The UECapabilityInformation includes a second capability information related to PRS measurement. The provideCapabilities includes a first capability information related to PRS measurement.

Abstract: A method for random access is provided. Method for random access includes receiving a SIB 1, selecting a normal uplink or a supplementary uplink based on rsrp-ThresholdSSB-SUL, selecting message 3 repetition mode based on a rsrp-Threshold2 of the supplementary uplink if the supplementary uplink is selected, selecting a SSB based on a rsrp-ThresholdSSB in the fourth random access related information if message 3 repetition mode is selected, selecting a preamble group based on a preamble reception target power in a first information element of the fourth random access related information and a first offset in a second information element of the fourth random access related information, determining transmission power of a preamble based on the preamble reception target power and a prach-ConfigurationIndex in the fourth random access related information, transmitting the preamble, receiving a RAR via a specific SearchSpace and determining a number of message 3 repetition.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for accessing a NR cell in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for accessing a NR cell includes receiving in a first cell, by a terminal from a base station, a System Information Block1 and performing, by the terminal, random access procedure based on a timeAlignmnetTimer in the first uplink configuration and a second pucch-ConfigCommon in the second uplink configuration.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for accessing a NR cell in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for accessing a NR cell includes receiving, by a terminal from a base station, a System Information Block1, determining, by the terminal, a preamble format and a subframe and a starting symbol based on the prach-ConfigurationIndex included in the first RACH-ConfigCommon if the second RACH-ConfigCommon is not included in the ServingCellConfigCommon and the prach-ConfigurationIndex included in the second RACH-ConfigCommon if the second RACH-ConfigCommon is included in the ServingCellConfigCommon and transmitting, by the terminal, the preamble based at least in part on the preamble format and the subframe and the starting symbol.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a NR cell in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for selecting a NR cell includes selecting, by a terminal, a first cell, performing, by the terminal a first operation group if the terminal fails to acquire MIB in the first cell and performing, by the terminal a second operation group if the terminal succeeds to acquire MIB and SIB1 in the first cell and the MIB includes cellBarred set to barred and the SIB1 includes a intraFreqReselection set to NotAllowed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a NR cell in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for selecting a NR cell includes selecting, by a terminal, a first cell, acquiring, by the terminal in the first cell, a MIB, acquiring, by the terminal in the first cell, a SIB1 based at least in part on a first information in the MIB, considering, by the terminal, the first cell as barred, performing, by the terminal a first operation group if the SIB1 received in the first cell does not include a intraFreqReselection and performing, by the terminal a second operation group if the SIB1 received in the first cell includes the intraFreqReselection and the second intraFreqReselection is set to NotAllowed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for accessing a NR cell in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for accessing a NR cell includes receiving in a first cell, by a terminal from a base station, a System Information Block1, monitoring, by the terminal, Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for Random Access Response based at least in part on a specific ra-ResponseWindow and a specific ra-SearchSpace.
