Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technology for fusing, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services, such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail, and security and safety related services, on the basis of 5G communication technologies and IoT-related technologies. The present disclosure may provide a method and a device for collecting and reporting mobility history information by a terminal in a next-generation mobile communication system.

Claims (39)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying that the UE enters a camped normally state from an any cell selection state or a camped on any cell state;

in case that the UE enters the camped normally state from the any cell selection state or the camped on any cell state, setting a time spent field to time information spent in at least one of the any cell selection state or the camped on any cell state; and

transmitting, to a base station, mobility history report information including the time spent field.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the mobility history report information comprises:

receiving, from the base station, UE information request message including an indication indicating to report information on mobility history information; and

based on the indication, transmitting, to the base station, a UE information response message including the mobility history report information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobility history report information further includes a cell identity (ID) of a visited cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobility history report information includes the time spent field of an entry, after removing the oldest entry.

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

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), UE information request message including an indication indicating to report information on mobility history information; and

based on the indication, receiving, from the UE, a UE information response message including mobility history report information,

wherein the mobility history report information includes a time spent field, and

wherein the time spent field is set to time information spent in at least one of an any cell selection state or a camped on any cell state to a camped normally state.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the mobility history report information further includes a cell identity (ID) of a visited cell.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the mobility history report information includes the time spent field of an entry, after removing the oldest entry.

8. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

identify that the UE enters a camped normally state from an any cell selection state or a camped on any cell state,

in case that the UE enters the camped normally state from the any cell selection state or the camped on any cell state, set a time spent field to time information spent in at least one of the any cell selection state or the camped on any cell state, and

transmit, to a base station, a mobility history report information including the time spent field.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive, from the base station, UE information request message including an indication indicating to report information on mobility history information, and

based on the indication, transmit, to the base station, a UE information response message including the mobility history report information.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the mobility history report information further includes a cell identity (ID) of a visited cell.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the mobility history report information includes the time spent field of an entry, after removing the oldest entry.

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

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), UE information request message including an indication indicating to report information on mobility history information, and

based on the indication, receive, from the UE, a UE information response message including mobility history report information,

wherein the mobility history report information includes a time spent field, and

wherein the time spent field is set to time information spent in at least one of an any cell selection state or a camped on any cell state to a camped normally state.

13. The base station of claim 12 ,

wherein the mobility history report information further includes a cell identity (ID) of a visited cell, and

wherein the mobility history report information includes the time spent field of an entry, after removing the oldest entry.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE enters the camped normally state in a new radio (NR) or an evolved universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRA) from the any cell selection state or the camped on any cell state in the NR or a long term evolution (LTE).

15. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the UE enters the camped normally state in a new radio (NR) or an evolved universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRA) from the any cell selection state or the camped on any cell state in the NR or a long term evolution (LTE).
