Abstract
Methods and apparatuses in a wireless communication system. A method of operating a base station (BS) includes generating an indicator indicating that the BS is capable of supporting a high-capacity radio network temporary identifier (HC-RNTI), wherein a size of the HC-RNTI is based on a configurable granularity; generating a system information block including the indicator and information indicating the size of the HC-RNTI; transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), the system information block; and transmitting, to the UE, the HC-RNTI, wherein the HC-RNTI is allocated to the UE.
Claims20
A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- generate an indicator indicating that the BS is capable of supporting a high-capacity radio network temporary identifier (HC-RNTI), wherein a size of the HC-RNTI is based on a configurable granularity;
- and
- generate a system information block including the indicator and information indicating the size of the HC-RNTI;
- and
- a transceiver operably connected to the processor, the transceiver configured to:
- transmit, to a user equipment (UE), the system information block;
- and
- transmit, to the UE, the HC-RNTI, wherein the HC-RNTI is allocated to the UE.
A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive, from a base station (BS), a system information block including an indicator and information indicating a size of a high-capacity radio network temporary identifier (HC-RNTI), wherein the size of the HC-RNTI is based on a configurable granularity;
- and
- a processor operably connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to identify the indicator indicating that the BS is capable of supporting the HC-RNTI, and the size of the HC-RNTI,
- wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive, from the BS, the HC-RNTI, wherein the HC-RNTI is allocated to the UE.
A method of a base station (BS) a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
