CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) 
       [0001]    This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) of a Korean patent application filed on Jan. 24, 2014 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office and assigned Serial number 10-2014-0009247, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. 
       TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for setting a handover parameter considered when a handover is performed in a mobile communication system. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    A handover refers to the change of a service evolved Node B (eNB) from which a User Equipment (UE) receives a current service into an eNB which can provide better service. For example, when service quality deteriorates while the UE receives the service from the serving eNB, the handover to a target eNB which can provide better service is made and the UE continuously receives the service from the target eNB. 
         [0004]      FIGS. 1A and 1B  illustrate examples of a heterogeneous network including a macro eNB and a small eNB according to the related art. 
         [0005]    Referring to  FIG. 1A , it is assumed that a heterogeneous network includes a plurality of cells, and each of the cells includes one macro eNB  105 ,  107 ,  109 , and  111 , and one or more small eNBs  113 ,  117 ,  119 ,  121 ,  123 ,  125 , and  127 . The small eNB may be, for example, a micro eNB, a pico eNB, or a femto eNB. 
         [0006]    UEs  101  and  103  moving within an illustrated communication area  100  perform a handover to maintain the quality of service which the UEs receive. 
         [0007]    When it is assumed that a serving eNB is the macro eNB  105 , the UE may perform a handover from the macro eNB  105  to the macro eNB  107  or the small eNB  117  according to a movement position. When it is assumed that a serving eNB is the small eNB  117 , the UE may perform a handover from the small eNB  117  to the small eNB  119  or the macro eNB  107  according to a movement position. 
         [0008]    Referring to  FIG. 1B , a graph illustrates a downlink received signal strength of the UE with respect to a distance between the macro eNB and the small eNB included in the heterogeneous network. Specifically, in  FIG. 1B , a horizontal axis of the illustrated graph indicates a distance between the macro eNB  100  and the small eNB  120  and a vertical axis indicates a downlink received signal strength of the UE  130 . That is, reference numeral  160  indicates a downlink received signal strength with respect to the macro eNB  110  and reference numeral  170  indicates a downlink received signal strength with respect to the small eNB  120 . Further, reference numeral  140  indicates a macro eNB communication area in which data transmission/reception to/from the macro eNB  110  is possible, and reference numeral  150  indicates a small eNB communication area in which data transmission/reception to/from the small eNB  120  is possible. 
         [0009]    As described above, in the heterogeneous network including the macro eNBs and the small eNBs, the UE may perform a handover from the macro eNB to the macro eNB, a handover from the macro eNB to the small eNB, a handover from the small eNB to the macro eNB, or a handover from the small eNB to the small eNB. For an efficient handover in the heterogeneous network, a method of adaptively applying a handover parameter according to types of a serving eNB and a target eNB is required. 
         [0010]    However, at present no method has been prepared to adaptively apply the handover parameter according to the type of a serving eNB and a target eNB in the heterogeneous network. 
         [0011]    The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the present disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the present disclosure. 
       SUMMARY

       DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0030]    The following description with reference to the accompanying drawings is provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of various embodiments of the present disclosure as defined by the claims and their equivalents. It includes various specific details to assist in that understanding but these are to be regarded as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the various embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. In addition, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions may be omitted for clarity and conciseness. 
         [0031]    The terms and words used in the following description and claims are not limited to the bibliographical meanings, but, are merely used by the inventor to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of various embodiments of the present disclosure is provided for illustration purpose only and not for the purpose of limiting the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. 
         [0032]    It is to be understood that the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a component surface” includes reference to one or more of such surfaces. 
         [0033]      FIG. 2  illustrates an example of a handover process performed by a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
         [0034]    Referring to  FIG. 2 , it is assumed that the communication system corresponds to, for example, a Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) communication system and an LTE-A communication system includes a UE  200 , a source evolved Node B (eNB)  210 , and a target eNB  220 . The source eNB  210  refers to a serving eNB from which the UE  200  currently receives service. 
         [0035]    The UE  200  receives a measurement control message from each of the source eNB  210  and the target eNB  220  in operations  201  and  202 . The UE  200  measures DownLink (DL) signal strengths for the source eNB  210  and the target eNB  220  and detects a handover event through the measured DL signal strengths in operation  203 . 
         [0036]    The handover event means that a state, in which a DL signal strength or signal quality of the target eNB is higher (or better) than a DL signal strength or signal quality of the serving eNB by a predetermined offset, is maintained for a predetermined time. That is, the handover event means that a state, in which Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) for the target eNB RSRPtarget is larger than a sum of RSRP for the serving eNB RSRP serving and a predetermined offset Δ (RSRPtarget&gt;RSRPserving+Δ), or a state, in which Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) for the target eNB RSRQtarget is larger than a sum of RSRQ for the serving eNB RSRQserving and a predetermined offset Δ (RSRQtarget&gt;RSRQserving+A), is maintained for Time-To-Trigger (TTT). 
