Abstract

A method and apparatus for performing access control in a wireless communication is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives an access control parameter and a backoff parameter from a network, and determines whether to apply the access control parameter or the backoff parameter based on applications. If it is determined to apply the access control parameter, the UE applies the access control parameter instead of the backoff parameter.

Claims

1. A method for performing, by a user equipment (UE), access control in a wireless communication, the method comprising:

receiving, by the UE, an access control parameter and a backoff parameter from a network; and

if the access control parameter indicates that the UE should apply the access control parameter before transmitting a random access preamble or a scheduling request for one or more specific mobile originating (MO) accesses, and if a random access procedure or a scheduling request procedure is initiated due to the one or more specific MO accesses;

determining, by the UE, to apply the access control parameter;

applying, by the UE, the determined access control parameter; and

transmitting, by the UE, the random access preamble or the scheduling request according to the applied access control parameter.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a configuration, which indicates whether the UE should apply the access control parameter or the backoff parameter, from the network.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the access control parameter is one of access class barring information received from system information or service specific access control information received from the system information.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the access control parameter indicates skipping of applying a random access backoff for the random access preamble or the scheduling request.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the access control parameter includes a barring time and a barring factor.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the access control parameter is received via one of system information, a random access response, medium access control (MAC) control element, or a radio resource control (RRC) message on a dedicated control channel (DCCH).

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more specific mobile originating (MO) accesses includes at least one of emergency access, high priority access, access for Internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) signaling, access for multimedia telephony (MMTEL) applications, mobile terminating access, or access for mobile originating signaling.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining, by the UE, whether or not to delay transmission of the random access preamble or the scheduling request according to the applied access control parameter.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the UE is in an RRC connected state (RRC_CONNECTED).

10. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting or receiving a radio signal; and

a processor, coupled to the RF unit, that;

controls the RF unit to receive an access control parameter and a backoff parameter from a network; and

if the access control parameter indicates that the UE should apply the access control parameter before transmitting a random access preamble or a scheduling request for one or more specific mobile originating (MO) accesses, and if a random access procedure or a scheduling request procedure is initiated due to the one or more specific MO accesses;

determines to apply the access control parameter;

applies the determined access control parameter; and

controls the RF unit to transmit the random access preamble or the scheduling request according to the applied access control parameter.

11. The UE of claim 10, wherein the processor controls the RF unit to receive a configuration, which indicates whether the UE should apply the access control parameter or the backoff parameter, from the network.
