Abstract
A method of accessing a network by using a virtual UE scheme and a UE thereto are disclosed. The method includes performing a first random access procedure for a first DU group including one or more DUs with respect to a base station, performing a second random access procedure for a second DU group with respect to the base station, while maintaining a connection of the first DU group with the base station, and communicating with the base station via the first DU group and the second DU group.
Claims7
A method of communicating with a cell by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving system information on the cell by performing a cell search;
- determining a number of distributed antenna units, for accessing the cell, based on the system information on the cell,
- wherein the UE comprises a plurality of distributed antenna units;
- performing, respectively, a random access procedure for each of the determined number of distributed antenna units with respect to the cell, based on different random access resources;
- and
- communicating with the cell via the determined number of distributed antenna units,
- wherein an identical radio bearer is configured for the determined number of distributed antenna units.
A user equipment (UE) for communicating with a cell, the UE comprising:
- a transmitter;
- a receiver;
- and
- a processor, operatively coupled to the transmitter and the receiver,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- control the receiver to receive system information on the cell by performing a cell search;
- determine a number of distributed antenna units, for accessing the cell, based on the system information on the cell,
- wherein the UE comprises a plurality of distributed antenna units;
- perform, respectively, a random access procedure for each of the determined number of distributed antenna units with respect to the cell, based on different random access resources;
- and
- communicate with the cell via the determined number of distributed antenna units, wherein an identical radio bearer is configured for the determined number of distributed antenna units.