         [0037]    The UE  200  having detected the handover event in which the state where the RSRP or RSRQ of the target eNB  220  is higher (or better) than the RSRP or RSRQ of the source eNB  210  by A is maintained for the TTT in operation  203  receives UpLink (UL) resources from the source eNB  210  in operation  205 . Thereafter, the UE transmits a measurement report message to the source eNB  210  in operation  207  to inform the source eNB  210  of the detection of the handover event. 
         [0038]    The source eNB  210  determines whether to perform the handover of the UE  200  in operation  209 . When there is a determination to perform the handover of the UE  200  in operation  209 , the source eNB  210  transmits a handover request message to the target eNB  220  in operation  211 . 
         [0039]    The target eNB  220  determines whether to perform the handover through an admission control in operation  213 , and transmits a response message  215  of a handover request message to the source eNB  210  in operation  215 . Here, it is assumed that the target eNB  220  accepts the handover request. In this case, the handover response message includes an Acknowledge (ACK) message. 
         [0040]    The source eNB  210  having received the ACK message for accepting the handover request allocates DL resources to the UE  200  in operation  217 , and transmits a handover command message to the UE  200  in operation  219 . The handover command message includes information required for performing the handover. 
         [0041]    The UE  200  performs the remaining handover operations based on the information included in the handover command message. That is, the UE  200  acquires synchronization with the target eNB  220  and accesses a Random Access CHannel (RACH) in operation  221 , receives UL resources from the target eNB  220  in operation  223 , and transmits a handover confirm message to the target eNB  220  in operation  225 . 
         [0042]    Operations  207  to  217  described above are included in a handover preparation phase  230 , and operations  219  to  225  are included in a handover execution phase  240 . After the handover execution phase  240  is completely performed, in operation  227 , the source eNB  210  releases the allocated resources in operations  205  and  217 . 
         [0043]    Meanwhile, in order to successfully perform the handover, communication should be performed between the source eNB (or serving eNB)  210  and the UE  200 , between the source eNB  210  and the target eNB  220 , and between the target eNB  220  and the UE  200 , and the communication requires a predetermined time or longer. Particularly, since the handover is mainly generated when the UE  200  moves away from the source eNB  210  and becomes closer to the target eNB  220 , it is important for the UE  200  to receive the handover command message from the source eNB  210  before a channel gain between the UE  200  and the source eNB  210  becomes lower. 
         [0044]    However, when a predetermined time considered when the handover event is detected, that is, the TTT is set as a time which is too long, a delay is generated in the handover, and thus the channel gain between the UE  200  and the source eNB  210  becomes lower. Accordingly, the UE  200  may not successfully receive the handover command message transmitted from the source eNB  210 . 
         [0045]    In contrast, when the TTT considered when the handover event is detected is set as a time which is too short, there is not enough time to monitor the channel gain between the source eNB  210  and the target eNB  220 . Accordingly, a ping-pong phenomenon in which unnecessary handovers are repeated between the source eNB  210  and the target eNB  220  is generated. Therefore, it is very important to set the TTT as a proper value to perform a more efficient handover. 
         [0046]    Hereinafter, the reason why the TTT should be set as a proper value will be described in more detail with reference to  FIGS. 3 and 4 . 
         [0047]      FIG. 3  is a graph showing a DL received signal strength according to a UE position when a handover of the UE from a macro eNB to another macro eNB is made in a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
         [0048]    Referring to  FIG. 3 , a horizontal axis of the graph indicates a position of the UE and a vertical axis indicates a DL received signal strength of the UE. Further, reference numeral  300  indicates a DL received signal strength with respect to a first macro eNB, for example, received power P 1 , and reference numeral  310  indicates a DL received signal strength with respect to a second macro eNB, for example, received power P 2 . 
         [0049]    The UE detects that a difference between P 1  and P 2  is larger than or equal to a predetermined threshold (P 1 −P 2 ≧threshold) in a corresponding position  301 , and identifies whether the state (P 1 −P 2 ≧threshold) is maintained in a predetermined time, that is, the TTT. When the state (P 1 −P 2 ≧threshold) is maintained for the TTT, the UE transmits a measurement report message to the first macro eNB corresponding to the serving eNB in a corresponding position  303  and receives a handover command message from the first macro eNB in a corresponding position  305 . Thereafter, the UE determines that the handover is successful based on the reception of the handover command message. 
         [0050]      FIG. 4  is a graph showing a DL received signal strength according to a UE position when a handover of the UE from a macro eNB to a small eNB is made in a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
         [0051]    Referring to  FIG. 4 , a horizontal axis of the graph indicates a position of the UE and a vertical axis indicates a DL received signal strength of the UE. Further, reference numeral  400  indicates a DL received signal strength with respect to the macro eNB, for example, received power P 1 , and reference numeral  410  indicates a DL received signal strength with respect to the small eNB, for example, received power P 2 . 
         [0052]    The UE detects that a difference between P 1  and P 2  is larger than or equal to a predetermined threshold (P 1 −P 2 ≧threshold) in a corresponding position  401 , and identifies whether the state (P 1 −P 2 ≧threshold) is maintained in a predetermined time, that is, the TTT. It is assumed that the TTT is the same as the TTT applied to  FIG. 3 . When the state (P 1 −P 2 ≧threshold) is maintained for the TTT, the UE transmits a measurement report message to the macro eNB corresponding to the serving eNB in a corresponding position  403  and receives a handover command message from the macro eNB in a corresponding position  405 . 
