Definitions

the present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method for reporting system information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system and an apparatus for supporting the same.

LTE long term evolution

a closed subscriber group allows a limited access for only a specific subscriber to be introduced to provide a service having higher quality.
a base station that can provide a CSG service may be home eNodeB (HNB) and a cell providing an authorized service to CSG subscribers may be a CSG cell.
HNB home eNodeB
a basic requirement of the CSG is disclosed in 3GPP TS 22.220 V1.0.1 (2008-12) “Service requirements for Home NodeBs and Home eNodeBs (Release 9)”.
a feature of a CSG cell limitatively providing the service is illustrated even in handover to the CSG cell.
a user equipment UE
the handover to the CSG cell may be implemented by a first step in which the UE reports a cell measurement result and a second step in which the UE acquires system information from a target cell and reports the acquired system information to a service cell.
a UE When a UE receives a message indicating that system information of a neighboring cell will be reported from a serving cell, the UE acquires the system information by accessing the neighboring cell. The acquired system information is transmitted to the serving cell. While the UE accesses the neighboring cell in order to acquire the system information, the serving cell cannot transmit any command/message/data to the UE.
the UE may acquire system information regarding the neighboring cell in advance before being instructed with reporting the system information from the serving cell. Even in such a case, the UE may perform accessing the neighboring cell by leaving the serving cell in order to newly acquire the system information regarding the neighboring cell as an unnecessary step in some cases. Therefore, a more efficient system information reporting method of the UE is required.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for reporting performed by a in a wireless communication system and an apparatus for supporting the same.
a method for reporting system information by a UE in a wireless communication system includes receiving a system information reporting request of a neighboring cell from a serving cell, determining whether to report to the serving cell system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance, and reporting to the serving cell the system information of the neighboring acquired in advance when it is determined to report.
the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance is system information of the neighboring cell which is acquired before receiving the system information reporting request.
the step of determining whether to report the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance may include determining to report to the serving cell the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance, when the UE has the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance.
the method may further include transmitting to the serving cell control information regarding the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance together with the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance.
the control information may include an indicator indicating that the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance is the system information of the neighboring cell acquired before receiving a system information reporting request message.
the control information may further include an indicator indicating the time when the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance is acquired.
the method may further include receiving from the serving cell a ready-acquired system information report indicator indicating whether reporting the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance is allowed.
the step of determining whether to report to the serving cell the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance may include determining to report to the serving cell the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance, if the ready-acquired system information report indicator indicates that the reporting the system information is allowed and the UE has the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance.
the method may further include transmitting to the serving cell control information regarding the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance together with the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance.
the control information may further include an indicator indicating the time when the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance is acquired.
the method may further include, when it is determined not to report the system information, acquiring the system information from the neighboring cell and transmitting the acquired system information to the serving cell.
a UE that operates in a wireless communication system.
the UE include a radio frequency (RF) unit transmitting or receiving a radio signal and a processor operably coupled to the RF unit.
the processor is configured for receiving a system information reporting request of a neighboring cell from a serving cell, determining whether to report to the serving cell system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance, and reporting to the serving cell the system information of the neighboring acquired in advance when it is determined to report.
the system information of the neighboring cell acquired in advance is system information of the neighboring cell which is acquired before receiving the system information reporting request.
a time used for a UE to report system information of a neighboring cell to a serving cell can be decreased. Therefore, a handover delay of a handover procedure requiring system information of a target cell can be decreased. Further, a procedure in which the UE unnecessarily receives the system information of the neighboring cell is skipped, and as a result, a time when the serving cell loses controllability of the UE can be decreased. Therefore, mobility increased by the UE can be more efficiently supported and efficiency of traffic processing between the UE and a cell can be increased, thereby improving processing rate of an entire system.

the UE When an RRC connection is established between the RRC layer of the UE and the RRC layer of the E-UTRAN, the UE is in an RRC connected state and if not, the UE is in an RRC idle state.
a downlink transport channel for transmitting data from the network to the UE includes a broadcast channel (BCH) for transmitting system information and besides, the downlink transport channel includes a downlink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or a control message. Traffic or a control message of a downlink multicast or broadcast service may be transported through the downlink SCH or transported through an additional downlink multicast channel (MCH).

a transmission time interval (TTI) is a unit time of transmitting the sub-frame.
the RRC state represents whether the RRC layer of the UE is logically connected with the RRC layer of the E-UTRAN and a case in which both RRC layers are logically connected to each other is called the RRC connection state and a case in which both RRC layers are not logically connected to each other is called the RRC idle state. Since the RRC connection exists in the UE in the RRC connection state, the E-UTRAN may determine the existence of the corresponding UE by the unit of a cell to thereby effectively control the UE. On the contrary, the E-UTRAN may not determine the UE in the RRC idle state and a core network (CN) is managed by the unit of a tracking area which a region unit larger than the cell. That is, it is determined whether the UE in the RRC idle state exists by the unit of a large region, and the UE needs to move to the RRC connection state in order to receive a general mobile communication service such as voice or data.
CN core network
the UE When a user first turns on a power supply of the UE, the UE first retrieves an appropriate and thereafter, the UE stays in the RRC idle state in the corresponding cell.
the UE in the RRC idle state establishes the RRC connection with the E-UTRAN through an RRC connection procedure at least when the UE in the RRC idle state needs to make the RRC connection, and is transited to the RRC connections state.
