`
`more
`
`particularly,
`
`a method
`
`for efficiently
`
`transmitting data

`
`user equipment in uplink includes receiving an uplink
`
`(UP)
`
`Grant signal
`
`from a base station on a specific message,
`
`determining whether
`
`there is data stored in a message 3
`
`(Msg3) buffer when receiving
`
`the UL Grant signal on
`
`the
`
`specific message, determining whether the specific message is
`
`a
`
`random access response message, and transmitting the data
`
`stored in the Msg3 buffer to the base station using the UL
`
`Grant signal received on the specific message, if there is
`
`data stored in the Msg3 buffer when receiving the UL Grant
`
`signal on the specific message and the specific message is
`
`the random access response message.

`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`Field of the Invention
`
`[0003] The
`
`present
`
`invention
`
`relates
`
`to
`
`a mobile
`
`communication technology, and more particularly, to a method
`
`for efficiently
`
`transmitting data stored
`
`in a message 3
`
`(Msg3) buffer and a user equipment for the same.
`
`Discussion of the Related Art
`
`[0004] As an example of a mobile communication system to
`
`which the present invention is applicable, a 3rd Generation
`
`Partnership
`
`Project
`
`Long
`
`Term
`
`Evolution
`

`
`LTE)
`
`communication system will be schematically described.

`
`FIG.
`

`
`is a
`
`schematic view showing
`
`the network
`
`architecture of an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunication

`
`OPP-TZ-2009-0151-US-00
`
`System
`
`(E-UMTS)
`
`as an example of a mobile communication
`
`system.
`
`[0006] The E-UMTS is evolved from the existing UMTS and
`
`has been currently standardized in the 3GPP.
`
`Generally, the
`
`E-UMTS may be called an LTE system.
`
`[0007] An E-UMTS network may be largely divided into an
`
`Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network
`
`(E-UTRAN) 101
`
`and a Core Network
`
`(CN) 102.
`
`The E-UTRAN 101 may include a
`
`User Equipment
`
`(UE)
`
`103,
`
`a
`
`base station
`
`(hereinafter,
`
`referred to as an "eNode B" or "eNB") 104, and an Access
`
`Gateway
`
`(AG) 105 positioned at the end of the network and
`
`connected to an external network.
`
`The AG 105 may be divided
`
`into a portion for processing user traffic and a portion for
`
`processing control
`
`traffic.
`
`At
`
`this
`
`time,
`
`an AG
`
`for
`
`processing new user traffic and an AG for processing control
`
`traffic may communicate with each other using a new interface.
`
`[0008] One or more cells may exist in one eNode B.
`
`A
`
`plurality of eNode Bs may be connected by an interface for
`
`transmitting the user traffic or control traffic. The CN 102
`
`may include the AG 105 and a node for registering a user of
`
`the UE 103. An interface for distinguishing between the E-
`
`UTRAI\J 101 and the CN 102 may be used.
`
`[0009] Layers of radio interface protocol between the UE
`
`and the network may be classified into a first layer L1, a
`
`second layer L2 and a
`
`third layer L3 based on three lower
`
`3
`
`EVOLVED-0003060
`
`SAMSUNG 1006-0025

`OPP-TZ-2009-0151-US-00
`
`layers of an Open System Interconnection
`
`(OSI)
`
`reference
`
`model
`
`that is widely known
`
`in the field of cormnunication
`
`systems.
`
`A physical
`
`layer belonging
`
`to
`
`the first
`
`layer
`
`provides an
`
`information transfer service using a physical
`
`channel. A Radio Resource Control
`
`(RRC)
`
`layer belonging to
`
`the third layer serves to control radio resources between the
`
`UE and the network.
`
`The UE and the network exchange an RRC
`
`message via the RRC layer. The RRC layer may be distributed
`
`and located at network nodes of the eNode B 104 and the AG
`
`105. Alternatively, the RRC layer may be located at only the
`
`eNode B 104 or the AG 105.

`and
`

`
`show
`
`the structures of
`
`radio
`
`interface protocols between the UE and the UTRAN based on a

`3GPP radio access network standard.
