APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING E2 NODE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

The present disclosure relates to a 5th-Generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method performed by a near real-time (RT) Radio Access Network (RAN) Intelligent Controller (RIC) comprises a step of receiving an RIC indication message from an E2 node, where the RIC indication message comprises user equipment (UE)-related information, the UE-related information comprises information for indicating a Radio Resource Control (RRC) state, the RRC state may be one of a plurality of states including an RRC connected state, an RRC inactive state, and an RRC idle state. 本公开涉及一种用于支持比诸如长期演进(LTE)的第4代(4G)通信系统更高的数据传输速率的第5代(5G)或准5G通信系统。根据本公开的实施例，一种由近实时(RT)无线电接入网络(RAN)智能控制器(RIC)执行的方法包括从E2节点接收RIC指示消息的步骤，其中该RIC指示消息包括用户设备(UE)相关信息，该UE相关信息包括用于指示无线电资源控制(RRC)状态的信息，并且该RRC状态可以是包括RRC连接状态、RRC非活动状态和RRC空闲状态的多个状态之一。
