Disclosed are a method for transmitting paging in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus therefor. Particularly, a method for transmitting, by a base station (eNB), paging in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving, from a mobility management entity (MME), a paging message including settings for retransmission of paging information by the base station; and transmitting the paging information to a terminal via a paging control channel (PCCH), wherein the paging information may be transmitted to the terminal by the base station a predetermined number of times.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for de-configuring a cell from PUCCH resource in a carrier aggregation system, the method comprising: configuring a Secondary Cell (SCell) with Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource; receiving a signaling indicating that the PUCCH resource is de-configured from the SCell; de-configuring the PUCCH resource from the SCell according to the signaling; and triggering a Power Headroom Reporting (PHR) when the PUCCH resource is de-configured from the SCell.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for initiating a random access procedure in a carrier aggregation system, the method comprising: receiving, from a network, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signal which configures a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource for a cell in a Timing Advance Group (TAG); checking whether a Time Alignment Timer (TAT) associated with the TAG to which the cell with PUCCH resource belong is running or not; and initiating a random access procedure if the associated TAT is not running.

A user terminal according to an embodiment is capable of executing dual connectivity. The user terminal comprises: a controller configured to execute the dual connectivity in which a first base station configured to establish an RRC connection with the user terminal and a second base station configured to provide an additional radio resource are used; and a transmitter configured to preferentially transmit, if a radio link failure is detected between the user terminal and the first base station, to the second base station, an RRC reestablishment request for reestablishing the RRC connection.

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) band communication is a very promising technology for 5G small cells. In practice, such a new system will coexist with legacy or evolved microwave band systems, such as E-UTRAN LTE macro-cell cellular systems, for a long time to come. Considering the typical scenarios where a macro cell offers umbrella coverage for clusters of small cells, several control plane (C-plane) architectural choices of macro-assisted 5G mmWave systems from both UE and network's perspectives are evaluated. Termed macro-assisted mmWave, an effective end-to-end integration of the futuristic mmWave small cells and microwave macro cells shall promise the benefits of both yet avoid individual limitations. The proposed On-demand Reconfiguration C-Place Architecture (ORCA) for Macro-assisted Millimeter Wave (mmWave) small cells is designed to meet 5G expectations of dense deployment of small cells and UEs and beamformed intermittent Gbps links.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication provide for split symbol control by varying tone spacing and symbol duration for control channels in a subframe. The control symbols may be transmitted at various locations within the subframe and may be transmitted to different mobile devices. In some examples, multiple control symbols may be transmitted in a subframe to multiple mobile devices depending on the capabilities of each of the multiple mobile devices.

A neutral home network (NHN) may support home-routed traffic between a user equipment (UE) and a network of a mobile network operator (MNO) associated with the UE. The NHN may transmit an access point name (APN) that indicates a public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier (ID) to the UE. If the NHN supports home-routed traffic, the NHN may transmit an APN that indicates an MNO PLMN ID. If the NHN does not support home-routed traffic, the NHN may transmit an APN that indicates an NHN PLMN ID. From the APN, the UE may determine whether the NHN supports home-routed traffic. If the NHN supports home-routed traffic, the UE may transmit a packet data network (PDN) connectivity request to the NHN. If the NHN does not support home-routed traffic, the UE may establish a tunnel to the MNO network through Internet access provided by the NHN.

Methods of combining semi-persistent resource allocation and dynamic resource allocation are provided. Packets, such as VoIP packets, are transmitted on the uplink and downlink using respective semi-persistent resources. For each mobile device, awake periods and sleep periods are defined. The semi-persistent resources are aligned with the awake periods so that most of the time the mobile device can turn off its wireless access radio during the sleep periods. In addition, signalling to request, and to allocate, resources for additional packets are transmitted during the awake periods, and the resources allocated for the additional packets are within the awake windows.

In a multi-carrier wireless system, potential problems from reconfiguring mobile station resources to accommodate changes in component-carrier configuration are mitigated by inserting a guard period each time the configuration of component carriers changes, so that transceiver reconfiguration can be carried out without interfering with ongoing transmission. A base station is configured to transmit data to a mobile station according to a first configuration of two or more component carriers, to determine that a change of configuration to a second component-carrier configuration is required, and to signal the change of configuration to the mobile station, using the first configuration of component carriers. The base station then refrains from transmitting data to the mobile station during a pre-determined guard interval of at least one transmission-time interval subsequent to the signaling of the change of configuration. After the guard interval, data is transmitted to the mobile station according to the second component-carrier configuration.

A method of controlling packet switched data transmission functionality for a mobile device in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises disabling the packet switched data transmission functionality, and being allowed to initiate a telephony service via a circuit switched fallback functionality or via an internet protocol multimedia subsystem signaling even when the packet switched data transmission functionality is disabled.
