Abstract

The method for transmitting and receiving data at a base station in a wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of receiving a performance report from a terminal, determining whether the addition of a serving cell is necessary, when the addition of the serving cell is necessary, transmitting a request for receiving a cell identifying signal to one or more other base stations on the basis of the received performance report and transmitting a request for transmitting the cell identifying signal to the terminal. According to the embodiment, in a network in which a small cell and a macro cell are overlapped and operated, the terminal can minimize battery consumption and quickly recognize the small cell.

Claims

1. A communication method by a base station of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a terminal, a first message including first information indicating whether the terminal supports a context continuation for a header compression; and

transmitting, to the terminal, a second message associated with a handover,

wherein information on the context for the header compression corresponding to at least one bearer for the handover is continued,

if the handover is not associated with a full configuration,

if the at least one bearer is mapped on unacknowledged mode, and

if the second message includes second information indicating to continue a context for the header compression, and

wherein the context for the header compression is a robust header compression (ROHC) context.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the second information is included in the second message if a full configuration is not included in the second message.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the information on the context for the header compression corresponding to the at least one bearer is reset, if the at least one bearer is mapped on the unacknowledged mode and the second information is not configured.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the information on the context for the header compression corresponding to the at least one bearer is reset, if the at least one bearer is mapped on acknowledged mode.

5. A communication method by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, a first message including first information

indicating whether the terminal supports a context continuation for a header compression;

receiving, from the base station, a second message associated with a handover; and

continuing information on the context for the header compression corresponding to the at least one bearer,

if the handover is not associated with a full configuration,

if at least one bearer for the handover is mapped on unacknowledged mode, and

if the second message includes second information indicating to continue a context for the header compression,

wherein the context for the header compression is a robust header compression (ROHC) context.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the second information is included in the second message if a full configuration is not included in the second message.

7. The method of claim 5, further comprises:

resetting, if the at least one bearer is mapped on the unacknowledged mode and the second information is not configured, the information on the context for the header compression corresponding to the at least one bearer.

8. The method of claim 5, further comprises:

resetting, if the at least one bearer is mapped on acknowledged mode, the information on the context for the header compression corresponding to the at least one bearer.

9. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller coupled to the transceiver and configured to;

receive, from a terminal, a first message including first information indicating whether the terminal supports a context continuation for a header compression, and

transmit, to the terminal, a second message associated with a handover,

wherein information on the context for the header compression corresponding to at least one bearer for the handover is continued,

if the handover is not associated with a full configuration,

if the at least one bearer is mapped on unacknowledged mode, and

if the second message includes second information indicating to continue a context for the header compression, and

wherein the context for the header compression is a robust header compression (ROHC) context.

10. The base station of claim 9, wherein the second information is included in the second message if a full configuration is not included in the second message.

11. The base station of claim 9, wherein the information on the context for the header compression corresponding to the at least one bearer is reset, if the at least one bearer is mapped on the unacknowledged mode and the second information is not configured.

12. The base station of claim 9, wherein the information on the context for the header compression corresponding to the at least one bearer is reset, if the at least one bearer is mapped on acknowledged mode.

13. A terminal communicating data in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller coupled to the transceiver and configured to;

transmit, to a base station, a first message including first information indicating whether the terminal supports a context continuation for a header compression,

receive, from the base station, a second message associated with handover, and

continue information on the context for the header compression corresponding to the at least one bearer,

if the handover is not associated with a full configuration,

if at least one bearer for the handover is mapped on unacknowledged mode, and

if the second message includes second information indicating to continue a context for the header compression,

wherein the context for the header compression is a robust header compression (ROHC) context.

14. The terminal of claim 13, wherein the second information is included in the second message if a full configuration is not included in the second message.

15. The terminal of claim 13, wherein the controller is further configured to reset, if the at least one bearer is mapped on the unacknowledged mode and the second information is not configured, the information on the context for the header compression corresponding to the at least one bearer.

16. The terminal of claim 13, wherein the controller is further configured to reset, if the at least one bearer is mapped on acknowledged mode, the information on the context for the header compression corresponding to the at least one bearer.
