Abstract

A method for controlling delay tolerant access of a Machine-Type Communication (MTC) device based on a backoff mechanism is provided. The method includes receiving, at a terminal, a paging message including an access barring information update indicator from a base station, and receiving a System Information Block (SIB) including updated access barring information, the SIB being received regardless of modification periods. The terminal receives the SIB including the updated access barring information immediately without waiting for the arrival of next modification period, resulting in improvement of access barring efficiency.

Claims

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

receiving a paging message from a base station, the paging message including information indicating a change of extended access barring (EAB) information;

receiving, from the base station, first system information including scheduling information related to second system information having changed EAB information without waiting until a next system information modification period based on the paging message; and

receiving, from the base station, the second system information including the changed EAB information based on the scheduling information,

wherein the second system information includes category information indicating a category of terminals for which the changed EAB information is applied.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

discarding previously received system information, if the scheduling information related to the second system information is not included in the first system information.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second system information includes second information indicating at least one access class among a plurality of access classes.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first system information includes system information block 1 (SIB 1).

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the changed EAB information is not applied to the terminal, if at least one of an access class information and the category information does not correspond to the terminal.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the category is one of a first category indicating all terminals, a second category indicating terminals with the exception of terminals served by a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) and an equivalent PLMN, and a third category indicating terminals with exception of the terminals served by the HPLMN and the equivalent PLMN and terminals related to roaming.

7. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to control the transceiver to;

receive a paging message from a base station, the paging message including information indicating a change of extended access barring (EAB) information,

receive, from the base station, first system information including scheduling information related to second system information having changed EAB information without waiting until a next system information modification period based on the paging message, and

receive, from the base station, the second system information including the changed EAB information based on the scheduling information,

wherein the second system information includes category information indicating a category of terminals for which the changed EAB information is applied.

8. The terminal of claim 7, wherein the controller is further configured to discard previously received system information, if the scheduling information related to the second system information is not included in the first system information.

9. The terminal of claim 7, wherein the second system information includes second information indicating at least one access class among a plurality of access classes.

10. The terminal of claim 7, wherein the first system information includes system information block 1 (SIB 1).

11. The terminal of claim 7, wherein the changed EAB information is not applied to the terminal, if at least one of an access class information and the category information does not correspond to the terminal.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein the category is one of a first category indicating all terminals, a second category indicating terminals with the exception of terminals served by a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) and an equivalent PLMN, and a third category indicating terminals with exception of the terminals served by the HPLMN and the equivalent PLMN and terminals related to roaming.
