In addition, the terms “… unit”, “… unit”, “module”, etc. described in the specification mean a unit that processes at least one function or operation, which may be implemented by hardware or software or a combination of hardware and software. have. Also, "a or an", "one", "the", and the like are used differently in the context of describing the present invention (particularly in the context of the following claims). Unless otherwise indicated or clearly contradicted by context, it may be used in the sense including both the singular and the plural.
Specific terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are provided to help the understanding of the present invention, and the use of the specific terms may be changed into other forms without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
The following techniques include code division multiple access (CDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), and the like. It can be used in various radio access systems. CDMA may be implemented with a radio technology such as Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) or CDMA2000. TDMA may be implemented with wireless technologies such as Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) / General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) / Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE). OFDMA may be implemented in a wireless technology such as IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802-20, Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA). UTRA is part of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) is part of an Evolved UMTS (E-UMTS) using E-UTRA, and employs OFDMA in downlink and SC-FDMA in uplink. LTE-A (Advanced) is the evolution of 3GPP LTE.
For clarity, the following description focuses on 3GPP LTE / LTE-A, but the technical spirit of the present invention is not limited thereto.
1 is a diagram schematically showing an E-UMTS network structure as an example of a mobile communication system to which the present invention can be applied. The Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (E-UMTS) system is an evolution from the existing Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), and is currently undergoing basic standardization in 3GPP. In general, the E-UMTS may be referred to as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system.
Referring to FIG. 1, an E-UMTS includes a user equipment (UE), an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN), and an evolved packet core (epc).
E-UTRAN is an evolved network from the existing UTRAN. The E-UTRAN is composed of base stations (eNBs), and each base station is connected through an X2 interface. The base station is connected to the terminal through the air interface, and is connected to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) through the S1 interface.
One or more cells exist in one base station. The cell is set to one of bandwidths such as 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20Mhz to provide downlink or uplink transmission services to multiple terminals. Different cells may be configured to provide different bandwidths. The base station controls data transmission and reception for a plurality of terminals. For downlink (DL) data, the base station transmits downlink scheduling information, which is related to time / frequency domain, encoding, data size, and hybrid automatic repeat and reQuest (HARQ) request for data to be transmitted to the corresponding UE. Give information and more. In addition, the base station transmits uplink scheduling information to the terminal for uplink (UL) data and informs the user equipment of time / frequency domain, encoding, data size, and hybrid automatic retransmission request information. An interface for transmitting user traffic or control traffic may be used between base stations.
EPC is the core network (CN) of the E-UMTS, an evolution of the GPRS core network. EPC is an ALL-IP network divided into Control Plane and User Plane.
EPC includes Mobility Management Entity (MME), Serving-Gateway (S-GW), Packet Data Network-Gateway (PDN-GW), and Home Subscriber Server (HSS). The MME has information about the access information of the terminal or the capability of the terminal, and this information is mainly used for mobility management of the terminal. S-GW is a gateway having an E-UTRAN as an endpoint, and PDN-GW is a gateway having a PDN (Packet Data Network) as an endpoint. HSS is a central database (DB) with a user profile that provides the MME with user credentials and user profiles.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a control plane and a user plane structure of a radio interface protocol between a terminal and an E-UTRAN based on the 3GPP radio access network standard. The control plane refers to a path through which control messages used by a user equipment (UE) and a network to manage a call are transmitted. The user plane refers to a path through which data generated at an application layer, for example, voice data or Internet packet data, is transmitted.
The physical layer, which is the first layer, provides an information transfer service to an upper layer by using a physical channel. The physical layer is connected to the upper layer of the medium access control layer through a transport channel. Data moves between the medium access control layer and the physical layer through the transport channel. Data moves between the physical layer between the transmitting side and the receiving side through the physical channel. The physical channel utilizes time and frequency as radio resources. Specifically, the physical channel is modulated in the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheme in the downlink, and modulated in the Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) scheme in the uplink.
The medium access control (MAC) layer of the second layer provides a service to a radio link control (RLC) layer, which is a higher layer, through a logical channel. The RLC layer of the second layer supports reliable data transmission. The function of the RLC layer may be implemented as a functional block inside the MAC. The PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) layer of the second layer performs a header compression function to reduce unnecessary control information for efficiently transmitting IP packets such as IPv4 or IPv6 in a narrow bandwidth wireless interface.
The Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer located at the bottom of the third layer is defined only in the control plane. The RRC layer is responsible for control of logical channels, transport channels, and physical channels in connection with configuration, reconfiguration, and release of radio bearers (RBs). The radio bearer refers to a service provided by the second layer for data transmission between the terminal and the network. To this end, the RRC layers of the UE and the network exchange RRC messages with each other. If there is an RRC connected (RRC Connected) between the UE and the RRC layer of the network, the UE is in an RRC connected mode, otherwise it is in an RRC idle mode. The non-access stratum (NAS) layer above the RRC layer performs functions such as session management and mobility management.
One cell constituting the base station (eNB) is set to one of the bandwidth, such as 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20Mhz to provide a downlink or uplink transmission service to multiple terminals. Different cells may be configured to provide different bandwidths.
The downlink transport channel for transmitting data from the network to the UE includes a broadcast channel (BCH) for transmitting system information, a paging channel (PCH) for transmitting a paging message, and a downlink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or a control message. have. Traffic or control messages of a downlink multicast or broadcast service may be transmitted through a downlink SCH or may be transmitted through a separate downlink multicast channel (MCH). Meanwhile, the uplink transmission channel for transmitting data from the terminal to the network includes a random access channel (RAC) for transmitting an initial control message and an uplink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or a control message. It is located above the transport channel, and the logical channel mapped to the transport channel is a broadcast control channel (BCCH), a paging control channel (PCCH), a common control channel (CCCH), a multicast control channel (MCCH), and an MTCH (multicast). Traffic Channel).

If the terminal 310 fails to access the target eNB during the handover start timer period, that is, until the timer expires, the terminal 310 returns to the source base station. This handover failure may occur due to an MME rejection, random access failure, or the like.

Meanwhile, since the terminal 310 is equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) module, the terminal 310 may receive a GPS signal and check the position of the terminal 310 using the received GPS signal. However, if the terminal 310 does not have a GPS module or if the GPS signal is weak and the location of the terminal 310 is not determined even when the GPS module is mounted, only the quality information except the location information is provided.

The ECID technique is a method of improving accuracy by adding distance information between the base station and the terminal to the Cell ID technique. In this case, the distance information refers to a value excluding a response processing time in a terminal from a time when a base station requests a response to the terminal and a time when the base station receives a response from the terminal (Round Trip Time RTT).
