Method and apparatus for activating and reactivating SCell considering currently activated bandwidth part and bandwidth part configuration information in next-generation mobile communication system
The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -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. A method of introducing a new dormant bandwidth part (BWP) and operating the dormant BWP in units of BWPs (bandwidth part-level) is provided.
1 . A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) associated with a secondary cell (SCell) activation;
identifying whether the SCell was deactivated prior to receiving the MAC CE;
in case that the SCell was deactivated prior to receiving the MAC CE:
identifying whether a first active downlink bandwidth part (BWP) identifier (ID) for the SCell is set to a dormant BWP;
in case that the first active downlink BWP ID for the SCell is not set to the dormant BWP, activating the SCell; and
in case that the first active downlink BWP ID for the SCell is set to the dormant BWP, stopping a BWP inactive timer.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in case that an active downlink BWP is not the dormant BWP, initializing at least one suspended configured uplink grant of a configured grant Type 1 associated with the SCell.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
in case that the active downlink BWP is not the dormant BWP, triggering a power headroom report (PHR).
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the activating of the SCell comprises:
applying at least one normal SCell operation.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the at least one normal SCell operation comprises:
sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions on the SCell,
a channel state information (CSI) reporting for the SCell,
a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring on the SCell,
the PDCCH monitoring for the SCell, and
physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions on the SCell if configured.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first active downlink BWP ID for the SCell is set to the dormant BWP, or not set to the dormant BWP based on a radio resource control (RRC) message.
7 . A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
control the transceiver to receive, via the transceiver, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) associated with a secondary cell (SCell) activation, identify whether the SCell was deactivated prior to receiving the MAC CE,
in case that the SCell was deactivated prior to receiving the MAC CE:
identify whether a first active downlink bandwidth part (BWP) identifier (ID) for the SCell is set to a dormant BWP,
in case that the first active downlink BWP ID for the SCell is not set to the dormant BWP, activate the SCell, and
in case that the SCell was deactivated prior to receiving the MAC CE and the first active downlink BWP ID for the SCell is set to the dormant BWP, stop a BWP inactive timer.
8 . The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
in case that an active downlink BWP is not the dormant BWP, initialize at least one suspended configured uplink grant of a configured grant Type 1 associated with the SCell.
9 . The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
in case that the active downlink BWP is not the dormant BWP, trigger a power headroom report (PHR).
10 . The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
apply at least one normal SCell operation.
11 . The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to perform:
sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions on the SCell,
a channel state information (CSI) reporting for the SCell,
a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring on the SCell,
the PDCCH monitoring for the SCell, and
physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions on the SCell if configured.
12 . The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the first active downlink BWP ID for the SCell is set to the dormant BWP, or not set to the dormant BWP based on a radio resource control (RRC) message.