Cases in which the UE in the RRC idle state needs to make the RRC connection are various, and for example, uplink data transmission is required due to a user's call attempt or when a paging message is received from the E-UTRAN, the cases may include response message transmission thereto.
a non-access stratum layer located above the RRC layer performs functions such as session management and mobility management.
EMM-REGISTERED In order to manage mobility of the UE on the NAS layer, two states of EPS mobility management (EMM)-REGISTERED and EMM-DEREGISTERED are defined and both states are applied to the UE and the MME.
An initial UE is in the EMM-DEREGISTERED state and the UE performs a process of registering the initial UE in a corresponding network through an initial attach procedure in order to access the network.
the attach procedure is successfully performed, the UE and the MME are in the EMM-REGISTERED state.
ECM EPS connection management
ECM-CONNECTED EPS connection management
both states are applied to the UE and the MME.
ECM-IDLE state makes the RRC connection with the E-UTRAN
the corresponding UE is in the ECM-CONNECTED state.
the MME in the ECM-IDLE state makes an S1 connection with the E-UTRAN
the MME is in the ECM-CONNECTED state.
the E-UTRAN does not have context information of the UE.
the UE in the ECM-IDLE state performs a UE based mobility associated procedure such as cell selection or cell reselection without the need for receiving a command of the network.
the mobility of the UE is managed by the command of the network.
the UE notifies a corresponding position of the UE to the network through a tracking area update procedure.
the system information includes required information which the UE needs to know to access the base station. Therefore, the UE needs to receive all of the system information before accessing the base station and further, the UE continuously needs to have latest system information. In addition, since the system information is information which all UEs in one cell need to know, the base station periodically transmits the system information.
the system information is divided in to a master information block (MIB), a scheduling block (SB), and a system information block (SIB).
MIB allows the UE to know a physical component, for example, a bandwidth.
the SB allows the UE to know transmission information of the SIBs, for example, a transmission period, and the like.
the SIB is an aggregate of associated system information. For example, any SIB includes only information on a neighboring cell and any SIB includes only information on a uplink wireless channel used by the UE.
a service which the network provides to the UE may be divided into three types. Further, the UE differently recognizes even a type of the cell by considering which service the UE receives.
the service type will be first described below and thereafter, the type of the cell will be described.
the service may provide an emergency call and an earthquake and Tsunami warning system (ETWS), and provide the emergency call and the earthquake and Tsunami warning system (ETWS) in an acceptable cell.
EWS earthquake and Tsunami warning system
Normal service The service may mean a public use general service and may provide the public use general service in a suitable or normal cell.
the service may mean a service for a communication network operator and only the communication network operator may use the cell and a general user may not use the cell.
the type of the cell may be divided as below in association with the service type provided by the cell.
Acceptable cell Cell where the UE may receive the limited service.
the cell is a cell that is not barred in terms of the corresponding UE and satisfies a cell selection criterion of the UE.
Suitable cell Cell where the UE may receive the suitable service.
the cell satisfies a condition of the acceptable cell and simultaneously, satisfies additional conditions.
additional conditions the cell needs to belong to a public land mobile network (PLMN) which the corresponding UE may access and needs to be a cell where execution of the tracking area update procedure of the UE is not barred.
PLMN public land mobile network
the corresponding cell is the CSG cell
the corresponding cell needs to be a cell where the UE may access the cell as a CSG member.
Barred cell The cell is a cell where information indicating that the corresponding cell is a cell barred through the system information is broadcasted.
the cell is a cell where information indicating that the corresponding cell is a cell reserved through the system information is broadcasted.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a UE in an RRC idle state.
FIG. 4 illustrates a procedure of registering a UE of which initial power is turned on in the network through a cell selection process and thereafter, cell reselection is performed as necessary.
the UE selects radio access technology (RAT) for communicating with the public land mobile network from which the UE itself intends to receive the service (S 410 ).
RAT radio access technology
Information on the PLMN and the RAT may be selected by a user of the UE and the information stored in a universal subscriber identity module (USIM) may be used.
USIM universal subscriber identity module
the UE selects a cell having a largest value among cell having measured larger signal intensity or quality than specific values (cell selection) (S 420 ).
cell selection The UE of which power is turned on performs the cell selection and the execution of the cell selection may be called initial cell selection.
a cell selection procedure will be described below in detail.
the UE receives the system information which the base station periodically sends.
the aforementioned specific value represents a value defined in the system in order to receive an assurance for quality of a physical signal in transmitting/receiving data. Therefore, the value may vary depending on the applied RAT.
the UE When network registration is required, the UE performs a network registration procedure (S 430 ).
the UE registers its own information (e.g., IMSI) in order to receive a service (e.g., paging)n from the network.
the UE does not register the information in the accessed network whenever selecting the cell, and registers the information when information (e.g., a tracking area identity (TAI) of the network that receives from the system information) is different from information on a network known by the UE).
IMSI information management system
TAI tracking area identity
the UE performs the cell reselection based on a service environment provided by the cell or an environment of the UE (S 440 ).
a value of measured intensity or quality of the signal from a base station from which the UE receives the service is smaller than a value measured from a base station of a neighboring cell
the UE selects one of other cells that provide a more excellent signal feature than the cell of the base station accessed by the UE.
