In a system and method for handoff using a hybrid network, a wireless local area network (WLAN) terminal determines its own position information through communication with a code division multiple access (CDMA) base station and a global positioning system (GPS) satellite, and a cell mapping server obtains information about a WLAN cell where the WLAN terminal is currently located from the WLAN terminal position information, determines information about a cell to which the terminal is expected to be handed off from the current position of the WLAN terminal, and provides the cell information to the WLAN terminal. This allows handoff to be performed without scanning a destination access point, thereby significantly reducing WLAN handoff time.

System and method for handoff using hybrid network

In the broadband wireless access communication system, handover using compressed information is performed by receiving a compressed broadcast message in a portable terminal, acquiring operator information and sector information from the compressed broadcast message, acquiring a preamble number from one of the compressed broadcast message and pre-stored information, identifying a cell and a sector based on the preamble number, the operator information, and the sector information, and when a sector of a handover target cell is a sector of another cell, executing inter-cell handover.

Apparatus and method for performing handover using compressed information in broadband wireless access communication system

A wireless broadband (WiBro) station is capable of supporting Quality of Service (QoS), and a method provides the QoS service in a WiBro network. A High_MAC processor is additionally constructed to parse a packet inputted from an application layer, assigns a QoS class according to a feature of the parsed packet, and transmits the packet through a channel corresponding to the assigned QoS class, thereby performing a QoS service through a separate QoS processing module provided between the application layer and a Media Access Control (MAC) layer. Thus, a burden imposed on the MAC layer is reduced, and a faster QoS service is provided.
