Provided is a method for managing a cross-layer handover. The method includes the steps of: managing a predetermined number of neighbor cells as a handover candidate set based on signal strength and route estimation; transmitting a Measurement Report message having the handover candidate set information to a source base station according to a reporting event; and performing a handover according to a Handover Command message received from the source base station.

The present invention relates to a vertical handoff method. According to the present invention, a serving network of a mobile station is determined. Herein, the mobile station that can access a first network having relatively wide service coverage and a second network having relatively narrow service coverage in an area where service coverages of heterogeneous networks are overlapped. When accessing the serving network of the first network, it is determined whether a received signal strength received from the second network is greater than a first threshold value. In addition, a first vertical handoff is decided by using a result of prediction of a transition pattern of the received signal strength that is greater than the first threshold value. When the serving network is the second network, it is determined whether the received signal strength received from the second network is less than a second threshold value. By using a result of prediction of a transition pattern of the received signal strength that is less than the second threshold value, a second vertical handoff is decided. Herein, the first threshold value is greater than the second threshold value.

Method of vertical handoff

The present invention relates to a method of transmitting data in a handover between base stations. When a mobile terminal performs a handover between base stations in a wireless communication system, a gateway transmits data traffic to be transmitted to a mobile terminal by using an IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) to a serving base station being serviced to the mobile terminal and a target base station to which a handover of the mobile terminal is made in a bi-casting method. Accordingly, when the mobile terminal performs the handover between the base stations, the gateway transmits the data traffic in the bi-casting method. As a result, it is possible to efficiently use a resource of a user plane connection interval between the gateway and the base station, thereby minimizing the loss of data traffic transmitted in a downlink, that is, data.

The present invention relates to a device for providing a quality of service (QoS) of a hand-off between heterogeneous networks, and a method thereof. According to the present invention, the device includes a device for performing a QoS management function for each access system and a device for performing a QoS management function between heterogeneous access systems in a network including a plurality of interlocked access systems. The device for performing the QoS management function for each access system manages a user service session, a local QoS of the access system, and a QoS context of the service session. The device for performing the QoS management function between the heterogeneous access systems negotiates the QoS of the service session and manages the QoS context when the hand-off is performed between the heterogeneous access systems, and performs a QoS mapping operation.

Provided is a method for allocating an Internet protocol (IP) address to a mobile station in a mobile communication system. The method includes the steps of: a) receiving an 'Activate Packet Data Protocol (PDP) request' message including router solicitation from the mobile station; b) acquiring a global IP address of the mobile station by performing the router solicitation and a router advertisement procedure instead of the mobile station; and c) loading the acquired global IP address in an 'Activate PDP context Accept' message and transferring the &#x201c;Activate PDP context Accept&#x201d; message to the mobile station.