This process is distinguished from the initial cell selection as Process No. 2 to be cell re-selection. In this case, a temporal constraint is given in order to prevent the cell from being frequently reselected with the variation of the signal feature.
a cell selection procedure will be described below in detail.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of establishing an RRC connection.
the UE sends to the network an RRC connection request message for requesting the RRC connection (S 510 ).
the network sends an RRC connection setup message as a response to the RRC connection request (S 520 ).
the UE enters an RRC connection mode after receiving the RRC connection setup message.
the UE sends to the network an RRC connection setup complete message used to verify successful completion of establishing the RRC connection (S 530 ).
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of reconfiguring the RRC connection.
the RRC connection reconfiguration is used to modify the RRC connection.
the RRC connection reconfiguration is used for perform RB establishment/modification/release, handover, and measurement setup/modification/release.
the network sends to the UE an RRC connection setup message for modifying the RRC connection (S 610 ).
the UE sends to the network an RRC connection reconfiguration complete message used to verify successful completion of establishing the RRC connection reconfiguration as a response to the RRC connection reconfiguration (S 620 ).
the UE performs continuously performs measurement for the quality of a radio link with the serving cell that receives the service.
the UE decides whether communication is impossible under a current situation due to deterioration in quality of the radio link with the serving cell.
the UE decides the current situation as a wireless connection failure.
the UE When a radio link failure is decided, the UE abandons maintaining communication with a current serving cell, selects a new cell through the cell selection (alternatively, cell reselection) procedure, and attempts RRC connection re-establishment to a new cell.
cell selection alternatively, cell reselection
FIG. 7 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a radio link failure. An operation associated with the radio link failure may be described as two phases.
the UE In a first phase, the UE is in a normal operation and checks whether there is a problem in a current communication link. When the problem is detected, the UE declares a radio link problem and waits for recovery of the radio link for a first stand-by time T 1 . When the radio link is recovered until the first stand-by time elapses, the UE performs the normal operation again. When the radio link is not recovered until the first stand-by time is expired, the UE declares the radio link failure and the UE enters a second phase.
the UE waits for recovering the radio link for the second stand-by time T 2 .
the UE enters the RRC idle state.
the UE may perform the RRC re-establishment procedure.
the RRC connection re-establishment procedure is a procedure of re-establishing the RRC connection again in the RRC_CONNECTED state. Since the UE stays in the RRC_CONNECTED state, that is, since the UE does not enter the RRC_IDLE state, the UE does not initialize all of radio configurations (e.g., radio bearer configurations) thereof. Instead, when the UE starts the RRC connection reconfiguration procedure, the UE temporarily suspends using all of the radio bearers except for SRB0. When the RRC connection reconfiguration is succeeded, the UE resumes using the radio bearers of which the use is temporarily suspended.
radio configurations e.g., radio bearer configurations
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a success in a process of reestablishing a connection.
the UE selects a cell by performing the cell selection.
the UE receives the system information in order to receive basic parameters for accessing the cell in the selected cell.
the UE sends to the base station the RRC connection reestablishment request message (S 810 ).
the base station When the selected cell is a cell having a context of the UE, that is, a prepared cell, the base station permits the RRC connection reestablishment request of the UE and sends to the UE the RRC connection reestablishment message (S 820 ). The UE sends to the base station the RRC connection reestablishment complete message to succeed in the RRC connection re-establishment procedure (S 830 ).
FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a failure in the process of reestablishing the connection.
the UE sends to the base station the RRC connection reestablishment request message (S 810 ).
the base station sends an RRC connection re-establishment reject message to the UE as a response to the RRC connection reestablishment request (S 815 ).
the UE When the power of the UE is turned on or the UE stays in the cell, the UE performs procedures for receiving the service by selecting/reselecting a cell having appropriate quality.
the UE in the RRC idle state needs to prepare for receiving the service through the cell by continuously selecting the cell having the appropriate quality. For example, the UE of which the power is just turned on needs to select the cell having the appropriate quality for registration in the network.
the UE in the RRC connection state enters the RRC idle state, the UE needs to select a cell to stay in the RRC idle state.
the cell selection a process in which the UE selects a cell that satisfies a predetermined condition in order to stay in a service stand-by state such as the RRC idle state. Since the UE performs the cell selection while the cell in the RRC idle state may not be decided at present, it is important to select the cell rapidly as possible. Therefore, in the case of a cell that provides radio signal quality having a predetermined reference or more, even though the cell is not a cell that provides the best radio signal quality for the UE, the cell may be selected in the cell selection process by the UE.
the UE retrieves the public land mobile network (PLMN) and selects an appropriate PLMN capable of receiving the service.
PLMN is a network that is deployed or operated by a mobile network operator. Each mobile network operator operates one or more PLMNs.
the respective PLMNs may be identified by a mobile country code (MCC) and a mobile network code (MNC).
MCC mobile country code
MNC mobile network code
PLMN information of the cell is included in the system information and broadcasted.
the UE attempts to register the selected PLMN. When the registration is succeeded, the selected PLMN becomes a registered PLMN (RPLMN).
