Abstract:
A terminal identifying method identifies a terminal in a media access control layer, and includes allocating a station ID to the terminal for identifying the terminal, and allocating a flow ID to a connection in the terminal for identifying the connection in the terminal.
Abstract:
Provided is a protocol structure for a mobile station, base station, or relay station. The protocol structure comprises: a first function unit which, as a part of a media access control layer, controls and manages radio resources, and which is positioned on a control plane; and a second function unit which, as a part of the media access control layer, controls media access, and which is positioned on the control plane and data plane. The first function unit includes a variety of function blocks for supporting high reliability.
Abstract:
Provided is a group communication method for a terminal. A terminal establishes a group call connection with a first base station which belongs to a group call area, and receives group call data from the first base station. When the terminal moves into the coverage of a second base station which belongs to the group call area, the terminal receives group call data from the second base station, without re-registration in the second base station.
Abstract:
A base station transmits, to a mobile station, a first message comprising an index for a plurality of carriers and data for a plurality of carriers. The base station transmits, to the mobile station, a second message comprising a bitmap showing whether each of the plurality of carriers corresponds to a paging carrier used in the transmission of a paging message. The base station selects a paging transmission carrier for the mobile station from a plurality of carriers corresponding to paging carriers, and transmits a paging message via the selected paging transmission carrier.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a data-transmitting apparatus, which transmits a first control message to a data-receiving apparatus so as to allocate a first carrier serving as a subcarrier to the data-receiving apparatus, wherein said first control message contains information that the data-receiving apparatus requires for receiving multicast broadcast service (MBS) data. After the successful transmission of the first control message, the data-transmitting apparatus activates the first carrier to transmit MBS data to the data-receiving apparatus without the process of exchanging a second control message for activating a carrier. The data-transmitting apparatus transmits MBS data to the data-receiving apparatus via the first carrier.
Abstract:
In a method for setting the cycle of the low-duty mode in a femtocell base station, the cycle of the low-duty mode has a pattern in which available intervals and unavailable intervals repeatedly appear, and the available intervals are set in such a way as to include the paging listening interval of a paging cycle. In a method for setting the cycle of the low-duty mode in a femtocell base station having a service area overlapping a macrocell, the unavailable intervals are set with reference to the extent to which the service area of the femtocell base station overlaps the macrocell. In a method for setting the cycle of the low-duty mode in a plurality of femtocell base stations running in low-duty mode, the same cycle can be set in the plurality of base stations.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a femtocell search method for a handover from a macrocell to a femtocell. The present invention relates to a method for a terminal that accesses a macrocell to search a femtocell in an environment where a plurality of femtocells are overlapped in one macrocell. The terminal searches a femtocell by using a dummy preamble in order to minimize the size of neighbor cell lists broadcasted from the macrocell to the terminal. Therefore, according to the present invention, an MAC overhead can be minimized by eliminating neighbor femtocell lists in a mobile neighbor advertisement (MOB_NBR_ADV) message broadcasted from the macrocell, and the terminal can search a femtocell with a minimum scanning load by checking only a femtocell dummy preamble in a dedicated symbol of the macrocell.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a service-providing method for a femto cell, which provides a plurality of user equipments with two or more femto services at the same time, and to a transceiver for the method. In the event a femto base station supports two or more femto cell subscription schemes, the femto base station provides the user equipments which have subscribed to different femto cells with data services having qualities different from one another at the same time. The femto cell subscription schemes supported by the femto base station are advertised to user equipments via a PHY-level identifier or a MAC-level identifier. A CSG-closed femto cell provides a limited number of subscribers with high-quality data services, a CSG-open femto cell provides a limited number of subscribers with relatively lower quality data services, and an OSG femto cell provides all user equipments with the lowest quality data service regardless of whether or not the user equipments have subscribed to the femto cell.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of changing a frequency assignment (FA) status in an improved broadband wireless access system where terminals and base stations can communicate with each other by using a plurality of FAs. In the present invention, the base station changes the status of one of secondary FA into the status of the pFA in order to adjust a load of the primary FA, and communicates with the terminal through the pFA of which status is changed. For this purpose, the base station transmits a MAP information element (IE), which requests the change of the status of the pFA, to the terminal. The MAP IE includes an action code that requests the change of the status of the pFA, and a bit map representing an FA of which status is to be changed. When a response, which represents the completion of the change of the status of the pFA of the base station, is received from the terminal, the base station changes the status of the pFA and communicates with the pFA of the terminal through a new pFA. The status of a previous pFA between the base station and the terminal is changed into the status of the sFA, and the status of one previous sFA between the base station and the terminal is changed into the status of the pFA, so that communication is performed through new FAs. According to the present invention, since the base station can change the status of a specific terminal and FAs in use according to need, it is possible to adjust loads between the FAs. Further, the base station can change the statuses of the FAs in use while continuously maintaining the access of a specific terminal.