         [0053]    However, since the DL received signal strength of the small eNB in the corresponding position  405 , the DL received signal from the small eNB acts as significantly large interference when the UE receives the handover command message transmitted from the macro eNB. Due to the interference, the UE has a difficulty in successfully receiving the handover command message transmitted from the macro eNB, and a UE which has not received the handover command message in the position  405  fails to perform the handover. In this case, in order not to fail to perform the handover, a method of performing handover before an increase in interference from the small eNB may exist as one solution. To this end, the TTT corresponding to the parameter considered when the handover event is detected should be set as a value smaller than the TTT applied to  FIG. 3 . 
         [0054]    Further, in the heterogeneous network including the macro eNB and the small eNB, not only the handover between macro eNBs but also a handover from a macro eNB to a small eNB, a handover from a small eNB to a macro eNB, or a handover from a small eNB to another small eNB may be generated. 
         [0055]    Handovers in a case where the serving eNB is the macro eNB, for example, a handover from a macro eNB to another macro eNB or a handover from a macro eNB to a small eNB, and handovers in a case where the serving eNB is the small eNB, for example, a handover from a small eNB to a macro eNB or a handover from a small eNB to another small eNB may have different characteristics. Further, handovers in a case where the target eNB is the macro eNB, for example, a handover from a macro eNB to another macro eNB or a handover from a small eNB to a macro eNB, and handovers in a case where the target eNB is the small eNB, for example, a handover from a macro eNB to a small eNB or a handover from a small eNB to another small eNB may also have different characteristics. 
         [0056]    A handover performed when the serving eNB is the macro eNB, particularly, a handover from a macro eNB to a small eNB is generated when a channel gain between the UE and the serving eNB is high. A handover performed when the serving eNB is the small eNB is generated when the channel gain is always low. 
         [0057]    That is, when the serving eNB is the macro eNB, the small eNB is located within a communication area of the macro eNB. Accordingly, a handover from the macro eNB to the small eNB is not generated in an edge part of the communication area of the macro eNB, and accordingly is generated when the channel gain is relatively high. However, when the serving eNB is the small eNB, both a handover from a small eNB to another small eNB and a handover from a small eNB to a macro eNB are generated in an edge part of the communication area of the small eNB, and thus are generated when the channel gain is relatively low. 
         [0058]    Further, the macro eNB has a wide and continuous communication area, and accordingly, the communication area of the macro eNB may accept all UEs moving at fast speeds and stopping UEs regardless of mobility of the UEs. In contrast, the small eNB has a narrow and discontinuous communication area, and, accordingly, the communication area of the small eNB mainly accepts UEs moving at slow speeds. 
         [0059]    However, when the UE moving at a fast speed performs a handover to a small eNB, the UE should perform a handover again to another small eNB or a macro eNB in a short time due to the narrow and discontinuous communication area of the small eNB. Accordingly, even though there is a small eNB near the UE moving at a fast speed, it may be better not to perform the handover to the small eNB in some cases. While the movement speed of the UE in the handover does not need to be considered when the target eNB is the macro eNB, the movement speed of the UE acts as an important parameter which should be considered in the handover when the target eNB is the small eNB. 
         [0060]    Hereinafter, when the UE performs a handover, a method of applying different handover parameters, that is, different TTTs according to a type of a serving eNB, a type of a target eNB, and a combination of a serving eNB and a target eNB will be described in more detail. 
         [0061]    The UE is required to distinguish between types of eNBs, for example, cell types to apply different TTTs according to an eNB type or an eNB combination. Hereinafter, the eNB type and the cell type will be used as the same meaning. 
         [0062]    There are two methods in which the UE distinguishes between cell types. In the first method, when the eNB broadcasts its own system information, the eNB explicitly transmits information on its own cell type. In the second method, when a system manager allocates physical cell Identifiers (IDs) to eNBs, the system manager allocates different cell IDs according to an eNB type. 
         [0063]    Table 1 shows a correlation between an eNB type and a physical cell ID.

         [0064]    When information shown in Table 1 is shared by the eNB, the system manager, and the UE, the UE may grasp information on an eNB type of a particular eNB. For reference, [Xi, Xi+Yi] and [Xj, Xj+Yj] should be set so as not to overlap each other, and eNB types Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 may be a micro eNB, a pico eNB, and a femto eNB, respectively. The expression format [Xi, Xi+Yi] corresponds to a set of physical cell IDs included in a range from a physical cell ID Xi to a physical cell ID Xi+Yi. Further, an eNB type default may include a macro eNB or an eNB which does not need to be classified specifically. 
         [0065]    According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when each eNB provides information on eNBs adjacent to the eNB itself, the format as shown in Table 2 is used. Such a format is referred to as, for example, a cell type list.

