A handover method and apparatus in a communication system are provided. A serving Base Station (BS) alternately receives a target BS indicator and a downlink (DL) channel status from a Mobile Station (MS) at intervals of predetermined frames in a BS switching period for handover of the MS. The serving BS determines whether to continue the handover according to a signal received in a frame corresponding to a second reception of the target BS indicator. The method and apparatus provide a detailed definition of operation parameters for a switching time between the serving BS and a target BS.

Method and apparatus for handover in a communication system

An apparatus and method for managing quality of service (QoS) of a service flow in a wireless communication system are provided. A method of operating a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system includes receiving QoS policy information of mobile stations (MSs) from a network entity including a policy decision function (PDF) or from neighbor BSs, and storing the QoS policy information; detecting a mobile station attempting connection re-establishment; upon detecting the mobile station attempting connection re-establishment, evaluating a QoS policy of the mobile station; and controlling a state of a service flow generated for the mobile station according to the QoS policy.
