Abstract

The disclosure relates to a fifth generation (5G) or sixth generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method and an apparatus for logging listen-before-talk (LBT) failure information in a mobile communication system are provided. The operation method of a terminal in a wireless communication system includes attempting to transmit a preamble in a random access procedure via an unlicensed spectrum, in case that one or more failures of the attempting to transmit the preamble according to LBT failure is detected, generating information on random access report including a number of the one or more failures of the attempting to transmit the preamble, accessing to a base station based on the preamble after the attempting to transmit the preamble is successful, and transmitting, to the base station, the information on random access report.

Claims (40)

1. An operation method of a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

attempting to transmit a preamble in a random access procedure by performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) via an unlicensed spectrum;

generating a random access report based on the attempting to transmit the preamble; and

transmitting, to a base station, the random access report,

wherein the random access report includes perRAInfoListLBT, and

wherein a random access information included in the perRAInfoListLBT includes information on random access failure due to LBT failure.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the random access report comprises a number of one or more failures of the attempting to transmit the preamble, and

wherein a counter for the number is incremented by 1, in response to a failure of the attempting to transmit the preamble according to the LBT failure being detected.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a consistent LBT failure based on a counter exceeding a predetermined value;

stopping the random access procedure;

generating information on a BWP where the consistent LBT failure is determined based on a consistent LBT failure being determined; and

performing a new random access procedure by switching to a new bandwidth part (BWP).

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the information on the BWP where the consistent LBT failure is determined is included in the random access report.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the information on the BWP where the consistent LBT failure is determined includes at least one of location and BWP information, or subcarrier spacing.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on detecting a radio link failure (RLF), transmitting, to the base station, the random access report.

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

a transceiver; and

a controller operably connected to the transceiver and being configured to:

attempt to transmit a preamble in a random access procedure by performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) via an unlicensed spectrum,

generate a random access report based on the attempt to transmit the preamble, and

transmit, to a base station, the random access report,

wherein the random access report includes perRAInfoListLBT, and

wherein a per random access information included in the perRAInfoListLBT includes information on random access failure due to LBT failure.

8. The terminal of claim 7 ,

wherein the random access report comprises a number of one or more failures of the attempting to transmit the preamble, and

wherein a counter for the number is incremented by 1, in response to a failure of the attempt to transmit the preamble according to the LBT failure being detected.

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

determine a consistent LBT failure, in case that a counter exceeds a predetermined value,

stop the random access procedure,

generate information on a BWP where the consistent LBT failure is determined, in case that a consistent LBT failure is determined, and

perform a new random access procedure by switching to a new bandwidth part (BWP).

10. The terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein the information on the BWP where the consistent LBT failure is determined is included in the random access report.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the information on the BWP where the consistent LBT failure is determined includes at least one of location and BWP information, or subcarrier spacing.

12. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

in case that a radio link failure (RLF) is detected, transmit, to the base station, the random access report.