         [0066]    In the sequence shown in Table 2, a set of physical cell IDs included in kth round brackets corresponds to a kth eNB type. That is, the kth round brackets mean that an eNB corresponding to a physical cell ID [Xk, Xk+Yk] is included in an eNB type k. When the cell type list is configured using an index k indicating a kth eNB type and then is shared between the eNB and the UE, the UE may identify physical cell IDs of adjacent eNBs and recognize the eNB types of corresponding eNBs. 
         [0067]    Next, each eNB provides a parameter considered when the handover event is detected, that is, TTT information to the UE. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the eNB provides the TTT information to the UE according to each eNB type or each individual eNB. First, when the TTT information is provided according to each eNB type, the eNB may use the following two methods. In the first method, the eNB informs the UE of the TTT and then provides a scaling factor which is applied according to each eNB type to the UE. In the second method, the eNB directly provides the TTT which is applied according to each eNB type to the UE. 
         [0068]    Table 3 shows a format for expressing a TTT SF per cell type list with which the eNB provides the UE.

         [0070]    As shown in Tables 3 and 4, in the TTT SF per cell type list, SEQUENCE (SIZE(1 . . . maxCellType)) OF SpeedStateScaleFactor is expressed. In the TTT per cell type list, SEQUENCE (SIZE(1 . . . maxCellType)) OF TimeToTrigger is expressed. 
         [0071]    That is, the cell type list corresponds to the sequence of SpeedStateScaleFactor defined in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) release-11 in the method of providing the TTT SF per cell type list, and the cell type list corresponds to the sequence of TimeToTrigger defined in 3GPP release-11 in the method of providing the TTT per cell type list. Further, maxCellType shown in Tables 3 and 4 refers to the number of types of eNBs defined by the system manager, and the number of types of eNBs is the same as the number of items included in the cell type list (that is, the number of round brackets in the sequence). 
         [0072]    For reference, the present disclosure is not limited to the scaling factors or TTTs listed in Table 3 and 4, which are only examples, and different values can be used. 
         [0073]    When the eNB provides information on the TTT to the UE according to each eNB type, the cell type list index k and TTT information, that is, the index k of the TTT SF per cell type list shown in Table 3 and the index of the TTT per cell type list shown in Table 4 refer to the same eNB type. In this case, when the UE receives the TTT SF per cell type list shown in Table 3 from the eNB, the UE applies a default TTT*SFk to an eNB included in a kth eNB type. When the UE receives the TTT per cell type list from the eNB, the UE applies a TTTk to an eNB included in a kth eNB type. When the TTT information is provided according to each individual eNB, the UE can directly grasp a scaling factor or a TTT applied to each eNB, so that a separate analysis process is not required. 
         [0074]    When the TTT information is provided according to each individual eNB, the eNB may use the following two methods. In the first method, the eNB informs the UE of a default TTT and then provides a scaling factor which is applied according to each individual eNB to the UE. In the second method, the eNB directly provides the TTT which is applied according to each individual eNB to the UE. 
         [0075]    Table 5 shows a format for expressing a TTT SF per cell in which the TTT SF is provided according to each individual eNB, not each cell type.

         [0077]    As shown in Tables 6 and 7, when the eNB provides the TTT SF per cell or the TTT per cell to the UE, the corresponding information is irrelevant to the cell type, so that a very simple expression is possible. In this case, since a cell index (cellIndex) and a physical cell ID (physCellId) are included in a message including a TTT scaling factor or a TTT as shown in Table 7, the UE can easily grasp the TTT scaling factor or the TTT. Although not shown in Table 7, the TTT SF per cell or the TTT per cell may be included in a System Information Block type 3 (SIB3). In this case, the UE may receive SIB3 and identify a TTT scaling factor or a TTT which can be applied to the eNB having transmitted SIB3. 
         [0078]    Table 7 shows an example in which information on a TTT SF per call or a TTT per cell is included in CellsToAddMod of MEASOBJECTEUTRA IE.

         [0079]    According to information shown in Table 7, the UE applies different scaling factors based on its own mobility state as well as an eNB type. For example, the mobility state of the UE is determined based on the number of handovers or cell (re)selections for a predetermined time. 
         [0080]      FIG. 8  shows a format for expressing mobility state parameters per cell type to set different mobility related parameters according to an eNB type.

         [0081]    As shown in Table 8, the mobility state parameters per cell type are expressed as SEQUENCE (SIZE(1 . . . maxCellType)) OF MobilityStateParameters. That is, it means a sequence of MobilityStateParameters defined in 3GPP Rel-11. For reference, the present disclosure is not limited to t-Evaluation, t-HystNormal, n-CellChangeMedium, and n-CellChangeHigh listed in Table 8, which are only examples, and different values can be applied. 
         [0082]    When information required for determining UE mobility is provided according to each eNB type, an index k of the cell type list and an index k of the mobility state parameters per cell type refer to the same eNB type. The UE mobility is determined by using mobility state parameter information included in a kth sequence for an eNB included in a kth eNB type. 
