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 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.
Abstract:
Provided is a method in which a base station updates system information using a superframe structure in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: a step of transmitting a primary header containing system scheduling information related to updating system information; and a step of transmitting an updated secondary header. User equipment may determine when to apply the updated system information using the information applied in the secondary header.
Abstract:
A terminal transmits control information to a base station by using a periodically allocated dedicated channel. In further detail, the terminal checks control information that needs to be transmitted, detects a priority of the checked control information, and selects control information to be transmitted to the base station based on the detected priority. The terminal forms a PDU by multiplexing the selected control information, and transmits the PDU to the base station.
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:
An apparatus for determining modulation and coding schemes (MCS) allocates a plurality of feedback channels to a multicast group to which a plurality of terminals belong. The apparatus receives the feedback signal through one feedback channel selected according to the channel quality indicators of each terminal among a plurality of feedback channels from each terminal belonging to the multicast group, and determines the MCS for the multicast data from the feedback signal received in the plurality feedback channels.
Abstract:
In a forwarding method, at least one ARQ block contained in a first PDU is fragmented into a plurality of ARQ sub-blocks, and at least one second PDU is generated from the plurality of ARG sub-blocks. The second PDU contains an extension header and also a payload containing at least some of the ARQ sub-blocks from among the plurality of ARQ sub-blocks. The extension header contains a field showing the sequence number of the first ARQ sub-block belonging to the payload.
Abstract:
Provided is an interference avoiding method in a mobile communication system. A base station detects a preamble signal of another base station during an initial setting process or a time frame of a downlink transmission section to detect an adjacent interference base station or receive a report of information on the adjacent interference base station detected by a mobile station from the mobile station. When an adjacent interference base station is detected, the base station sets a common bandwidth from among the entire usage bandwidth as an interference avoiding bandwidth according to a defined rule. The base station allocates a subchannel in the interference avoiding bandwidth to a mobile station in a cell edge area adjacent to a cell of an interference base station.
Abstract:
A signal receiving method includes allocating a communication resource corresponding to a mobile station over a plurality of frames, transmitting allocation information on the communication resource to the mobile station, and receiving a transmitted signal through the communication resource. Therefore, the resource allocated on the frequency axis is minimized by allocating the resource to the mobile station over a plurality of frames, and the resource is allocated within the limited power of the mobile station, thereby improving radio performance.
Abstract:
When MBS information is updated, a base station transmits a first message which comprises: a service flow update identifier that identifies a method for expressing the current MBS identifier and flow identifier to be updated; information on the current MBS identifier and flow identifier expressed according to the method identified by the service flow update identifier; and new MBS information. A terminal transmits a second message to the base station in response to the first message.