MCC mobile country code
MNC mobile network code
the network may signal a PLMN list to the UE and the PLMNs included in the PLMN list may be considered as the PLMN such as the RPLMN.
the UE registered in the network needs to be reachable by the network.
the network recognizes that the UE receives the service).
the UE is in the ECM-IDLE state (similarly, the RRC idle state)
the position of the UE which is in the ECM-IDLE state is known to only the MME as granularity of a list of tracking areas (TAs).
a single TA is identified by a tracking area identity configured by the PLMN identity to which the TA belongs and the tracking area code (TAC) uniquely expressing the TA in the PLMN.
TAC tracking area code
the UE selects a cell having signal quality and feature to receive an appropriate service among cells provided by the selected PLMN.
the cell selection process is generally divided into two types.
the UE has no advance information on the radio channel during this process. Therefore, the UE retrieves all radio channels in order to find the appropriate cell. The UE finds the strongest cell in each channel. Thereafter, the UE selects the corresponding cell only at the time of finding the suitable cell that satisfies the cell selection criterion.
the UE may select the cell by using stored information or using information broadcasted in the cell. Therefore, the cell selection may be rapidly performed as compared with the initial cell selection process.
the UE only finds the cell that satisfies the cell selection criterion, the UE selects the corresponding cell.
the UE does not find the suitable cell that satisfies the cell selection criterion through such a process, the UE performs the initial cell selection process.
the UE After the UE selects a predetermined cell through the cell selection process, the strength or quality of the signal between the UE and the base station may be changed due to the mobility of the UE or a change of a wireless environment. Therefore, when the quality of the selected cell deteriorates, the UE may select another that provides higher quality. When the cell is again selected as such, a cell that provides higher signal quality than the currently selected cell is generally selected.
the process is referred to as the cell reselection.
the cell reselection process generally has a basic object o select the cell having the highest quality to the UE.
the network decides a priority for each frequency to notify the priority to the UE.
the UE that receives the priority preferentially considers the priority to a radio signal quality criterion during the cell reselection process.
the UE measures the qualities of the serving cell and the neighboring cell for the cell reselection.
the reselection is performed based on the cell reselection criterion.
the cell reselection criterion has features described below in association with the measurement of the serving cell and the neighboring cell.
the intra-frequency cell reselection is basically based on ranking.
the ranking defines an index value for evaluating the cell reselection and the cells are ordered in the order of the index value by using the index value.
a cell having the best index is generally called a best ranked cell.
the cell index value is based on a value which the UE measures for the corresponding cell and is applied with a frequency offset or a cell offset as necessary.
the inter-frequency cell reselection is based on a frequency priority provided by the network.
the UE attempts to camp on a frequency having the highest frequency priority.
the network may provide the frequency priority to which in-cell UEs will commonly apply through broadcast signaling or provide a frequency-dedicated priority for each UE through UE-dedicated signaling.
the network may provide a parameter (e.g., a frequency-specific offset) used for the cell reselection to the UE for the inter-frequency cell reselection for each frequency.
a parameter e.g., a frequency-specific offset
the network may provide a neighboring cell list (NCL) used for the cell reselection to the UE for the intra-frequency cell reselection or the inter-frequency cell reselection.
NCL includes a cell-specific parameter (e.g., cell-specific offset) used in the cell reselection.
the network may provide a cell reselection black list used for the cell reselection to the UE for the intra-frequency cell reselection or the inter-frequency cell reselection.
the UE does not perform the cell reselection for a cell included in the black list.
a ranking criterion used to give the priority of the cell is defined as illustrated in Equation 1.
Rs represents a ranking criterion of the serving cell
Rn represents a ranking criterion of the neighboring cell
Qmeas,s represents a quality value which the UE measures for the serving cell
Qmeas,n represents a quality value which the UE measures for a neighboring cell
Qhyst represents a hysteresis value for the ranking
Qoffset represents an offset between two cells.
the UE may alternatively reselect both cells.
Qhyst represents a parameter for preventing the UE from alternatively reselecting both cells by giving hysteresis in cell reselection.
the UE measures the Rs of the serving cell and the Rn of the neighboring cell according to the above equation and regards a cell having the largest ranking criterion value as the best ranked cell and reselects this cell.
the quality of the cell acts as the most important criterion in the cell reselection. If the reselected cell is not the suitable cell, the UE excludes the corresponding frequency or the corresponding cell from a cell reselection target.
the UE continuously measures a quality for a serving cell that provides the service at present and a quality for a neighboring cell.
the UE reports a measurement result to the network at an appropriate time and the network provides optimal mobility to the UE through handover.
a measurement for the object is often called a radio resource management (RPM) measurement.
RPM radio resource management
the UE may perform a measurement having a specific object set by the network and report a result of the measurement to the network in order to provide information that may help an operator to operate the network in addition to the object of supporting the mobility. For example, the UE receives broadcast information of a specific cell decided by the network. The UE may report a cell identity (also referred to as a global cell identity) of the specific cell, identification information (for example, tracking area code) to which the specific cell belongs, and/or other cell information (for example, whether the specific cell is a member of the closed subscriber group (CSG) cell) to the serving cell.
a cell identity also referred to as a global cell identity
identification information for example, tracking area code
other cell information for example, whether the specific cell is a member of the closed subscriber group (CSG) cell
positional information on cells having a bad quality and a measurement result may be reported to the network.
the network may attempt optimization of the network based on reporting of measurement results of UEs that help operating the network.
