Method and apparatus for handling signals used for extended access class barring in a wireless communication

摘要

A method and apparatus for extended access barring (EAB) in a wireless communication system. In detail, the present description proposes EAB indication information, which is included in the paging message. The EAB indication information is included in the paging message only when as least one access class (AC) is barred by EAB operation of the network. Alternatively, the EAB indication information can be included in the paging message when EAB information in a system information block (SIB) has been changed or updated. Further, the present description proposes a timer associated with the EAB indication information. The timer is used to ensure the validity of the EAB indication information to the UE while the timer is running by a user equipment (UE). While the timer is running, a specific value or information indicated by the EAB indication information in a paging message is assumed to be valid/correct by the UE.