         [0083]      FIG. 5  illustrates an example flow diagram in which an eNB provides a handover parameter to a UE in a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
         [0084]    Referring to  FIG. 5 , an eNB  500  transmits cell type information, TTT information, and mobility information to a UE  510  in operation  520 . The cell type information includes the cell type list shown in Table 2, the TTT information includes the TTT SF per cell type list and the TTT per cell type list shown in Table 3 and 4, and the mobility information includes the mobility state parameters per cell type shown in Table 8. Each piece of information is included in messages shown in Tables 9 and 10.

         [0087]    Each piece of information shown in Table 10 and messages including the information will be described below. 
         [0088]    Cell Type in MeasConfig Information Element (IE) 
         [0089]    The cell type is defined as a range of only physical cell IDs. The cell type list may be defined as a sequence of cell types, and accordingly, may include one or more ranges of physical cell IDs which can be analyzed in every index of the corresponding sequence. For example, when the cell type list is defined as SEQUENCE {{CellID1, 10}, {CellID50, 20} }, cells having cell IDs from 1 to 10 are cell type 1, and cells having cell IDs from 50 to 70 are cell type 2. Cells having cell IDs which are not included in any cell ID ranges listed in cell types may be included in a default cell type. For example, one or more cells corresponding to the default cell type may be a macro cell. Further, one or more cells corresponding to cell type 2 may be a pico cell, and one or more cells corresponding to cell type 1 may be a femto cell. 
         [0090]    The cell type list may be added to “MeasConfig IE” which can be included in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message. When MeasConfig IE including the cell type list is received, the UE realizes the cell type which should be measured. 
         [0091]    Cell type in MeasObjectEUTRA IE 
         [0092]    The cell type list may be added to “MeasObjectEUTRA IE” which can be included in an RRC reconfiguration message. When MeasObjectEUTRA IE including the cell type list is received, the UE realizes the cell type which should be measured. 
         [0093]    Cell type in ReportConfigEUTRA IE 
         [0094]    The cell type list may be added to “ReportConfigEUTRA IE” which can be included in an RRC reconfiguration message. When ReportConfigEUTRA IE including the cell type list is received, the UE realizes the cell type which should be measured. 
         [0095]    The cell type list may be added to a system information message. For example, the cell type list may be included in SIB3. When SIB3 including the cell type list is received, the UE may know the types of cells existing in the system. When a measurement configuration message including the cell type list is received, the UE measures only cells corresponding to the cell types. Otherwise, the UE measures cells corresponding to all cell types as defined in SIB3. 
         [0096]    Alternatively, when the cell type list is included in SIB3, the measurement configuration message (MeasConfig or MeasObjectEUTRA IE) may include only indexes of cell types which should be measured (cell types according to CellTypeList defined in SIB3). The definition may correspond to CellTypesToMeasure::=SEQUENCE {INTEGER (1 . . . , maxCellTypes}. The default cell type should be measured regardless of the measurement related message including the cell type list, but should not be measured when the cell type list defines cell types which are not the default cell type. 
         [0097]    TTT (TTT Based on Scaling Factor) in ReportConfigEUTRA IE 
         [0098]    The TTT is defined per cell type and defined as a TTT-related scaling factor for the default cell type. TimeToTriggerPerCellType is defined as a sequence of the TTT. A TTT entry within the sequence is an entry within a sequence corresponding to a cell type corresponding to an index within a cell type list sequence which is the same as an index of a TTT entry within a TimeToTriggerPerCellType sequence. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, TimeToTriggerPerCellType may be included in ReportConfigEUTRA IE. When receiving ReportConfigEUTRA including TimeToTriggerPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type and a TTT which should be used for the cell type. 
         [0099]    TTT (Absolute TTT) in ReportConfigEUTRA IE 
         [0100]    The TTT is defined per cell type, and defined as an absolute value. TimeToTriggerPerCellType is defined as the sequence of TTT. A TTT entry within the sequence is an entry within a sequence corresponding to a cell type corresponding to an index within a cell type list sequence which is the same as an index of a TTT entry within a TimeToTriggerPerCellType sequence. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, TimeToTriggerPerCellType may be included in ReportConfigEUTRA IE. When receiving ReportConfigEUTRA including TimeToTriggerPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type and a TTT which should be used for the cell type. 
         [0101]    TTT (TTT Based on Scaling Factor) in MeasConfig IE 
         [0102]    TimeToTriggerPerCellType including the sequence of TTTs defined as the scaling factors related to the TTT for the default cell type may be included in MeasConfig IE. When receiving MeasConfig IE including TimeToTriggerPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type and a TTT which should be used for the cell type. 
         [0103]    TTT (Absolute TTT) in MeasConfig IE 
         [0104]    TimeToTriggerPerCellType including the sequence of TTTs defined as absolute values for cell types may be included in MeasConfig IE. When receiving MeasConfig IE including TimeToTriggerPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type and a TTT which should be used for the cell type. 
         [0105]    TTT (TTT Based on Scaling Factor Per Cell Type) in MeasObjectEUTRA IE 
         [0106]    TimeToTriggerPerCellType including the sequence of TTTs defined as the scaling factors related to the TTT for the default cell type may be included in MeasObjectEUTRA IE. When receiving MeasObjectEUTRA IE including TimeToTriggerPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type and a TTT which should be used for the cell type. 
