Patent ID: 11523436

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method for handling random access procedure in wireless communication system is provided. The method includes determining, by a user equipment (UE), that the UE is in one of an idle mode or an inactive mode, acquiring, by the UE, a system information block (SIB) Type1 (SIB1) message from a cell, determining, by the UE, whether the UE supports a frequency band criterion, a spectrum emission criterion, and a bandwidth part criterion based contents of the acquired SIB1 message, and performing, by the UE, one of camping on the cell in response to determining that the UE supports at least one of the frequency band criterion, the spectrum emission criterion, or the bandwidth part criterion, or barring the cell in response to determining that the UE does not support both the frequency band criterion, the spectrum emission criterion, or the bandwidth part criterion.
