Abstract

Provided are a method for a terminal to receive system information in a wireless communication system and a device supporting the method. The method may comprise: a step of entering a first radio resource control (RRC) state; a step of transmitting, to a base station, an RRC state transition request message requesting a state transition of a terminal from the first RRC state to a second RRC state, the RRC state transition request message including a cause value indicating a request for system information; and a step of receiving, in response to the RRC state transition request message, a rejection message including the requested system information from the base station with respect to the first RRC state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for receiving system information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:
entering a first radio resource control (RRC) state;
transmitting, to a base station (BS), a first RRC state transition request message including a cause value which informs the BS that the system information related to the first RRC state is requested by the UE; and
based on the cause value included in the first RRC state transition request message, receiving, from the BS, a reject message including the system information related to the first RRC state requested by the UE,
wherein the first RRC state transition request message including the cause value is a message for requesting the system information related to the first RRC state without a state transition from the first RRC state to a second RRC state, and
wherein a second RRC state transition request message not including the cause value is a message for requesting the state transition for the UE from the first RRC to the second RRC state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RRC state transition request message to informs the BS that the system information related to the first RRC state is requested by the UE.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein, based on the first RRC state transition request message informing the BS that the system information related to the first RRC state is requested by the UE, the reject message includes system information being requested for the first RRC state.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the cause value included in the first RRC state transition request message, the reject message is transmitted by the BS to the UE in response to the first RRC state transition request message including the cause value.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RRC state is an RRC_IDLE state, the second RRC state is an RRC_CONNECTED state, the first RRC state transition request message is an RRC connection request message, and the reject message is an RRC connection reject message.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RRC state is an RRC_INACTIVE state, the second RRC state is an RRC_ACTIVE state, the first RRC state transition request message is an RRC connection resume request message, and the reject message is an RRC connection resume reject message.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
based on the reject message which is received from the BS, storing the system information related to the first RRC state, wherein the first RRC state is maintained.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the system information included in the reject message informs the UE that the system information is system information related to the first RRC state.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the system information included in the reject message is valid only in the first RRC state.

10. The method of claim 9 ,
wherein, based on the first RRC state which is an RRC_INACTIVE state, the system information included in the reject message is valid in cells belonging to a same radio access network (RAN) based area, and
wherein the RAN based area is an area that is used for UE mobility of the RRC_INACTIVE state.

11. The method of claim 9 ,
wherein, based on the first RRC state which is an RRC_IDLE state, the system information included in the reject message is valid in cells belonging to a same core network (CN) based area, and
Wherein the CN based area is an area for UE mobility of the RRC_IDLE state.

12. A user equipment (UE) receiving system information in a wireless communication system, comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
a processor operatively connecting the memory and the transceiver,
wherein the processor is configured to:
enter a first radio resource control (RRC) state;
control the transceiver to transmit, to a base station (BS), a first RRC state transition request message including a cause value which informs the BS that the system information related to the first RRC state is requested by the UE; and
based on the cause value included in the first RRC state transition request message, control the transceiver to receive, from the BS, a reject message including the system information related to the first RRC state requested by the UE,
wherein the first RRC state transition request message including the cause value is a message for requesting the system information related to the first RRC state without a state transition from the first RRC state to a second RRC state, and
wherein a second RRC state transition request message not including the cause value is a message for requesting the state transition for the UE from the first RRC to the second RRC state.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein, based on the cause value included in the first RRC state transition request message, the reject message is transmitted by the BS to the UE in response to the first RRC state transition request message including the cause value.

14. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the system information included in the reject message is valid only in the first RRC state.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE communicates with at least one of a mobile terminal, a network or autonomous vehicles other than the UE.
