Abstract

A method of reporting information on a UE state performed by UE in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes: generating information on a UE state; transmitting the information on the UE state to a network; obtaining, from the network, configuration information generated based on the information on the UE state; and operating based on the configuration information. The information on the UE state includes at least one of UE activity specifying a frequency at which a UE communicates with the network, and an activity state of the UE determined based on the UE activity.

Claims (33)

1. A method of transmitting information on a user equipment (UE) state in a wireless communication system, the method performed by UE and comprising:

generating information on a UE state;

transmitting, to a network, the information on the UE state, wherein the information on the UE state includes activity of the UE specifying a frequency at which the UE communicates with the network;

obtaining, from the network, configuration information in response to the information on the UE state; and

operating based on the configuration information,

wherein the activity of the UE is determined based on a continuation time during which the UE operates in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state immediately before operating in a RRC connection state, and

wherein the activity of the UE is determined based on at least one of an average RRC idle state continuation time and an average RRC connection state continuation time with respect to a specific number of RRC connection states.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity of the UE is determined based on a number of transitions of a RRC state by the UE during at least one sub-frame.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity of the UE is determined based on a number of active sub-frames for communication of the UE during a specific time interval.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity of the UE is determined based on a rate of at least one active sub-frame for communication of the UE with respect to a number of latest specific sub-frames.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity of the UE is determined based on whether traffic activated in the UE is delay sensitive traffic.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity of the UE is determined based on a latest data transmission and reception generation time point of the UE.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information comprises a parameter associated with a RRC state, and wherein the parameter is configured according to at least one of the activity state of the UE and the activity of the UE so that the UE is maintained in the RRC connection state or the RRC idle state.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein operating based on the configuration information comprises establishing a RRC connection with the network using the parameter.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information comprises a discontinuous reception (DRX) parameter, and

the DRX parameter is configured so that a control channel monitoring time of the UE is controlled according to at least one of the activation state of the UE and the activity of the UE.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein operating based on the configuration information comprises:

monitoring a downlink control channel according to the control channel monitoring time of the UE which is specified according to the DRX parameter; and

performing data transmission/reception with the network according to scheduling information acquired through the downlink control channel.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a UE state information usable indicator indicating that there is information on the UE state to be reported; and

receiving a UE state information report request from the network,

wherein the information on the UE state is transmitted as a response to the UE state information report request.

12. A user equipment (UE) comprises:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit that sends and receives radio signals; and

a processor functionally coupled to the RF unit that:

generates information on a UE state;

controls the RF unit to transmit, to a network, the information on the UE state, wherein the information on the UE state includes activity of the UE specifying a frequency at which the UE communicates with the network;

obtains, from the network, configuration information in response to the information on the UE state; and

operates based on the configuration information,

wherein the activity of the UE is determined based on a continuation time during which the UE operates in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state immediately before operating in a RRC connection state, and

wherein the activity of the UE is determined based on at least one of an average RRC idle state continuation time and an average RRC connection state continuation time with respect to a specific number of RRC connection states.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information on the UE state further includes an activity state of the UE determined based on the UE activity.
