Abstract

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving measurement information in a mobile communication system. A terminal transmits a connection request message to a network and reports to the network, connection failure-related measurement information when a registered public land mobile network (RPLMN) included in a connection setup message received from the network corresponds to a pre-stored and selected public land mobile network (PLMN) and the connection failure-related measurement information stored with the selected PLMN is available.

Claims

1. A method transmitting information by a user equipment(UE), the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) connection setup request message to the network;

receiving, from the base station, a RRC a connection setup message from the network in response corresponding to the RRC connection request message;

determining whether stored public land mobile network (PLMN) information associated with connection failure information is equal to registered PLMN information; and

transmitting, to the base station, a RRC connection setup complete message including first information indicating the UE includes the connection failure information, if the connection failure information is available and if the stored PLMN information is equal to the registered PLMN information.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the stored PLMN information is selected by the UE, and

the method further comprising:

storing the connection failure information if a preset timer expires.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising stopping the preset timer if at least one of:

the UE receives the RRC connection setup message or an RRC connection reject message,

the UE performs a cell reselection, or

upper layers abort an RRC connection procedure.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a UE information request message including a second information indicating the base station requests the connection failure information;

and

transmitting a UE information response message corresponding to the UE information request message, the UE information response message including the connection failure information.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the connection failure information comprises at least one of:

a cell identity of a cell of the base station that detected the RRC connection establishment failure,

a reference signal received power (RSRP) and a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) of the cell that detected the connection establishment failure,

a neighboring cell measurement report,

location information of the UE, or

random access failure related information.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the stored PLMN information is determined by an upper layer of the UE from a PLMN list included in system information broadcasted by the base station, and

wherein the registered PLMN information is a PLMN identity of a registered MME provided by upper layers.

17. The method of claim 4, wherein the first information is connEstFailInfoAvailable and the second information is connEstFailReportReq.

7. A method for receiving information by a base station, a report of measurement information from a terminal the method comprising:

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message from the terminal a user equipment (UE);

transmitting, to the UE, a RRC connection setup message corresponding to the RRC connection request message; and

receiving, from the UE, a RRC connection setup complete message comprising first information indicating connection failure information is included by the UE, if the connection failure information is available and if a stored public land mobile network (PLMN) information associated with the connection failure information is equal to registered PLMN information,

wherein a determination of whether the stored PLMN information is equal to the registered PLMN information is determined by the UE.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the connection failure information includes at least one of:

a cell identity of a cell of the base station that detected a connection establishment failure,

a reference signal received power (RSRP) and a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) of the cell that detected the connection establishment failure, a neighboring cell measurement report, location information of the UE, or random access failure related information.

18. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

transmitting a UE information request message including second information indicating a request of the connection failure information; and

receiving a UE information response message including the connection failure information from the UE.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the first information is connEstFailInfoAvailable and the second information is connEstFailReportReq.

20. The method of claim 7, wherein the stored PLMN information is determined by an upper layer of the UE from a PLMN list included in system information broadcasted by the base station, and

wherein the registered PLMN information is a PLMN identity of a registered MME provided by an upper layer.

9. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting information, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a control unit configured to;

transmit a radio resource control (RRC) connection setup request message to a base station, and

receive, from the base station, a RRC connection setup message corresponding to the RRC connection setup request message,

determine whether stored public land mobile network (PLMN) information associated with connection failure information is equal to registered PLMN information, and

transmit, to the base station, a RRC connection setup complete message including a first information indicating the UE includes the connection failure information, if the connection failure information is available and if the UE stored PLMN information is equal to the registered PLMN information.

10. The UE of claim 9, wherein the stored PLMN information is selected by the UE, and

wherein the UE is further configured to store the connection failure information if a preset timer expires.

11. The UE of claim 10, further configured to stop the preset timer if at least one of:

the UE receives the RRC connection setup message or an RRC connection reject message,

12. The UE of claim 9, wherein the control unit is further configured to control the transceiver to:

receive a UE information request message including second information indicating the base station requests the connection failure information, and

transmit a UE information response message corresponding to the UE information request message, wherein the UE information response message includes the connection failure information.

13. The UE of claim 9, wherein the connection failure information comprises at least one of:
