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 performed an open radio access network (O-RAN) central unit-control plane (O-CU-CP) in a communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a network node for managing a mobility, an initial context setup message including an identifier of a user equipment (UE);
- identifying the identifier of the UE;
- identifying a UE identity (UE ID) of the UE;
- and
- transmitting, to a near-real time RAN intelligent controller (RIC), an indication message for a report, the indication message including the UE ID and information associated with the UE per the UE ID,
- wherein the UE ID comprises a radio access network (RAN) UE ID for identifying the UE uniquely for E1 interface.
A method of a near-real time RAN intelligent controller (RIC) in a communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an open radio access network (O-RAN) central unit-control plane (O-CU-CP), an indication message for a report, the indication message including a user equipment identity (UE ID) and information associated with a UE per the UE ID;
- and
- storing the received UE ID,
- wherein the UE ID comprises a radio access network (RAN) UE ID for identifying the UE uniquely for E1 interface.
An apparatus for controlling an open radio access network (O-RAN) central unit-control plane (O-CU-CP) in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, from a network node for managing a mobility, an initial context setup message including an identifier of a user equipment (UE);
- identify the identifier of the UE;
- identify a UE identity (UE ID) of the UE;
- and
- transmit, to a near-real time RAN intelligent controller (RIC), an indication message for a report, the indication message including the UE ID and information associated with the UE per the UE ID,
- wherein the UE ID comprises a radio access network (RAN) UE ID for identifying the UE uniquely for E1 interface.
An apparatus for controlling a near-real time RAN intelligent controller (RIC) in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, from an open radio access network (O-RAN) central unit-control plane (O-CU-CP), an indication message for a report, the indication message including a user equipment identity (UE ID) and information associated with a UE per the UE ID;
- and
- store the received UE ID,
- wherein the UE ID comprises a radio access network (RAN) UE ID for identifying the UE uniquely for E1 interface.
