Abstract

The present disclosure proposes a method and a device for reporting information related to handover in a next generation mobile communication system. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise the steps of acquiring configuration information related to dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover, after execution of the DAPS handover is triggered on the basis of the configuration information, identifying failure in a radio link between the terminal and a source cell, and transmitting information on the failure in the radio link.

Claims (51)

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

receiving, from a source cell, configuration information related to a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover;

identifying, during the DAPS handover, a failure of a radio link with the source cell;

identifying whether at least one reference signal received power (RSRP) of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) used for preamble transmissions to a target cell is lower than a first threshold;

in case that the at least one RSRP of the SSBs is lower than the first threshold, storing a lowest RSRP among the at least one RSRP in a handover report; and

transmitting, to the target cell, the handover report after the DAPS handover is completed, the handover report including the lowest RSRP and an indicator indicating the failure of the radio link with the source cell during the DAPS handover.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the target cell, time information between a reception of the configuration information and an occurrence of the failure of the radio link with the source cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying whether a number of preamble transmissions in the target cell is less than a second threshold; and

in case that the number of preamble transmissions in the target cell is less than the second threshold, storing a maximum number of preamble transmissions transmitted during the DAPS handover in the handover report.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

in case that a time from receiving the configuration information until the DAPS handover is successfully completed is less than a fourth threshold, storing information on the time in the handover report.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

deleting contents in the handover report based on another handover being triggered,

wherein during the DAPS handover means a time interval between receiving, from the source cell, the configuration information and transmitting, to the target cell, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration complete message.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying whether a number of contentions occurred during a random access procedure in the target cell exceeds a third threshold; and

in case that the number of contentions exceeds the third threshold, storing a maximum number of contentions occurred during the DAPS handover in the handover report.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the handover report further includes information on indicating a cell in which a re-establishment attempt was made after the failure of the radio link.

8. A method performed by a target base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a source cell, a request message associated with a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover;

transmitting, to the source cell, a message as a response to the request message;

performing, with a terminal, a random access procedure for the DAPS handover; and

receiving, from the terminal, a handover report after the DAPS handover is completed,

wherein in case that a failure of a radio link occurred at the source cell during the DAPS handover, the handover report includes an indicator indicating the failure of the radio link during the DAPS handover, and

wherein in case that at least one reference signal received power (RSRP) of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) used for preamble transmissions of the random access procedure is lower than a first threshold, the handover report further includes a lowest RSRP among the at least one RSRP.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving, from the terminal, time information between transferring configuration information related to the DAPS handover from the source cell to the terminal and an occurrence of the failure of the radio link.

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

a transceiver to transmit and receive signals; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a source cell, configuration information related to a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover,

identify, during the DAPS handover, a failure of a radio link with the source cell,

identify whether at least one reference signal received power (RSRP) of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) used for preamble transmissions to a target cell is lower than a first threshold,

in case that the at least one RSRP of the SSBs is lower than the first threshold, store a lowest RSRP among the at least one RSRP in a handover report, and

transmit, to the target cell, the handover report after the DAPS handover is completed, the handover report including the lowest RSRP and an indicator indicating the failure of the radio link with the source cell during the DAPS handover.

11. The terminal of claim 10 ,

wherein the controller is further configured to transmit, to the target cell, time information between a reception of the configuration information and an occurrence of the failure of the radio link with the source cell.

12. A target base station in a wireless communication system, the target base station comprising:

a transceiver to transmit and receive signals; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a source cell, a request message associated with a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover,

transmit, to the source cell, a message as a response to the request message,

perform, with a terminal, a random access procedure for the DAPS handover, and

receive, from the terminal, a handover report after the DAPS handover is completed,

wherein in case that a failure of a radio link occurred at the source cell during the DAPS handover, the handover report includes an indicator indicating the failure of the radio link during the DAPS handover, and

wherein in case that at least one reference signal received power (RSRP) of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) used for preamble transmissions of the random access procedure is lower than a first threshold, the handover report further includes a lowest RSRP among the at least one RSRP.

13. The base station of claim 12 ,

wherein the controller is further configured to receive, from the terminal, time information between transferring configuration information related to the DAPS handover from the source cell to the terminal and an occurrence of the failure of the radio link.