         [0107]    TTT (Absolute TTT Per Cell Type) in MeasObjectEUTRA IE 
         [0108]    TimeToTriggerPerCellType including the sequence of TTTs defined as absolute values for cell types may be included in MeasObjectEUTRA IE. When receiving MeasObjectEUTRA IE including TimeToTriggerPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type and a TTT which should be used for the cell type. 
         [0109]    TTT (Absolute TTT Per Cell) in MeasObjectEUTRA IE 
         [0110]    The TTT may be individually defined in an absolute way per cell, and may be included in MeasObjectEUTRA IE. When receiving MeasObjectEUTRA IE including TimeToTriggerPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type which should be measured and a TTT which should be used for the cell type. 
         [0111]    TTT (TTT Based on Scaling Factor Per Cell) in MeasObjectEUTRA IE 
         [0112]    The TTT may be individually defined in a scaling factor way per cell, and may be included in MeasObjectEUTRA IE. When receiving MeasObjectEUTRA IE including TimeToTriggerPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type which should be measured and a TTT which should be used for the cell type. 
         [0113]    TTT (TTT Based on Scaling Factor) in SIB3 
         [0114]    TimeToTriggerPerCellType including the sequence of TTTs defined as the scaling factors related to the TTT for the default cell type may be included in the system information message such as SIB3. When receiving SIB3 including TimeToTriggerPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type and a TTT which should be used for the cell type. 
         [0115]    Trigger Time in SIB3 (Absolute TTT) 
         [0116]    TimeToTriggerPerCellType including the sequence of TTTs defined as absolute values for cell types may be included in MeasConfig IE. When receiving MeasConfig IE including TimeToTriggerPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type and a TTT which should be used for the cell type. 
         [0117]    Mobility State Parameters (MobilityStateParameter) Per Cell Type within SIB3 
         [0118]    The mobility state parameters are defined per cell type. MobilityStateParametersPerCellType is defined as a sequence of the TTT. A TTT entry within the sequence is an entry within a sequence corresponding to a cell type corresponding to an index within a cell type list sequence which is the same as an index of an entry of mobility state parameters within a MobilityStateParametersPerCellType sequence. According to an embodiment, MobilityStateParametersPerCellType may be included in system information messages such as SIB3. When receiving SIB3 including MobilityStateParametersPerCellType, the UE may know a cell type and mobility state parameters which should be used for the cell type.

         [0145]    The UE having received the above information from the serving eNB and the target eNB should determine whether to set the TTT according to the type of serving eNB or according to the type of target eNB. The determination may be made by an implementation method of the UE or by a control method of the UE. For example, the UE may configure priorities of types of eNBs and provide the UE of information on the priorities, and the UE receiving the information may set the TTT according to the eNB type having a higher priority. 
         [0146]    Last, when the source eNB is the macro eNB and the target eNB is the small eNB, the UE should determine whether to quickly perform a handover to the small eNB by using a short TTT or not perform the handover to the corresponding small eNB by using a long TTT. The UE may consider a movement speed of the UE when determining whether to use the short TTT or the long TTT. That is, when the movement speed is fast, a time for which the UE stays in the corresponding small eNB is short, and thus the UE avoids the handover by applying the long TTT. Further, in determining whether to use the short TTT or the long TTT, the UE may consider a channel gain between the UE and the source eNB as well as the movement speed of the UE. The short TTT refers to a TTT having a value smaller than a preset value (non-scaled default value) and the long TTT refers to a TTT having a value larger than or equal to the preset value (non-scaled default value). 
         [0147]    When a channel gain between the UE and the source eNB is sufficient, the UE does not need to be handed over to the small eNB corresponding to the target eNB. This is because, in comparison between a capability gain acquired from the handover and a capability reduction due to overheads generated by the handover (for example, interruption time or signaling overheads), the capability gain from the handover is not larger. In contrast, when the channel gain between the UE and the source eNB is not good, it is preferable that the UE performs the handover to the small eNB. In this case, even though the interruption time and signal overheads are generated by the handover, service quality experienced by the UE is more important. Accordingly, in various embodiments of the present disclosure described below, when the handover from the macro eNB to the small eNB is generated, the following operations are executed. 
         [0148]    1. When a speed of the UE is larger than or equal to a particular value and RSRP serving of the serving eNB is also larger than or equal to a particular value, the UE avoids the handover to the small eNB by using a long TTT. 
         [0149]    2. When a speed of the UE is larger than or equal to a particular value and RSRP serving of the serving eNB is smaller than a particular value, the UE rapidly performs the handover to the small eNB by using a short TTT. 
         [0150]      FIG. 6  is a flowchart illustrating an example in which the UE adaptively sets a TTT according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
         [0151]    Referring to  FIG. 6 , when the UE detects the generation of a handover from a macro eNB to a small eNB in operation  600 , the UE proceeds to operation  610 . The generation of the handover from the macro eNB to the small eNB is detected based on the cell type information shown in Tables 1 and 2 described above. 
