Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for providing a service in a next-generation wireless communication system are provided. The method includes transmitting, upon recognizing an initial access by a Subscriber Station (SS), resource allocation information indicating resources allocated for channel quality reports by the SS to the SS by a master Base Station (BS) serving the SS, determining at least one slave BS that serves the SS and constitutes a first cloud cell, using the channel quality reports received from the SS, and exchanging data with the SS together with the at least one slave BS.
Abstract:
A method for providing a cooperative communication service by a macro Base Station (BS) in a mobile communication system is provided. The method includes generating at least one small cell BS group by grouping small cell BSs if there are small cell BSs of which a number is equal to or larger than a threshold small cell BS number within a service coverage of the macro BS, establishing a cooperative interface with a representative small cell BS among small cell BSs included in the at least one small cell BS group, and providing a cooperative communication service with the at least one small cell BS group using the cooperative interface.
Abstract:
A method of determining member Base Stations (BSs) providing cooperative communication to a Mobile Station (MS) in a communication system. The method includes when a candidate list of the member BSs generated using at least one of strengths of signals received from adjacent BSs and cell loading state information of the adjacent BSs is received from the MS, selecting candidate BSs having a service quality larger than or equal to a threshold from candidate BSs included in the candidate list as targets to receive a member negotiation; and performing a capability negotiation with each of the selected targets to receive the member negotiation to select final member BSs and transmitting information on the determined final member BSs to the MS.

The method comprises identifying a bandwidth of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access physical protocol data unit (OFDMA PPDU) by at least one of a primary channel or at least one secondary channel, and nulling a plurality of tones of OFDMA PPDU for the at least one secondary channel sensed busy. The method further comprises transmitting, to a station (STA), a bandwidth signaling sub-field in high efficiency signal-A (HE-SIG-A) field included in a high efficiency multi-user PPDU (HE MU PPDU) indicating availability of at least one content channel, wherein the at least one content channel of high efficiency signal-B (HE-SIG-B) field on the downlink signal including a primary channel and one or more secondary channels that comprise a plurality of OFDMA PPDUs.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for providing a service by a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system. The method includes setting up a radio link to a Mobile Station (MS) to provide the service; receiving BS information from at least one BS that cooperates to provide the service; and selecting an alternative BS for replacing the BS from among the at least one BS based on the BS information.
Abstract:
An AP receives, from one or more STAs, an uplink orthogonal frequency division multiple access based block acknowledgement response in an 802.11 based wireless network. The AP transmits the downlink allocation for the downlink frame to the plurality of mobile devices, wherein the order of the plurality of mobile devices in the downlink allocation indicates respective uplink resource assignments. The STA receives a downlink frame with an allocation comprising the listing of a plurality of mobile devices for which data is transmitted in the downlink frame. The STA identifies an uplink resource allocation as a function of a location of a first mobile device within the listing of the plurality of mobile devices. The STA then transmits an acknowledgment on the uplink resource allocation corresponding to the location of a first mobile device within the listing of the plurality of mobile devices.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for operating a Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Subscriber Station (SS) for a time-controlled service in an M2M communication system. The M2M SS registers the time-controlled service. The M2M SS establishes a service flow with an M2M Base Station (BS), after registering the time-controlled service. Data is transferred, from the M2M SS, to the M2M BS, through the service flow during an access admission time period. Transmission of the data to the M2M BS is ceased during an access restriction time period.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for providing a service to a Mobile Station (MS) by a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) operating in cooperation in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes configuring, by a master BS, a first cooperative cell including at least one slave BS, sending a resource request message for requesting resource allocation to the at least one slave BS included in the first cooperative cell, receiving, from each of the at least one slave BS, a resource request response message including resource approval control results for the resource allocation request, changing member BSs constituting the first cooperative cell based on the resource request response message, and allocating resources to an MS that is served in the first cooperative cell.