the UE may well measure the qualities and cell information of the neighboring cells having the same center-frequency as the serving cell.
a measurement for a cell having the same center-frequency as the serving cell as such is called an intra-frequency measurement.
the UE reports a measurement result to the network at an appropriate time by performing the intra-frequency measurement to achieve an object of the corresponding measurement result.
the mobile communication operator may operate the network by using a plurality of frequency bands.
the UE needs to be able to measure the qualities and cell information of the neighboring cells having a different center-frequency from the serving cell for assuring the optimized mobility for the UE.
a measurement for a cell having the different center-frequency as the serving cell as such is called an inter-frequency measurement.
the UE needs to be able to report a measurement result to the network at an appropriate time by performing the inter-frequency measurement.
the UE may perform a measurement for cells of the heterogeneous networks by a base station configuration.
the measurement for the heterogeneous networks is called an inter-radio access technology (RAT) measurement.
the RAT may include a UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) and a GSM edge radio access network (GERAN) that follows a 3GPP standard specification, and may include even a CDMA 2000 system that follows a 3GPP2 standard specification.
UTRAN UMTS terrestrial radio access network

the measurement identity information is included in the measurement report message, and as a result, it can be seen that for which measurement object the measurement result is and under which reporting condition the measurement report occurs.
Quantity configuration information Represents information on a parameter for configuring filtering a measurement unit, a report unit, and/or a measurement result value.
Measurement gap information Represents information on a measurement gap which is an interval which the UE may use for only a measurement without considering data transmission with the serving cell because downlink transmission or uplink transmission is not scheduled.
the UE has a measurement object list, a measurement report configuration list, and a measurement identity list in order to perform a measurement procedure.
the base station may configure only one measurement object for one frequency band to the UE.
E-UTRA Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access

Protocol specification Release 8
the UE When the measurement result by the UE satisfies the configured event, the UE transmits the measurement report message to the base station.
FIG. 11 illustrates one example of a measurement configuration configured for the UE.
a measurement identity 1 1101 connects an intra-frequency measurement object and a report configuration 1 to each other.
the UE performs an intra frequency measurement and the report configuration 1 is used to decide a criterion and a type of reporting a measurement result.
a measurement identity 2 1102 is connected with the intra-frequency measurement object similarly as the measurement identity 1 1101 , but connects the intra-frequency measurement object to a report configuration 2.
the UE performs the intra frequency measurement and the report configuration 2 is used to decide the criterion and the type of reporting the measurement result.
the UE transmits the measurement result even though the measurement result for the intra-frequency measurement object satisfies any one of the report configuration 1 and the report configuration 2, by the measurement identity 1 1101 and the measurement identity 2 1102 .
a measurement identity 3 1103 connects an inter-frequency measurement object 1 and a report configuration 3 to each other.
the UE reports the measurement result.
a measurement identity 4 1104 connects an inter-frequency measurement object 2 and the report configuration 2 to each other.
the UE reports the measurement result.
the measurement object, the report configuration, and/or the measurement identity may be added, changed, and/or deleted.
the addition, the change, and/or the deletion may be instructed by sending a new measurement configuration message or sending a measurement configuration change message to the UE.
FIG. 12 illustrates an example of deleting a measurement identity.
a measurement for a measurement object associated with the measurement identity 2 1202 is stopped and a measurement report is not also transmitted.
the measurement object or the report configuration associated with the deleted measurement identity may not be changed.
FIG. 13 illustrates an example of deleting a measurement object.
the UE When the inter-frequency measurement object 1 is deleted, the UE also deletes the associated measurement identity 3 1303 . The measurement for the inter-frequency measurement object 1 is stopped and the measurement report is not also transmitted. However, the report configuration associated with the deleted first inter-frequency measurement object may not be changed or deleted.
the UE When the report configuration is removed, the UE removes even the associated measurement identity. The UE stops measuring the associated measurement object by the associated measurement identity. However, the measurement object associated with the deleted report configuration may not be changed or deleted.
the measurement report may include the measurement identity, a measured quality of the serving cell, and a measurement result of the neighboring cell.
the measurement identity identifies a measurement object in which the measurement report is triggered.
the measurement result of the neighboring cell may include a cell identity and a measured quality of the neighboring cell.
the measured quality may include at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP) and reference signal received quality (RSRQ).
H(e)NB will be described.
the mobile communication service may be provided through a person, a specific operator, or a base station possessed by a group in addition to the mobile communication network operator.
the base station is called Home NB (HNB) or Home eNB (HeNB).
HNB Home NB
HeNB Home eNB
both the HNB and HeNB are collectively the HeNB.
the HeNB aims at basically providing a service specialized to only a closed subscriber group (CSG). However, the service may be provided to users other than the CSG according to a configuration of an operating mode of the HeNB.
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating one example of a wireless communication system illustrating an HeNB operation.
a Home eNB gateway may be operated in order to service the HeNB as such.
the HeNBs is connected to the EPC through the HeNB GW or connected directly to the EPC.
the HeNB GW is seen as a general eNB for the MME.
the HeNB GW is seen as the MME for the HeNB. Therefore, the HeNB and the HeNB GW are connected to each other through an S1 interface and the HeNB GW and the EPC are also connected to each other through the S1 interface. Further, even when the HeNB and the EPC are directly connected to each other, the HeNB and the EPC are connected to each other through the S1 interface. Most functions of the HeNB are similar to those of a general eNB.
the HeNB is lower than an eNB possessed by the mobile communication operator in radio transmission output. Therefore, service coverage provided by the HeNB is generally smaller than that provided by the eNB. Due to such a feature, a cell provided by the HeNB is often classified as a femto cell as compared with a macro cell provided by the eNB in terms of the service coverage. Meanwhile, in terms of the provided service, when the HeNB provides the service to only the CSG, the cell provided by the HeNB is called a CSG cell.
