Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on 5G communication technology and 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 handover method of a terminal in a mobile communication system according to the present disclosure includes transmitting UE capability information including a random access-free handover indicator to a first base station, receiving a handover command message from the first base station, and transmitting, when the handover command message includes uplink resource information, a handover complete message to a second base station based on the uplink resource information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a paging message while the terminal is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state;
identifying whether to enter an RRC idle state or perform an RRC connection resumption procedure based on the paging message;
entering the RRC idle state in case of identifying that the terminal is to enter the RRC idle state based on the paging message; and
in case of identifying that the terminal is to perform the RRC connection resumption procedure based on the paging message:
transmitting, to the base station, an RRC resume request message,
receiving, from the base station, an RRC release message as a response to the RRC resume request message, and
entering the RRC idle state based on the RRC release message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the paging message further comprises:
receiving an RRC release message including information related to the RRC inactive state; and
entering the RRC inactive state based on the RRC release message including the information related to the RRC inactive state.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the information related to the inactive state includes a paging area and information for identifying a context of the terminal in the RRC inactive state.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the context of the terminal is stored in the RRC inactive state.

5. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:
identifying a paging message;
transmitting, to a terminal in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, the paging message, wherein the paging message is used to identify whether the terminal is to enter an RRC idle state or perform an RRC connection resumption procedure;
receiving, from the terminal, an RRC resume request message in case that the RRC connection resumption procedure is initiated based on the paging message; and
transmitting, to the terminal, an RRC release message as a response to the RRC resume request message,
wherein a state of the terminal is transitioned to the RRC idle state based on the RRC release message.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein transmitting the paging message further comprises:
transmitting an RRC release message including information related to the RRC inactive state,
wherein the state of the terminal is transitioned to the RRC inactive state based on the RRC release message including the information related to the RRC inactive state.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information related to the inactive state includes a paging area and information for identifying a context of the terminal in the RRC inactive state.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the context of the terminal is stored in the RRC inactive state.

9. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
receive, from a base station via the transceiver, a paging message while the terminal is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state,
identify whether to enter an RRC idle state or perform an RRC connection resumption procedure based on the paging message,
enter the RRC idle state in case of identifying that the terminal is to enter the RRC idle state based on the paging message, and
in case of identifying that the terminal is to perform the RRC connection resumption procedure based on the paging message:
transmit, to the base station, an RRC resume request message,
receive, from the base station, an RRC release message as a response to the RRC resume request message, and
enter the RRC idle state based on the RRC release message.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller is configured to:
receive an RRC release message including information related to the RRC inactive state, and
enter the RRC inactive state based on the RRC release message including the information related to the RRC inactive state.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the information related to the inactive state includes a paging area and information for identifying a context of the terminal in the RRC inactive state.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the context of the terminal is stored in the RRC inactive state.

13. A base station in a communication system, the base station comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
identify a paging message,
transmit, via the transceiver, to a terminal in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, the paging message, wherein the paging message is used to identify whether the terminal is to enter an RRC idle state or perform an RRC connection resumption procedure,
receive, from the terminal, an RRC resume request message in case that the RRC connection resumption procedure is initiated based on the paging message, and
transmit, to the terminal, an RRC release message as a response to the RRC resume request message,

wherein a state of the terminal is transitioned to the RRC idle state based on the RRC release message.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the controller is configured to transmit an RRC release message including information related to the RRC inactive state, and
wherein the state of the terminal is transitioned to the RRC inactive state based on the RRC release message including the information related to the RRC inactive state.

15. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the information related to the inactive state includes a paging area and information for identifying a context of the terminal in the RRC inactive state, and
wherein the context of the terminal is stored in the RRC inactive state.
