Abstract:
A scanning apparatus and method in a multi-hop relay Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) communication system are provided. In the scanning method, a Mobile Subscriber Station (MSS) sends a scan request message requesting scanning to a Base Station (BS) via a Relay Station (RS). The BS sends a scan response message containing information for the scanning of the MSS to the MSS via the RS. The BS then sends a scan notify message indicating the scanning of the MSS to the RS.
Abstract:
A method for performing a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) operation in a wireless mobile communication system that uses Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) or Time Division Duplex (TDD) frames each having a plurality of subframes for communication are provided, in which an HARQ timing including a transmission time of a data burst and a transmission time of an HARQ feedback, for DL HARQ is determined according to data burst assignment information transmitted in a #l DownLink (DL) subframe of a #i frame, and an HARQ operation is performed according to the determined HARQ timing. At least one frame index and at least one subframe index that represent the HARQ timing are determined by using l and i.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus and method for an upper node in a communication system. The communication method includes assigning a Connection IDentifier (CID) set to a Relay Station (RS), generating a CID assignment message including information on the assigned CID set, and transmitting the CID assignment message to the RS.
Abstract:
Provided is a system and method for notifying completion of a network re-entry procedure in a communication system. In the system, a mobile station (MS) completes the network re-entry procedure with a base station (BS), and then notifies the completion of the network re-entry procedure to the BS.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for relaying neighbor BS in a multi-hop relay broadband wireless access (BWA) communication system are provided. In the BWA communication system, a BS transmits a neighbor BS advertisement message to a relay station (RS) within a cell area of the BS. The RS configures a relay neighbor BS advertisement message by eliminating unavailable neighbor BS information from the neighbor BS advertisement message, and broadcasts the relay neighbor BS advertisement message in a cell area of the RS.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a material for forming a protective layer, a protective layer employing the material and a PDP with the protective layer. Unlike conventional protective layers which employ MgO created in conditions of pressurized artificial gas, the instant protective layer uses MgO created by heating Mg and allowing it to oxidize naturally in air. The result is MgO with fewer defects that is more effective as a protective layer in many uses, such as in a PDP. The instant MgO also shows many specific spectral characteristics and contains impurities in amounts of less than about 2 ppm each. Also disclosed is a PDP which takes advantage of the advantages of the inventive protective layer.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for notifying a change of system control information in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes, changing a Group Configuration Change Counter (GCCC) and upon change of a Secondary-Super Frame Header/Sub-Packet1 (S-SFH/SP1) whose transmission period is changeable within a range of one or more super frames, changing the GCCC and information representing the change of the common control message upon change of at least one common control message, and transmitting the GCCC and the information representing the change of the at least one common control message.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for maintaining backward compatibility with a narrow-band wireless communication system in a wide-band wireless communication system is provided. The base station comprises a scheduler, a control information generator, a resource mapping unit and a transmitter. The terminal comprises a resource allocation information checking unit, a receiver and a transmitter.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for providing relay link zone information in a multi-hop relay BWA communication system, where a BS performs a network entry procedure with an RS during an initial access of the RS to the BS, generates a message including relay link zone information regarding a relay link zone in which the BS communicates with the RS, processes the message in a physical layer, and transmits the processed message to the RS.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for configuring a subframe to support a relay service in a multi-hop relay BWA communication system are provided, in which a first zone of a subframe is configured for at least one of communication between a BS and a first MS within the coverage area of the BS and communication between at least one RS and a second MS within the coverage area of the at least one RS, and a second zone of the subframe is configured for at least one of communication between the BS and the at least one RS and communication between the at least one RS and another RS.