Each CSG has its own unique identification number and the identification number is called a CSG identity (ID).
ID The UE may have a list of the CSG to which the UE belongs as a member and the CSG list may be changed by a request from the UE or a command of the network.
one HeNB may support one CSG.
the HeNB transfers a CSG ID of a CSG supported thereby through the system information to be accessed by only the member UE of the corresponding CSG.
the UE may verify which CSG the CSG cell supports by reading the CSG ID included in the system information.
the UE that reads the CSG ID regards the corresponding cell as a cell capable of access only when the UE itself is a member of the corresponding CSG cell.
the HeNB need not permit only the CSG UE to access itself.
the HeNB may also permit a UE which is not the CSG member to access itself according to a configuration of the HeNB. Which UE the HeNB permits to access itself depends on the configuration of the HeNB and herein, the configuration means a configuration of an operating mode of the HeNB.
the operating mode of the HeNB is divided into three types described below by considering which UE the HeNB provides the service to.
Closed access mode Represents a mode to provide the service to a specific CSG member.
the HeNB provides the CSG cell.
Open access mode Represents a mode to provide the service without a limitation of the specific CSG member like a general eNB.
the HeNB provides not the CSG cell but the general cell.
Hybrid access mode Represents a mode to provide a CSG service to the specific CSG member and provide the service to even a non-CSG member like the general cell. Recognized as the CSG cell by the CSG member UE and recognized as the general cell by the non-CSG member UE. Such a cell is called a hybrid cell.
the HeNB notifies whether a cell serviced thereby is the CSG cell or the general cell to the UE to allow the UE to know whether the UE may access the corresponding cell.
the HeNB operated in the closed access mode broadcasts that the HeNB itself is the CSG cell through the system information.
the HeNB operated in the open access mode broadcasts that the HeNB itself is not the CSG cell through the system information.
the HeNB encapsulates a 1-bit CSG indicator indicating whether the cell serviced thereby is the CSG cell in the system information. For example, the HeNB broadcasts that the serviced cell is the CSG cell by setting the CSG indicator as TRUE.
the CSG indicator may be set as FALSE or a method that skips transmitting the CSG indicator may be used. Since the UE needs to be able to distinguish the general cell provided by the eNB from the CSG cell, the general eNB also transmit the CSG indicator to allow the UE to know that the cell type provided thereby is the general cell. The general eNB does not transmit the CSG indicator to allow the UE to know that the cell type provided thereby is the general cell.
Table 2 illustrates a CSG associated parameter transmitted in a corresponding cell for each cell type. Subsequently, Table 3 illustrates a type of a UE that permits the access for each cell type.
inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) will be described.
the ICIC is a task that operates a radio resource so that a control of inter-cell interference is maintained.
An ICIC mechanism may be divided into frequency-domain ICIC and time-domain ICIC.
the ICIC has a multi-cell radio resource management (RRM) function to require considering information from multiple cells.
RRM radio resource management
An interfering cell is a cell that provides interference.
the interfering cell is also referred as an aggressor cell.
An interfered cell is a cell that is interfered by the interfering cell.
the interfered cell is also referred to as a victim cell.
the frequency-domain ICIC coordinates the use of a frequency-domain resource (e.g., a resource block (RB)) among the multiple cells.
a frequency-domain resource e.g., a resource block (RB)
the time-domain ICIC coordinates a time-domain resource (e.g., a subframe) among the multiple cells.
An operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) configuration called an almost blank subframe (ABS) pattern may be used for the time-domain ICIC.
An ABS in the interfering cell is used to protect a resource in the subframe in the interfered cell that receives interference among strong cells.
the ABS is a subframe that has reduced transmission power (alternatively, zero transmission power) on the physical channel or has reduced activity.
a pattern based on the ABS is notified to the UE and restricts a UE measurement. This restriction is referred to as a measurement resource restriction.
the ABS pattern represents information indicating which subframe is the ABS in one or more radio frames.
a measured cell e.g., a serving cell or a neighbor cell
measurement types e.g., a radio resource management (RRM), a radio link measurement (RLM), and channel state information (CSI)
ABS pattern 1 is used in an RRM/RLM measurement resource restriction of the serving cell.
the base station may notify information on ABS pattern 1 to the UE in configuration/modification/release of the RB or when MAC/PHY configuration is modified.
ABS pattern 2 is used in an RRM measurement resource restriction of the neighbor cell that operates at the same frequency as the serving cell. Therefore, a list of neighbor cells to be measured in addition to information on ABS pattern 2 may be provided to the UE. ABS pattern 2 may be included in a measurement configuration for a measurement object.
ABS pattern 3 is used in a resource restriction for a CSI measurement of the serving cell. ABS pattern 3 may be included in a message for configuring a CSI report.
