Abstract:
The present invention relates to a power saving in a wireless local area network including a plurality of access points providing at least one mobile station in each access point cell boundary with access service, the mobile station transits between an active mode and an idle mode. The power saving method includes grouping the access points into at least one paging group with a paging group boundary; determining if the a mobile station is in the idle mode in which the mobile station switches between an awake state and a doze state every predetermined time interval, or the active mode in which the mobile station is in the awake mode; and if the mobile station is in the idle mode enabling an idle handoff which occurs only when the mobile station crosses the paging group boundary. In the present invention, the handoff occurs when the mobile terminal crosses the paging group boundary but not the access point cell in the idle mode, resulting in reduction of power consumption.

Abstract:
A method for scanning access points during mobile station's handoff in a wireless communication system, a mobile station for performing the same, a network interface for supporting the same, and a wireless communication system applied with the same are provided to search an access point existing in an available channel during a scanning operation of the mobile station and obtain access point information of the searched access point, thereby minimizing scanning latency. A method for scanning access points comprises the following steps of: transmitting query data to one or more access points(201,202) with respect to a predetermined channel(351); receiving response data to the query data from the access point existing in the channel; request access point information to the access point which has transmitted the response data; and receiving the access point information from the access point(353).

Abstract:
A method for saving power in a WLAN access point based on IEEE 802.11 is provided to set a part for turning off a radio to a super frame, and prevent stations from transmitting data to an access point during the part by using a virtual carrier sensing scheme defined in IEEE 802.11 standards, thereby increasing a lifetime of a WLAN access point operating with limited battery power. A method for saving power in a WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) access point based on IEEE(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 comprises the following steps. A super frame is divided into a listen part(101), a service part(102) and a sleep part(103). In the listen part, data transmitted from a station(12) is received. In the service part, data is transmitted to the station. In the sleep part, a radio is turned off to stay in a sleep state. By transmitting a 'CTS-TO-SELF' frame having a predetermined duration value to the station in the sleep part, the station can recognize that a channel is currently used.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A femto cell search method for macro to femto handover is provided to minimize the MAC(Media Access Control) overhead by excluding the neighbor femto cell list within the base station advertise message MOB NBR ADV(Mobile Neighbor Advertisement) message which the macro cell transmits. CONSTITUTION: A terminal broadcasts the respective dummy preamble to the exclusive symbol assigned in the first base station(S130). The terminal decides the dummy preamble coincides for the triggering condition(S150). The terminal creates the femto cell information request message in the first base station(S160). The first base station transmits the femto cell information response message in the terminal(S190). The femto cell information response message comprises the neighbor femto cell list about obtained femto cell IDs. The terminal looks for the candidate base station(S200).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A terminal, a method for handover thereof, and a supporting method for the handover of a base station are provided to efficiently generate and manage a neighboring base station list including femto cell information in order for a terminal to perform a handover process in a condition in which a plurality of femto cells and macro cells are superimposed. CONSTITUTION: A macro base station(100) manages a macro cell(10). The macro cell includes a plurality of femto cells(21,22,23) managed by the plurality of femto base stations(210,220,230). The macro cell represents a cell that is larger than the femto cell. The femto base stations represent very small base stations for providing a wireless communication service to small areas and manage the femto cell. For example, they are installed in a blanket area where propagation of other cells is degraded such as a house or a building to acquire a high quality mobile communication service. A terminal(300) represents the end terminal of a radio channel and accesses the femto base stations or the macro base station to transmit/receive data. The terminal performs a scan process based on the neighboring base station list broadcast by the macro base station. The terminal acquires measurement information on the neighboring macro base stations through the scan process. The measurement information includes information that can influence the handover such as RSSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator), CNR(Carrier to Noise Ratio), and SINR(Signal to Interference Noise Ratio).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An identification method and a device for generating a protocol data unit are provided to reduce a size of a PDU(Protocol Data Unit) header by including a flow identifier in a PDU header. CONSTITUTION: A media access control layer of a base station(10) allocates a station identifier for distinguishing a terminal in a cell(20) to the terminal(S110). The station identifier is allocated to the terminal when the terminal enters or reenters the network. The media access control layer allocates the flow identifier for distinguishing the connection in the terminal to the corresponding connection in the terminal(S120). The media access control layer of the base station transmits the flow identifier allocated to the corresponding connection to a header of the PDU(S130). The media access control layer divides the media access control identifier into the station identifier and the flow identifier. Each connection is distinguished by the combination of the station identifier and the flow identifier.
