Abstract:
A method for receiving a superframe header at a mobile station in a wireless mobile communication system is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a sub-frame including the superframe header and a first data channel and decoding the received superframe header. Herein, the superframe header is located within a predetermined physical frequency band and the pre-determined physical frequency band includes a synchronization channel.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting an expanding request in a wireless communication system is provided. A first cell transmits an expanding request, which includes a cell off state indication which indicates the first cell is going to be turned off, and a cell off timer, to a second cell, receives an expanding request acknowledge as a response to the expanding request from the second cell, and turns off power. Alternatively, a method and apparatus for transmitting a shrinking request in a wireless communication system is provided. The first cell transmits a shrinking request, which includes a cell on state indication which indicates the first cell is going to be turned on, and a cell on timer, to a second cell, receives a shrinking request acknowledge as a response to the shrinking request from the second cell, and turns on power.
Abstract:
A method for efficiently performing an initial access in an MS in a multi-carrier broadband wireless access system is disclosed. The method includes scanning a plurality of carriers supported by a BS, and selecting one of the scanned carriers as a first carrier and receiving an SFH of the first carrier. The SFH of the first carrier includes at least one of a field indicating load status of the first carrier and recommended network entry carrier information including information about a second carrier in good load status.

Abstract:
Provided are a method and an apparatus for confirming the validity of a candidate cooperative device list for client cooperation in a wireless communication system. A base station searches for at least one candidate cooperation device for a source device, then an effective period timer, for an effective time command list for a list of candidate cooperation devices for a source device, is initiated, and a determination is made as to whether the list of candidate cooperation devices is valid. The base station and the source device are connected through a first system, and the base station and one recommended candidate cooperation device selected from the list of candidate cooperation devices are connected through a second system.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving system information in a wireless communication system are disclosed. A method for receiving system information by a mobile station (MS) of a wireless communication system includes receiving a secondary superframe header (S-SFH) change cycle from a base station (BS), and receiving a primary superframe header information element (P-SFH IE) including a first field indicating a change count of a plurality of secondary superframe header subpacket information elements (S-SFH SP IEs) from the base station (BS). Once each of the plurality of S-SFH SP IEs is changed, each of the plurality of S-SFH SP IEs remains unchanged during one or more S-SFH change cycles.
