Abstract

In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for configuring, by a network node, a resource of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system including receiving resource preference information of the UE; configuring a resource for the UE based on the resource preference information; and transmitting, to the UE, a result of configuring the resource for the UE, wherein the configuring of the resource for the UE based on the resource preference information includes, when a plurality of resource operation units in which an entire available resource range is divided into a predetermined number is configured for the UE, selecting a specific resource operation unit among the plurality of resource operation units according to the resource preference information of the UE.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for configuring, by a network node, a resource of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving resource preference information of the UE;
configuring a resource for the UE based on the resource preference information; and
transmitting, to the UE, a result of configuring the resource for the UE,
wherein the configuring of the resource for the UE based on the resource preference information comprises, based on a plurality of resource operation units in which an entire available resource range is divided into a predetermined number being configured for the UE, selecting a specific resource operation unit among the plurality of resource operation units according to the resource preference information of the UE,
wherein the resource preference information:
is network assistance information for indicating a resource operation scheme preferred by the UE; and
indicates a performance centric representing a preference for a resource operation that prioritizes a performance of the UE, or an energy centric representing a preference for a resource operation that prioritizes resource saving of the UE,
wherein the network node corresponds to a mobility management (MM) for managing a mobility of the UE, a session management (SM) for managing a session of the UE, or an access node (AN) for serving the UE, and
wherein the configuring of the resource for the UE based on the resource preference information further comprises:
based on the resource preference information indicating the performance centric, selecting an always-on protocol data unit (PDU) session scheme that maintains the session for the UE regardless of whether the session is used by the UE; and
based on the resource preference information indicating the energy centric, selecting an on-demand PDU session scheme that releases the session when the session is not used by the UE for a predetermined time.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource preference information is transmitted as a non-access stratum (NAS) message.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, based on a configuration parameter of the UE or other network node having to be changed according to the result of configuring the resource for the UE, transmitting a message requesting an update of the configuration parameter to the UE or at least one other network node.

4. A network node for configuring a resource of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the network node comprising:
a communication module configured to transmit and receive a signal; and
a processor configured to control the communication module,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive resource preference information of the UE;
configure a resource for the UE based on the resource preference information, and select a specific resource operation unit among a plurality of resource operation units according to the resource preference information of the UE based on the plurality of resource operation units in which an entire available resource range is divided into a predetermined number being configured for the UE; and
transmit, to the UE, a result of configuring the resource for the UE,
wherein the resource preference information:
is network assistance information for indicating a resource operation scheme preferred by the UE; and
indicates a performance centric representing a preference for a resource operation that prioritizes a performance of the UE, or an energy centric representing a preference for a resource operation that prioritizes resource saving of the UE,
wherein the network node corresponds to a mobility management (MM) for managing a mobility of the UE, a session management (SM) for managing a session of the UE, or an access node (AN) for serving the UE, and
wherein the network node is further configured to configure the resource for the UE based on the resource preference information by:
based on the resource preference information indicating the performance centric, selecting an always-on protocol data unit (PDU) session scheme that maintains the session for the UE regardless of whether the session is used by the UE, and
based on the resource preference information indicating the energy centric, selecting an on-demand PDU session scheme that releases the session when the session is not used by the UE for a predetermined time.

5. The network node of claim 4 , wherein the resource preference information is transmitted as a non-access stratum (NAS) message.

6. The network node of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on a configuration parameter of the UE or other network node having to be changed according to the result of configuring the resource for the UE, transmit a message requesting an update of the configuration parameter to the UE or at least one other network node.
