Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for convergence of a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system with an IoT technology, and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to an intelligent service (for example, a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related service, etc.) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. A communication method of a terminal in a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present specification comprises the steps of: acquiring cell-related information corresponding to a first communication mode; acquiring cell-related information corresponding to a second communication mode; receiving a first message through the second communication mode; and transmitting a request message corresponding to the first communication mode on the basis of the first message.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A communication method of a terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
receiving first information on a first communication mode;
receiving second information on a second communication mode;
determining to perform a communication with a base station based on the second communication mode in case that a predetermined condition is satisfied;
transmitting, to the base station, a first message including a terminal identity for communicating based on the second communication mode with context information of the terminal used for the first communication mode, according to the determination to perform the communication with the base station based on the second communication mode, the terminal identity being associated with the first communication mode;
transmitting or receiving a signal with the base station based on the second communication mode using the terminal identity associated with the first communication mode; and
receiving a paging signal for communicating with the base station based on the second communication mode,
wherein the terminal identity associated with the first communication mode is used for receiving the paging signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
monitoring a status of the terminal; and
transmitting a first request message for requesting to connect with the base station using the first communication mode based on a result of the monitoring,
wherein the status of the terminal comprises a battery status of the terminal.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, in case that the terminal cannot communicate signals with the base station based on the first communication mode, a second request message for requesting to connect to the base station using the second communication mode.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a power-off command;
performing an operation associated with the second communication mode in response to the power-off command; and
controlling, in case that a second message is received based on the second communication mode, the terminal based on the second message.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the performing of the operation associated with the second communication mode comprises transmitting location information of the terminal based on the second communication mode.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
acquiring, in case that the terminal is located out of coverage of a cell for the first communication mode and in coverage of a cell for the second communication mode, location information corresponding thereto; and
transmitting the acquired location information to the base station.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
acquiring synchronization information corresponding to the second communication mode; and
transmitting or receiving a signal based on the first communication mode based on the acquired synchronization information.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the base station, a third message based on the second communication mode, the third message indicating for communicating based on the first communication mode; and
transmitting, to the base station, a forth message for requesting a communication based on the first communication mode based on the third message.

9. A terminal of a mobile communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and
at least one processor connected to the transceiver and configured to:
control to receive first information on a first communication mode,
receive second information on a second communication mode,
determine to perform a communication with a base station based on the second communication mode in case that a predetermined condition is satisfied,
transmit, to the base station via the transceiver, a first message including a terminal identity for communicating based on the second communication mode with context information of the terminal used for the first communication mode, according to the determination to perform the communication with the base station based on the second communication mode, the terminal identity being associated with the first communication mode,
transmit or receive a signal with the base station via the transceiver based on the second communication mode using the terminal identity associated with the first communication mode, and
receive, via the transceiver, a paging signal for communicating with the base station based on the second communication mode,

wherein the terminal identity associated with the first communication mode is used for receiving the paging signal.

10. The terminal of claim 9 ,
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control to:
monitor a status of the terminal, and
transmit a first request message for requesting to connect with the base station using the first communication mode based on a result of the monitoring, and

wherein the status of the terminal comprises a battery status of the terminal.

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control to transmit, in case that the terminal cannot communicate signals with the base station based on the first communication mode, a second request message for requesting to connect to the base station using the second communication mode.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
control to receive a power-off command,
perform an operation associated with the second communication mode in response to the power-off command, and
control, in case that a second message is received based on the second communication mode, the terminal based on the second message.

13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control to transmit location information of the terminal based on the second communication mode.

14. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control to:
acquire, in case that the terminal is located out of coverage of a cell for the first communication mode and in coverage of a cell for the second communication mode, location information corresponding thereto, and
transmit the acquired location information to the base station.

15. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control to:
acquire synchronization information corresponding to the second communication mode, and
transmit or receive a signal based on the first communication mode based on the acquired synchronization information.

16. The terminal of claim 9 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control to:
receive, from the base station via the transceiver, a third message based on the second communication mode, the third message indicating for communicating based on the first communication mode, and
transmit, to the base station via the transceiver, a forth message for requesting a communication based on the first communication mode based on the third message.
