Abstract

A method and a device for selecting a cell in a mobile communication system and for selecting a cell for transmitting data, by a base station, not only in a licensed frequency band but in an unlicensed frequency band. A method for configuring a cell of a base station includes connecting with a terminal through a first cell of a licensed band; transmitting, to the terminal, a message for configuring multiple second cells in an unlicensed band through the first cell; and monitoring the configured multiple second cells in the unlicensed band, wherein the number of the multiple second cells exceeds the number of cells, a carrier aggregation of which the terminal can support. The present disclosure relates to a 5G or a pre-5G communication system to be provided in order to support a higher data transmission rate after a 4G communication system such as an LTE.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a message including configuration information on secondary cells (SCells), wherein each of the SCells is to be in one of an activated state, a deactivated state, or a specific state, and wherein the configuration information includes first information configuring a first SCell to be in the activated state, and second information configuring a second SCell to be in the specific state;

performing channel state information (CSI) reporting and physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring for the first SCell in the activated state; and
performing CSI reporting for the second SCell in the specific state,
wherein PDCCH monitoring is not performed on the second SCell in the specific state, and wherein an SCell among the SCells is determined to be in the deactivated state, in case that the SCell is not configured as either the activated state or the specific state;
wherein the message further includes a configuration for a periodicity of the CSI reporting for the second SCell, and wherein the CSI reporting for the second SCell is performed based on the configuration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific state is not configured for a primary cell (PCell).

3. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a terminal, a message including configuration information on secondary cells (SCells), wherein each of the SCells is to be in one of an activated state, a deactivated state, or a specific state, and wherein the configuration information includes first information configuring a first SCell to be in the activated state, and second information configuring a second SCell to be in the specific state;
receiving, from the terminal, channel state information (CSI) reporting and first data for the first SCell in the activated state, the first data being based on physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for the first SCell in the activated state; and
receiving, from the terminal, CSI reporting for the second SCell in the specific state,
wherein second data is not received from the terminal on the second SCell in the specific state, and
wherein an SCell among the SCells is determined to be in the deactivated state, in case that the SCell is not configured as either the activated state or the specific state;
wherein the message further includes a configuration for a periodicity of the CSI reporting for the second SCell, and wherein the CSI reporting for the second SCell is received based on the configuration.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the specific state is not configured for a primary cell (PCell).

5. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
control the transceiver to receive, from a base station, a message including configuration information on secondary cells (SCells), wherein each of the SCells is to be in one of an activated state, a deactivated state, or a specific state, and wherein the configuration information includes first information configuring a first SCell to be in the activated state, and second information configuring a second SCell to be in the specific state,
perform channel state information (CSI) reporting and physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring for the first SCell in the activated state, and
perform CSI reporting for the second SCell in the specific state,
wherein PDCCH monitoring is not performed on the second SCell in the specific state, and
wherein an SCell among the SCells is determined to be in the deactivated state, in case that the SCell is not configured as either the activated state or the specific state;
wherein the message further includes a configuration for a periodicity of the CSI reporting for the second SCell, and wherein the CSI reporting for the second SCell is performed based on the configuration.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the specific state is not configured for a primary cell (PCell).

7. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
control the transceiver to transmit, to a terminal, a message including configuration information on secondary cells (SCells), wherein each of the SCells is to be in one of an activated state, a deactivated state, or a specific state, and wherein the configuration information includes first information configuring a first SCell to be in the activated state, and second information configuring a second SCell to be in the specific state,
control the transceiver to receive, from the terminal, channel state information (CSI) reporting and first data for the first SCell in the activated state, the first data being based on physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for the first SCell in the activated state, and
control the transceiver to receive, from the terminal, CSI reporting for the second SCell in the specific state,
wherein second data is not received from the terminal on the second SCell in the specific, and
wherein an SCell among the SCells is determined to be in the deactivated state, in case that the SCell is not configured as either the activated state or the specific state;
wherein the message further includes a configuration for a periodicity of the CSI reporting for the second SCell, and wherein the CSI reporting for the second SCell is received based on the configuration.

8. The base station of claim 7 , wherein the specific state is not configured for a primary cell (PCell).
