An apparatus and method for supporting a cooperative handover in a broadband wireless communication system. A method for operating a mobile station (MS) for a cooperative handover in a broadband wireless communication system includes determining a handover to a target BS and omitting a CID update process of the MS during the handover process to the target BS, wherein the CID of the MS is shared beforehand between a serving BS and the target BS.

Apparatus and method for supporting cooperative handover in broadband wireless communication system

An apparatus and a method manage power of a small base station. Whether a notify message indicating that a subscribed terminal enters a macro base station that includes an off-small base station is received from the macro base station under a closed access mode is determined. When the notify message is received, whether a service is providable to the subscribed terminal is determined. When the service is providable to the subscribed terminal, the small base station is turned on. During the closed access mode or when a load of a macro cell is large during an open access mode, when a terminal that should be serviced does not exist in the neighborhood of a small base station, an interference and power consumption unnecessarily generated may be reduced by turning off the small base station.

A method and system for managing an inactive interval of a Base Station (BS) are provided, in which the BS transmits a preferred Low-Duty Mode (LDM) pattern to a coordination server that manages LDM patterns of BSs, receives an LDM pattern from the coordination server, the LDM pattern being determined for the BS by the coordination server, taking into account the preferred LDM pattern and LDM patterns of neighbor BSs, and operates in an active interval and an inactive interval according to the received LDM pattern.

An apparatus and a method for selectively retransmitting data according to a channel state in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes determining retransmission information of a receiver from feedback information received from the receiver, determining a retransmission scheme for the receiver using the retransmission information of the receiver, and performing a retransmission process with the receiver according to the determined retransmission scheme. In a good channel state, the data is retransmitted using the retransmission scheme to thereby enhance the reliability of the data delivery and the reception performance. In a bad channel state, the data is not retransmitted to thereby reduce a waste of resources in the data retransmission.

Apparatus and method for retransmission in wireless communication system

A method for performing a handover by a subscriber station (SS) in a broadband wireless communication system including a serving base station (BS) communicating with the SS, and at least one neighbor BS neighboring the serving BS. The SS receives downlink signals from the serving BS and the neighbor BS; measures an arrival time difference between the downlink signal received from the serving BS and the downlink signal received from the neighbor BS; and transmits the measured arrival time difference to the serving BS.

Method and apparatus for performing fast handover through fast ranging in a broadband wireless communication system

An apparatus and method for controlling operation states of a medium access control layer by a mobile subscriber station (MSS) in a broadband wireless access communication system. The method includes: state-transitioning into a sleep state or an idle state when there is no data transmitted between a base station and the MSS during a predetermined first time interval in an awake state; and performing a location change in the idle state when the mobile subscriber station moves from a first paging zone to a second paging zone, and state-transiting into the awake state when the mobile subscriber station in the idle state detects a paging to the mobile subscriber station. The method minimizes power consumption and maximizes efficiency in use of radio resources.

A mobile communication system using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)/orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) scheme. The method for assigning ranging codes in the OFDM/OFDMA communication system includes classifying rangings between a base station and a mobile subscriber station (MSS) of the OFDM/OFDMA communication system into an initial ranging, a periodic ranging, a bandwidth request ranging, and a handover ranging. A first number of ranging codes used for the rangings are created and a second number of ranging codes selected from the first number of ranging codes are assigned as handover ranging codes used for the handover ranging.
