摘要:
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.

A method for controlling a sleep mode operation by a mobile station (MS) in a communication system. In the sleep mode operation control method, after entering a sleep mode, the MS transitions to an awake state in a listening interval. When there is data to transmit or receive to/from a base station (BS) in the awake state, the MS causes a neutral interval following the listening interval to transition to the awake state, and transmits or receives the data. The neutral interval is an interval where transition to the awake state and sleep state is available according to the data transmission/reception of the MS operating in the sleep mode.

Disclosed are an apparatus and method of a Relay Station (RS) in a multihop relay Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) communication system. The method includes an RS for receiving a signal level threshold of the MS from a Base Station (BS), measuring a signal level of the MS, and transmitting the MS signal level to the BS when the measured signal level is greater than the signal level threshold; and the BS for transmitting the MS signal level threshold to one or more RSs and receiving MS signal levels from the RSs.

A method of requesting and allocating an upstream bandwidth in an RS in a multi-hop relay BWA communication system is provided. The RS receives an upstream bandwidth request message including an upstream bandwidth from at least one MS for a predetermined time period, detects the requested upstream bandwidth from the upstream bandwidth request message, calculates a total requested upstream bandwidth by summing the requested upstream bandwidth from the at least one MS, generates a new upstream bandwidth request message including the total requested upstream bandwidth, and sends the new upstream bandwidth request message to a BS.

A CID management method and apparatus in a multi-hop relay BWA communication system are provided. A BS combines data destined for an RS and data to be relayed to an MS via the RS in a payload, distinguishing the data by CIDs, attaches a relay CID to the payload, and sends the payload with the relay CID to the RS. Among the data of the payload, the RS processes its data and relays to the MS the data destined for the MS by distinguishing them by the CIDs.

A decoding method in a communication system using a Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code. The method includes determining whether an LDPC codeword to be decoded is a general LDPC codeword to which a puncturing scheme is not applied or a punctured LDPC codeword to which the puncturing scheme is applied; if the LDPC codeword to be decoded is the punctured LDPC codeword, generating a child parity check matrix according to a mother parity check matrix indicative of a parity check matrix of the general LDPC codeword, and a puncturing pattern applied to the punctured LDPC codeword; and decoding the punctured LDPC codeword according to the child parity check matrix.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for supporting an MS-initiated handover in a multi-hop relay BWA communication system are provided. An MS determines whether a handover is required by measuring the strengths of signals received from neighbor BSs and neighbor RSs. If the handover is required, the MS sends to a serving station a handover request message including MS-recommended target neighbor node list information, and receives from the serving station a handover response message including serving station-recommended target neighbor node list information.
摘要:
Provided are an apparatus and a method for handling a handover in multi-hop relay Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) system. In a communication method of a Relay Station (RS) in a multi-hop relay BWA system, a handover request message including a candidate node list is received from a Base Station (BS), the handover request message is sent to a Mobile Station (MS), and a handover indication message is received from the MS, the handover indication message indicating whether to perform a handover. Communication persistence can be provided for the MS having mobile characteristics, and cell load management and RS configuration/arrangement can be easily accomplished.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for negotiating an RS capability in a multi-hop relay BWA communication system are provided. A BS receives a message including RS capability information from a node which has initially been connected. The BS determines whether to activate a relay function for the node according to the RS capability information and sends to the node a message indicating whether the relay function will be activated for the node.
摘要:
An apparatus and method of controlling an action change gap interval in a multi-hop relay cellular network, includes constructing a first symbol included in a first frame as a first interval for a first action change and a second interval for exchanging data; and constructing a last symbol included in the first frame as a first interval for exchanging data and a second interval for a second action change. Accordingly, the system capacity and the system efficiency can be raised by reducing the overhead due to the action change gap in the cellular network.