         [0152]    The UE identifies whether a movement speed of the UE is larger than a preset first threshold in operation  610 , and proceeds to operation  620  when the movement speed of the UE is larger than the first threshold. Whether the movement speed of the UE is larger than the first threshold is identified based on mobility state parameters per cell type shown in Table 8 described above. That is, when the number of handovers/cell (re)selections generated during t-Evaluation is larger than or equal to n-CellChangeMedium and smaller than n-CellChangeHigh, a mobility state of the UE is medium corresponding to a low level. When the number of handovers/cell (re)selections is larger than or equal to n-CellChangeHigh, the mobility state of the UE is high corresponding to a high level. Mobility states of UEs which do not correspond to medium and high are normal corresponding to an intermediate level. Based on such a method, the threshold for the movement speed of the UE may be set as a high mobility state or a medium mobility state. In addition to the method, a method depending on the implementation of the UE, for example, a method using a GPS may be considered. 
         [0153]    The UE identifies whether reference signal received power for serving eNB RSRPserving is larger than an already known second threshold in operation  620 . When RSRPserving is larger than the second threshold, the UE proceeds to operation  630  and sets a TTT considered when a handover event is detected as a long TTT. Further, when RSRPserving is not larger than the second threshold, that is, RSRPserving is smaller than the second threshold, the UE proceeds to operation  640  and sets a TTT considered when the handover event is detected as a short TTT. The second threshold is a value which the serving eNB notifies to the UE, and is inserted into a broadcasting message of the serving eNB and then transmitted. Further, the long TTT and the short TTT are distinguished by the TTT per cell type and the TTT SF per cell type shown in Tables 3 and 4. That is, higher N TTTs are determined as long TTTs in available TTTs arranged in an ascending order and higher N TTTs are determined as short TTTs in available TTT arranged in a descending order. 
         [0154]      FIGS. 7A and 7B  illustrate examples in which the UE uses a short TTT and a long TTT in a mobile communication system according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. 
         [0155]    Referring to  FIGS. 7A and 7B , it is assumed that the serving eNB is the macro eNB and the target eNB is the small eNB, and a movement speed of the UE is faster than a predetermined threshold speed (UE movement speed&gt;threshold speed). 
         [0156]    Referring to  FIG. 7A , when a difference between a received signal strength RSRPmacro received from the serving eNB and a received signal strength RSRPsmall received from the target eNB is larger than or equal to a preset offset (A 3  offset), the UE identifies whether RSRPmacro is larger than an already known RSRP threshold. In this case, RSRPmacro is smaller than the RSRP threshold, so that the UE sets the TTT considered when the handover event is detected, as a short TTT. 
         [0157]    Referring to  FIG. 7B , when a difference between a received signal strength RSRPmacro received from the serving eNB and a received signal strength RSRPsmall received from the target eNB is larger than or equal to a preset offset (A 3  offset), the UE identifies whether RSRPmacro is larger than an already known RSRP threshold. In this case, RSRPmacro is larger than the RSRP threshold, so that the UE sets the TTT considered when the handover event is detected, as a long TTT. 
         [0158]    In an embodiment of the present disclosure described through  FIGS. 6 ,  7 A, and  7 B, when the generation of the handover is detected, that is, when the UE detects the handover event, the UE determines whether to apply the long TTT or the short TTT according to the received signal strength of the macro eNB corresponding to the serving eNB. However, since a radio channel generally varies as time goes by and considers a handover state by movement of the current UE, the signal strength of the macro eNB measured by the UE also varies as time goes by. 
         [0159]    Accordingly, the signal strength of the macro eNB may be reduced while monitoring whether the offset A 3  is maintained during the long TTT after the UE determines to apply the long TTT, and accordingly RSRPmacro may be changed into a value equal to or smaller than the RSRP threshold. In this case, the UE should consider switching from the long TTT to the short TTT. 
         [0160]    Similarly, the signal strength of the macro eNB may increase while monitoring whether the offset A 3  is maintained during the short TTT after the UE determines to apply the short TTT, and accordingly RSRPmacro may be changed into a value larger than the RSRP threshold. In this case, the UE should consider switching from the short TTT to the long TTT. 
         [0161]      FIG. 8  is a flowchart illustrating an example in which the UE switches a preset long TTT to a short TTT in a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
         [0162]    Referring to  FIG. 8 , the UE having applied the long TTT in operation  800  identifies whether the long TTT has expired in operation  810 . When the long TTT has expired based on a result of the identification, the UE transmits a measurement report message for a handover in operation  850 . When the long TTT has not expired, the UE identifies whether reference signal received power for the serving eNB RSRPserving is smaller than an already known RSRP threshold in operation  820 . 
         [0163]    The UE proceeds to operation  810  when RSRPserving is not greater than the RSRP threshold, and proceeds to operation  830  to identify a TTT progressed up to a current time within the long TTT, that is, a TTTrunning value when RSRPserving is greater than the RSRP threshold. The UE identifies whether the TTTrunning value is larger than the short TTT in operation  840 . When the TTTrunning value is larger than the short TTT, the UE transmits a measurement report message to the serving eNB to initiate the handover process in operation  850 . When TTTrunning is larger than the short TTT, it means that the TTT has already expired from the perspective of the short TTT. 
