Patent ID: 11700644

Abstract:
A terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The terminal includes a transceiver, and at least one processor configured to receive, from BS, a RRC reconfiguration message including a reconfiguration with synchronization, transmit, to the BS, a first message including a PRACH, a PUSCH, and a C-RNTI MAC CE based on the reconfiguration with synchronization, control the transceiver to receive, from the BS, a first PDCCH and a PDSCH, wherein: for the case when the BS receives the PRACH and does not receive the PUSCH, the first PDCCH is a PDCCH addressed to RA-RNTI and the PDSCH includes a fallback RAR; and for the case when the BS receives the PUSCH, the first PDCCH is a PDCCH addressed to a C-RNTI corresponding to the C-RNTI MAC CE and the PDSCH includes an absolute timing advance command MAC CE, determine that a RAR reception is successful based on the at least one of the fallback RAR or the PDSCH, when a DRX is configured for the terminal via a RRC signalling, determine that active time for the DRX includes a time while a second PDCCH indicating new transmission addressed to a C-RNTI corresponding to the C-RNTI MAC CE has not been received after determining that the RAR reception is successful, and monitor the second PDCCH during the active time.
