Patent ID: 11647553

Abstract:
A communication method and system for converging a 5th generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for performing, by a user equipment, dual connectivity in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving, from a base station, a configuration information associated with a dual uplink transmission, the configuration information being associated with an uplink transmission timing for a master cell group (MCG), identifying that capability information transmitted to the base station does not indicate capability for the configuration information for dual uplink transmission, dropping an uplink transmission for a secondary cell group (SCG), in case the uplink transmission for the SCG overlaps with an uplink transmission for the MCG, and transmitting, to the base station, the uplink transmission for the MCG based on the configuration information.