         [0164]    However, when TTTrunning is not larger than the short TTT, the UE switches the currently applied TTT to the short TTT in operation  860 . When TTTrunning is not larger than the short TTT, it means that the TTT has not yet expired from a view point of the short TTT. Further, the UE monitors whether the offset A 3  (RSRPtarget−RSRPserving) is maintained during the left TTT from the viewpoint of the short TTT, that is, during TTT−TTTrunning. 
         [0165]      FIG. 9  is a flowchart illustrating an example in which the UE switches a preset short TTT to a long TTT in a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
         [0166]    Referring to  FIG. 9 , having applied the short TTT in operation  900 , the UE identifies whether the short TTT has expired in operation  910 . When the short TTT has expired based on a result of the identification, the UE transmits a measurement report message for a handover, and switches the currently applied short TTT to the long TTT in operation  940 . When the short TTT has not expired, the UE identifies whether reference signal received power for the serving eNB RSRPserving is larger than an already known RSRP threshold in operation  920 . 
         [0167]    The UE proceeds to operation  910  when RSRPserving is not larger than the RSRP threshold, and proceeds to operation  930  to identify a TTT progressed up to a current time within the short TTT, that is, a TTTrunning value when RSRPserving is larger than the RSRP threshold. In operation  940 , the UE switches the currently applied short TTT to the long TTT. Further, the UE monitors whether the offset A 3  (RSRPtarget−RSRPserving) is maintained during the left TTT from the viewpoint of the long TTT, that is, during TTT−TTTrunning. 
         [0168]      FIGS. 10A and 10B  illustrate examples in which the UE switches a currently applied TTT in a mobile communication system according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. 
         [0169]    Referring to  FIGS. 10A and 10B , it is assumed that the serving eNB is the macro eNB and the target eNB is the small eNB, and a movement speed of the UE is faster than a predetermined threshold speed (UE movement speed&gt;threshold speed). 
         [0170]    Referring to  FIG. 10A , when a difference between a received signal strength received from the serving eNB RSRPmacro and a received signal strength received from the target eNB RSRPsmall is larger than or equal to a predetermined offset (offset A 3 ), the UE identifies whether RSRPmacro is larger than an already known RSRP threshold. In this case, since RSRPmacro is larger than the RSRP threshold, the UE sets a TTT considered when a handover event is detected as a long TTT. However, when RSRPmacro becomes smaller than the RSRP threshold before the long TTT has expired, the UE identifies a TTT value progressed up to a current time within the long TTT, that is, TTTrunning. Then, the UE compares TTTrunning with the short TTT. When TTTrunning is smaller than the short TTT, the UE switches the currently applied long TTT to the short TTT. 
         [0171]    Further, time information T 1 , T 2 , and T 3  illustrated in  FIG. 10A  are described below. 
         [0172]    T 1 : refers to a time point when the UE detects offset A 3  and determines to apply the long TTT 
         [0173]    T 2 : refers to a time point when the UE switches the long TTT to the short TTT since the signal strength RSRPmacro received from the macro eNB corresponding to the serving eNB becomes smaller than the RSRP threshold 
         [0174]    T 3 : refers to a time point when a handover is initiated by additionally identifying whether offset A 3  is maintained during short TTT−TTTrunning at the time point T 2  when the long TTT is switched to the short TTT. 
         [0175]    Referring to  FIG. 10B , when a difference between a received signal strength received from the serving eNB RSRPmacro and a received signal strength received from the target eNB RSRPsmall is larger than or equal to a predetermined offset (offset A 3 ), the UE identifies whether RSRPmacro is larger than an already known RSRP threshold. In this case, since RSRPmacro is not larger than the RSRP threshold, the UE sets a TTT considered when a handover event is detected as a short TTT. However, when RSRPmacro becomes larger than the RSRP threshold before the short TTT has expired, the UE identifies a TTT value progressed up to a current time within the short TTT, that is, TTTrunning. Then, the UE switches the currently applied short TTT to the long TTT. 
         [0176]    Further, time information T 4 , T 5 , and T 6  illustrated in  FIG. 10B  are described below. 
         [0177]    T 4 : refers to a time point when the UE detects offset A 3  and determines to apply the short TTT. 
         [0178]    T 5 : refers to a time point when the UE switches the short TTT to the long TTT since the signal strength RSRPmacro received from the macro eNB corresponding to the serving eNB becomes larger than the RSRP threshold. 
         [0179]    T 6 : refers to a time point when a handover to the small eNB is not performed by additionally identifying whether offset A 3  is maintained during short TTT−TTTrunning at the time point T 5  when the short TTT is switched to the long TTT. 
         [0180]    As described through  FIGS. 9 ,  10 A, and  10 B, the UE may adaptively change the currently applied short TTT and long TTT according to a condition, and may determine whether to rapidly perform a handover to a small eNB based on the short TTT or not perform the handover to the small eNB based on the long TTT through the adaptive change in the TTTs.
