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 first system information from the base station;

identifying whether the first system information includes scheduling information related to second system information; and

receiving the second system information including the changed EAB information from the base station, if the first system information includes the scheduling information related to the second system information,

wherein the second system information is received without waiting until a next system information modification period.

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 first information indicating at least one access class among a plurality of access classes.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the second system information includes second information indicating the category of terminals for which the changed access barring information is applied.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the second information is categorized into one of a first category indicating all terminals, a second category indicating terminals with the exception of the 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 HPLMN and an equivalent PLMN, and terminals related to roaming.

6. 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 category information in the second system information does not corresponds to the terminal.

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

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to;

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

receive first system information from the base station,

identify whether the first system information includes scheduling information related to second system information, and

receive the second system information including the changed EAB information from the base station, if the first system information includes the scheduling information related to the second system information,

wherein the second system information is received without waiting until a next system information modification period.

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 first information indicating at least one access class among a plurality of access classes.

10. The terminal of claim 7, wherein the second system information includes second information indicating the category of terminals for which the changed access barring information is applied.

11. The terminal of claim 10, wherein the second information is categorized into one of a first category indicating all terminals, a second category indicating terminals with the exception of the 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 HPLMN and an equivalent PLMN, and terminals related to roaming.

12. 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 category information in the second system information does not corresponds to the terminal.
