Disclosed are a system and a method for optimizing a handover process in a mobile broadband wireless access system. The method performs handover in a mobile communication system including a mobile subscriber station, a serving base station currently providing service to the mobile subscriber station, and at least one neighbor base stations adjacent to the serving base station. The method includes the steps of receiving a handover request from the mobile subscriber station by the serving base station; instructing the mobile subscriber station to perform handover by the serving base station in response to the handover request from the mobile subscriber station and performing by the mobile subscriber station a network reentry process for fast handover in accordance with information included in a handover instruction from the serving base station.

System and method for optimizing handover in mobile communication system

A handover method and system in a communication system. In the method, a serving Base Station (BS) broadcasts neighbor BS information including BS identifiers and preamble indices of a plurality of neighbor BSs, receives a handover request message from a Mobile Station (MS), the handover request message including a first set of at least one BS identifier and at least one preamble index for at least one neighbor BS among the plurality of neighbor BSs, and transmits a handover response message to the MS, the handover response message including a second set of at least one BS identifier and at least one preamble index for at least one recommended neighbor BS.

System for handover in BWA communication system and method thereof

An apparatus and method for using an Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) in a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) communication system are provided. In a transmitting method of a wireless communication system, a Media Access Control (MAC) layer creates a packet and transmits it to a physical layer, the physical layer generates a Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) burst using the packet received from the MAC layer and transmits it, the physical layer generates a HARQ ending signal and transmits it to the MAC layer when HARQ transmission of the packet is discontinued, and the MAC layer drives an ARQ retransmission timer for the packet in response to the HARQ ending signal.

Apparatus and method for using automatic repeat request scheme in a broadband wireless access communication system

Disclosed is a handover system in a BWA communication system. In the system, a serving BS broadcasts neighbor BS information including BS identifiers of a plurality of neighbor BSs and reference signal indices indicating reference signals used by the neighbor BSs, a MS receives the neighbor BS information and requests a scanning interval to the serving BS at a timing point at which the MS wants to perform a scanning, the serving BS allocates the scanning interval to the MS in response to a request for the scanning interval, and the MS scans reference signals received from the neighbor BSs during the scanning interval in response to the neighbor BS information.
