

and

decoding the RAR.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that an RA procedure is completed in case that the RAR includes a random access preamble identity (RAPID) without other information.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

processing an uplink (UL) grant within the RAR in case that the RAR includes the RAPID and the other information.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying whether the information associated with the SFN is same as the information associated with the system frame in which the RA preamble is transmitted.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

decoding a transport block (TB) including the RAR.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the SFN included in the DCI with CRC scrambled by the RA-RNTI is 2 bits least significant bit (LSB) of SFN in the DCI with CRC scrambled by the RA-RNTI.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the SFN included in the DCI with CRC scrambled by the RA-RNTI is identified, in case that a length of the RAR window is larger than 10 ms.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RAR is decoded in case that the information associated with the SFN included in the DCI with CRC scrambled by the RA-RNTI is same as the information associated with the system frame in which the RA preamble is transmitted.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying that a backoff indicator is included in the RAR; and

applying the backoff indicator.

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

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

transmit, to a base station via the transceiver, a random access (RA) preamble in a system frame,

monitor downlink control information (DCI) with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a RA-radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) (RA-RNTI) including information associated with a system frame number (SFN),

receive, from the base station via the transceiver, a random access response (RAR) in an RAR window based on the information associated with the SFN and information associated with the system frame, and

decode the RAR.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine that an RA procedure is completed in case that the RAR includes a random access preamble identity (RAPID) without other information.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

process an uplink (UL) grant within the RAR in case that the RAR includes the RAPID and the other information.

13. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

identify whether the information associated with the SFN is same as the information associated with the system frame in which the RA preamble is transmitted.

14. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

decode a transport block (TB) including the RAR.

15. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the information associated with the SFN included in the DCI with CRC scrambled by the RA-RNTI corresponds to 2 bits least significant bit (LSB) of SFN in the DCI with CRC scrambled by the RA-RNTI.

16. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the information associated with the SFN included in the DCI with CRC scrambled by the RA-RNTI is identified, in case that a length of the RAR window is larger than 10 ms.

17. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the RAR is decoded in case that the information associated with the SFN included in the DCI with CRC scrambled by the RA-RNTI is same as the information associated with the system frame in which the RA preamble is transmitted.

18. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

identify that a backoff indicator is included in the RAR, and

apply the backoff indicator.