FIG. 15 exemplifies a CSG scenario.
the CSG cell represents a cell accessible by only a specific subscriber.
the non-member UE as a UE which is not the member of the CSG cell is UE that does not access the CSG cell.
the CSG cell which the UE may not access is referred to as the non-member CSG cell.
the macro cell represents the serving cell of the non-member UE. Coverage of the CSG cell and coverage of the macro cell are partially or fully duplicated with each other.
a primary interference condition occurs when the non-member UE is positioned in close proximity with the CSG cell.
the interfering cell becomes the CSG cell and the macro cell becomes the interfered cell.
the time-domain ICIC is used so as for the non-member UE to continuously receive the service in the macro cell.
the network may configure a measurement resource restriction. Further, in order to facilitate mobility from the macro cell, the network may configure an RRM measurement resource restriction for the neighbor cell. When the UE is not strongly interfered from the CSG cell any longer, the network may release the RRM/RLM/CSI measurement resource restriction.
the UE may use the measurement resource restrictions configured for the RRM, RLM, and CSI measurement. That is, a resource for the RLM may be used in the ABS, and the measurement for the RLM and the CSI measurement may be performed in the ABS.
the network may configure the CSG cell not to use a low-interference radio resource depending on the configured measurement resource restriction. That is, the CSG cell may not transmit or receive data in the ABS.
FIG. 16 exemplifies a pico scenario.
a pico cell is a serving cell of a pico UE.
the pico cell is a cell of which coverage is partially or fully duplicated with the coverage of the macro cell.
the pico cell may generally have smaller coverage than the macro cell, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto.
the primary interference condition occurs when the pico UE is positioned at an edge of the pico serving cell.
the interfering cell becomes the macro cell and the pico cell becomes the interfered cell.
the time-domain ICIC is used so as for the pico UE to continuously receive the service in the pico cell.
the pico cell may configure the measurement resource restriction for the corresponding UE.
the pico UE may use the measurement resource restrictions configured for the RRM, RLM, and CSI measurement. That is, the resource for the RLM may be used in the ABS, and the measurement for the RLM and the CSI measurement may be performed in the ABS. When the pico cell is strongly interfered from the macro cell, a more accurate measurement is possible in the case where the RRM/RLM/CSI measurement is performed in the ABS.
the UE in the macro cell as the serving cell performs the measurement for the neighbor cell in the ABS, mobility from the macro cell to the pico cell may be facilitated.
the UE performs the RRM measurement such as the reference signal received power (RSRP) and the reference signal received quality (RSRQ), a measurement of quality such as a channel quality indicator (CQI), and a path-loss measurement for the serving cell or the neighbor cell. Further, the UE may perform a measurement for radio link monitoring (RLM) for monitoring a connection with the serving cell.
RRM radio link monitoring
the interfering cell and the interfered cell are decided depending on an object which the UE intends to measure.
an intra-frequency neighbor cell having a high signal strength near the UE may act as interference in a measurement for the serving cell.
the UE may undergo strong interference by the neighbor cell in the measurement for the serving cell.
serving cell and other intra-frequency neighbor cell signals may act as the interference for the measurement of the intra-frequency neighbor cell.
the UE may undergo strong interference by the serving cell and other neighbor cells of a serving frequency in the measurement of the neighbor cell.
the interfered UE may perform a limited measurement based on the measurement resource restriction.
the serving cell may provide the service the UE through scheduling primarily using a low-interference radio resource in spite of the interference by the neighbor cell.
a multimedia broadcast/multicast service is a service to provide multimedia data to the UE in the cell.
An MCH channel which is a transmission channel for the MBMS may be mapped to the MCCH or the MTCH which is the logical channel.
the MCCH transmits an RRC message associated with the MBMS and the MTCH transmits traffic of a specific MBMS.
a plurality of MCHs may be used according to capacities of the MTCH and the MCCH in one cell.
the MCH is in charge of transmitting two logical channels of the MTCH and the MCCH, and is again mapped to a physical multicast channel (PMCH) which is the physical channel.
PMCH physical multicast channel
One MCCH is present in one MBMS single frequency network (MBSFN) region transmitting the same MBMS information/traffic, and when a plurality of MBSFN regions are provided in one cell, the UE may receive a plurality of MCCHs.
M_RNTI MBMS radio network temporary identity
a UE that supports the MBMS receives the M-RNTI and the MCCH indicator through the PDCCH to determine that the MBMS associated RRC message is changed in the specific MCCH and receive the specific MCCH.
the RRC message of the MCCH may be changed every change cycle and is repeatedly broadcasted every repetition cycle.
the existing wireless network may calculate the number of UEs that receives a specific service through a counting procedure.
the counting procedure is configured in such a manner that the UE transmits an uplink counting response message when the wireless network transmits a downlink counting request message.
a UE When a UE receives a request for reporting system information of a neighboring cell from a serving cell, the UE temporarily acquires the system information of the neighboring cell by accessing the neighboring cell by leaving the serving cell. Thereafter, the UE performs a procedure of reporting neighboring cell information to the serving cell by accessing the serving cell again. While the UE leaves the serving cell in order to acquire the system information, the UE corresponds to an unreachable object from the viewpoint of the serving cell, and as a result, the serving cell may not transfer even any command/message/data to the UE.
the serving cell requests system information of a handover target cell to the UE.
a long time may elapse until the UE receives the system information of the neighboring cell and reports the received system information to the serving cell.
a problem in which the handover is delayed may occur.
the UE may have already had system information of a corresponding neighboring cell before receiving a request for reporting the system information of the neighboring cell from the serving cell. If the system information of the neighboring cell is valid even when reporting the system information is requested, separately acquiring the system information by accessing the neighboring cell may be an unnecessary procedure. In this case, the UE may transmit the system information of the neighboring cell which the UE has already had to the serving cell, and as a result, an effect to rapidly perform the handover may be brought through rapid reporting of the system information.
the method for reporting system information will be described in more detail.
FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a UE that performs the method for reporting system information according to an embodiment of the present invention.
the UE receives a system information reporting request to request reporting the system information of the neighboring cell from the serving cell (S 1710 ).
the UE determines whether there is system information of the neighboring cell which is acquired in advance.
the procedure of determining whether there is the system information which is acquired in advance may include a step of determining whether the UE has the system information which is obtained in advance before receiving the request for reporting the system information and a step of determining whether the corresponding system information is valid when there is the system information of the neighboring cell which has already been obtained.
Whether the system information of the neighboring cell which is obtained in advance is valid may be determined depending on a time elapsed from the time when the system information is obtained. When the elapsed time is more than a specific value, it may be that the corresponding system information is not valid any longer.
the UE reports the corresponding system information to the serving cell when there is the system information regarding the neighboring cell acquired in advance, to be reported to the serving cell (S 1730 ).
the UE acquires the system information from the neighboring cell when there is no system information of the neighboring cell to be reported to the serving cell (S 1740 ).
the UE accesses the neighboring cell by temporally leaving the serving cell in order to acquire the system information of the neighboring cell.
the UE may acquire the system information of the neighboring cell through a broadcast channel by accessing the neighboring cell.
the UE reports the system information acquired by accessing the serving cell to the serving cell again (S 1750 ).
the UE receives a request for reporting the system information of the neighboring cell from the serving cell, and when the UE reports the system information which is acquired in advance before the request, the UE may transmit control information regarding the corresponding system information to the serving cell together with the system information reporting message.
the control information may include an indicator indicating that the corresponding system information is the system information which is acquired in advance before the reporting request and an indicator associated with an acquisition time.
FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating one example of a method for reporting system information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 18 , it is assumed that the UE has already had system information of neighboring cell A and does not have system information of neighboring cell B.
the UE receives a system information reporting request to request reporting the system information of neighboring cell A from the serving cell (S 1810 ).
the UE Since the UE has the system information of neighboring cell A, the UE reports the system information of neighboring cell A to the serving cell (S 1820 ). The UE may transmit to the serving cell both the system information of neighboring cell A and the control information regarding the system information.
the control information may include an indicator indicating that the corresponding system information is the system information acquired in advance before receiving the system information reporting request.
the control information may include an indicator indicating the time when the system information was acquired.
the UE receives a system information reporting request to request reporting the system information of neighboring cell B from the serving cell (S 1830 ).
the UE Since the UE does not have the system information of neighboring cell B, the UE acquires the system information by accessing neighboring cell B (S 1840 ).
the UE acquires the system information of neighboring cell B and thereafter, reports the acquired system information to the serving cell (S 1850 ). Since the system information of cell B is newly acquired after receiving the system information reporting request, the control information regarding the corresponding system information may not be transmitted together. On the contrary, the system information of cell B may be transmitted together with the control information, and in this case, the control information may include an indicator that the system information of cell B is the system information obtained after receiving the system information reporting request and/or an indicator indicating the time when the corresponding system information is acquired.
the UE may store system information of a specific neighboring cell for a specific time or more in order to perform the system information reporting method according to the embodiment of the present invention.
the UE may store the system information of the cell in order to report the system information of the cell afterwards.
the UE when the UE stores the system information for the purpose of reporting the system information, the UE may be allowed to store the system information for a time which is more than a valid time of general system information.
the serving cell may indicate to the UE whether system information is allowed to be transmitted when the corresponding system information obtained in advance regarding a specific neighboring cell exists. To this end, the serving cell may transmit to the UE a ready-acquired system information report indicator together with the system information reporting request. When the ready-acquired system information report indicator is used, the UE may report the system information to the serving cell based thereon. A method for reporting system information based on the ready-acquired system information report indicator will hereinafter be described in detail.
FIG. 19 illustrates an operating flowchart of a UE that performs the method for reporting system information according to an embodiment of the present invention.
the UE receives a system information reporting request to request reporting system information of a neighboring cell from the serving cell (S 1910 ).
the UE determines whether to report system information which is acquired in advance, based on the ready-acquired system information report indicator included in the system information reporting request (S 1920 ).
the UE may determine that reporting the system information which is acquired in advance is not allowed. Further, when the ready-acquired system information report indicator is included in the system information reporting request, the UE may determine that reporting the information which is acquired in advance is allowed.
the UE may determine that reporting the system information which is acquired in advance is allowed.
the UE When reporting the system information which is acquired in advance is not allowed, the UE acquires the system information from the neighboring cell (S 1930 ).
the UE accesses the neighboring cell by temporally leaving the serving cell in order to acquire the system information of the neighboring cell.
the UE may acquire the system information of the neighboring cell through a broadcast channel by accessing the neighboring cell.
