Abstract
A method and an apparatus for identifying a user in a radio access network (RAN), and a first node in the wireless communication system are provided. The method includes identifying a unique identifier of a UE, identifying a radio access network (RAN) UE identifier of the UE, and transmitting information related to a mapping relation between the RAN UE identifier and the unique identifier of the UE to a second node, based on the unique identifier of the UE.
Claims22
A method of a first node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- identifying a unique identifier of a user equipment (UE);
- identifying a radio access network (RAN) UE identifier of the UE based on the unique identifier of the UE;
- and
- transmitting, to a second node, information related to a mapping relation between the RAN UE identifier and the unique identifier of the UE,
- wherein the first node and the second node correspond to network nodes within a base station,
- wherein the unique identifier of the UE is identified based on first information transmitted from the UE and second information transmitted from a network entity, and
- wherein the RAN UE identifier corresponds to a unique identifier of the UE over interfaces between network nodes, including the first node and the second node, within a base station.
A method of a second node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first node, information related to a mapping relation between a radio access network (RAN) UE identifier and a unique identifier of the UE;
- identifying the unique identifier of the UE and the RAN UE identifier based on the information related to the mapping relation;
- and
- processing information on the UE received from at least one of a third node and a fourth node, based on the RAN UE identifier of the UE,
- wherein the first node and the second node correspond to network nodes within a base station,
- wherein the unique identifier of the UE is identified based on first information transmitted from the UE and second information transmitted from a network entity, and
- wherein the RAN UE identifier corresponds to a unique identifier of the UE over interfaces between network nodes, including the first node and the second node, within a base station.
An apparatus for controlling a first node in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- identify a unique identifier of a UE,
- identify a radio access network (RAN) UE identifier of the UE based on the unique identifier of the UE, and
- transmit, by the transceiver to a second node, information related to a mapping relation between the RAN UE identifier and the unique identifier of the UE,
- wherein the first node and the second node correspond to network nodes within a base station,
- wherein the unique identifier of the UE is identified based on first information transmitted from the UE and second information transmitted from a network entity, and
- wherein the RAN UE identifier corresponds to a unique identifier of the UE over interfaces between network nodes, including the first node and the second node, within a base station.
An apparatus for controlling a second node in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, by the transceiver from a first node, information related to a mapping relation between a radio access network (RAN) UE identifier and a unique identifier of the UE,
- identify the unique identifier of the UE and the RAN UE identifier based on the information related to the mapping relation, and
- process information on the UE received from at least one of a third node and a fourth node, based on the RAN UE identifier of the UE,
- wherein the first node and the second node correspond to network nodes within a base station,
- wherein the unique identifier of the UE is identified based on first information transmitted from the UE and second information transmitted from a network entity, and
- wherein the RAN UE identifier corresponds to a unique identifier of the UE over interfaces between network nodes, including the first node and the second node, within a base station.
