Abstract:
The present invention relates to efficient handover processing for a multi-mode mobile station supporting a licensed wireless system and unlicensed wireless system. A handover processing method using unlicensed mobile access (UMA) includes: checking, upon recognition of necessity of handover, neighbor cell information from a licensed wireless system; determining possibility of handover on the basis of the neighbor cell information; preventing, if handover is not possible, a handover-related operation, and maintaining an existing connection to the licensed wireless system; and performing, if handover is possible, handover to an associated unlicensed wireless system.

Abstract:
A logical channel establishment method for a mobile terminal is provided for improving network connection possibility and connection reliability. A logical channel establishment method of the present invention includes transmitting a resource request message for establishing a logical connection to an unlicensed wireless access network via a base station; retransmitting, when a resource request rejection message is received or no response message is received before a timer expires, the resource request message after a retry timer expires; and repeating retransmission of the resource request message a threshold number of retransmission times until a logical connection is established.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are disclosed, which adjusts the number of neighbor cells managed by a multi-mode portable terminal according to the system environment. The method includes measuring the network environment periodically and adaptively changing the number of neighbor cells of a licensed wireless system according to the measured network environment.

Abstract:
An improved handover method and apparatus for an Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology-enabled multi-mode mobile station is provided. A handover method of the present invention includes determining a handover during an active call session with an unlicensed wireless access network; sending a handover request message to the unlicensed wireless access network; and re-establishing, if no replay is received from the unlicensed wireless access network in a predetermined time in response to the handover request message, a connection to a licensed wireless access network for the active call session.

Abstract:
Provided is a cell reselection apparatus and method in a multi mode mobile terminal supporting at least two network access schemes different from each other. The method includes calculating a cell reselection criterion value for each of a serving cell and neighbor cells; subtracting a predetermined value from the cell reselection criterion value for each of the neighbor cells and updating the cell reselection criterion values of the neighbor cells, when a current communication mode is an Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) mode; and determining whether to perform cell reselection, using the calculated cell reselection criterion value of the serving cell and the updated cell reselection criterion values of the neighbor cells.
