Abstract

Claims (42)

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

transmitting, to a base station, UE capability information including a first indicator indicating that the UE supports reporting of cell global identifier (CGI) information associated with a non-public network (NPN);

receiving, from the base station, measurement configuration information including report configuration information for a new radio (NR), wherein the report configuration information for the NR includes a second indicator indicating a cell to which CGI information is to be reported;

obtaining, from a neighbouring cell, system information including an NPN identity information list, wherein the NPN identity information list includes an NPN identity list and cellReservedForOperatorUse; and

transmitting, to the base station, a measurement report message including the NPN identity information list including the NPN identity list and the cellReservedForOperatorUse,

wherein the measurement report message further includes cellReservedForOtherUse obtained from the neighbouring cell, and

wherein the neighbouring cell is indicated by the second indicator.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the NPN identity information list further includes at least one of a tracking area code, a radio access network (RAN) area code or a cell identity.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the system information further includes the cellReservedForOtherUse.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the neighbouring cell indicated by the second indicator is a NR cell.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE supports the NPN and the neighbouring cell is an NPN only cell.

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

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), UE capability information including a first indicator indicating that the UE supports reporting of cell global identifier (CGI) information associated with a non-public network (NPN);

transmitting, to the UE, measurement configuration information including report configuration information for a new radio (NR), wherein the report configuration information for the NR includes a second indicator indicating a cell to which CGI information is to be reported; and

in case that system information including an NPN identity information list is obtained at the UE from a neighbouring cell, receiving, from the UE, a measurement report message including the NPN identity information list including a NPN identity list and cellReservedForOperatorUse,

wherein the measurement report message further includes cellReservedForOtherUse obtained from the neighbouring cell, and

wherein the neighbouring cell is indicated by the second indicator.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the NPN identity information list further includes at least one of a tracking area code, a radio access network (RAN) area code or a cell identity.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the system information further includes the cellReservedForOtherUse.

9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the neighbouring cell indicated by the second indicator is a NR cell.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the NPN is supported at the UE and the neighbouring cell is an NPN only cell.

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

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a base station, UE capability information including a first indicator indicating that the UE supports reporting of cell global identifier (CGI) information associated with a non-public network (NPN),

receive, from the base station, measurement configuration information including report configuration information for a new radio (NR), wherein the report configuration information for the NR includes a second indicator indicating a cell to which CGI information is to be reported,

obtain, from a neighbouring cell, system information including an NPN identity information list, wherein the NPN identity information list includes an NPN identity list and cellReservedForOperatorUse, and

transmit, to the base station, a measurement report message including the NPN identity information list including the NPN identity list and the cellReservedForOperatorUse,

wherein the measurement report message further includes cellReservedForOtherUse obtained from the neighbouring cell, and

wherein the neighbouring cell is indicated by the second indicator.

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

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE), UE capability information including a first indicator indicating that the UE supports reporting of cell global identifier (CGI) information associated with a non-public network (NPN),

transmit, to the UE, measurement configuration information including report configuration information for a new radio (NR), wherein the report configuration information for the NR includes a second indicator indicating a cell to which CGI information is to be reported, and

in case that system information including an NPN identity information list is obtained at the UE from a neighbouring cell cell, receive, from the UE, a measurement report message including the NPN identity information list including a NPN identity list and cellReservedForOperatorUse,

wherein the measurement report message further includes cellReservedForOtherUse obtained from the neighbouring cell, and

wherein the neighbouring cell is indicated by the second indicator.

13 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein the NPN identity information list further includes at least one of a tracking area code, a radio access network (RAN) area code or a cell identity.

14 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein the system information further includes the cellReservedForOtherUse.

15 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein the neighbouring cell indicated by the second indicator is a NR cell.

16 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein the UE supports the NPN and the neighbouring cell is an NPN only cell.
