Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for managing an access state of a terminal for a group communication service in a wireless communication system are provided. In a method for operating a terminal for a group communication service in a wireless communication system, a bandwidth ranging message is transmitted to a base station in an idle state. The terminal is allocated an uplink resource from the base station. A message for access state transfer including a multicast Connection IDentifier (CID) is generated. The message for access state transfer is transmitted to the base station via the allocated uplink resource.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for dynamically allocating a multicast path in a broadband wireless access system are provided. A method for an operation of a server providing a multicast service through a wireless access network includes determining to establish multicast paths for a first Base Station (BS) and at least one neighboring BS of the first BS when a terminal receiving the multicast service enters a network through the first BS, and transmitting a control station a message of instructing to establish the multicast path for a BS not holding the multicast path among the first BS and the at least one neighboring BS of the first BS.
Abstract:
An enhanced base station and clock synchronization method are provided. The method includes scanning to discover a satellite transmitting a satellite signal and a master base station providing clock synchronization signal, entering, when a satellite having a signal that fulfills predetermined conditions is found, a master mode for receiving the satellite signal to acquire clock synchronization and transmitting a clock synchronization signal to at least one slave base station, and entering, when no satellite having a signal that fulfills the predetermined conditions is found, a slave mode for receiving the clock synchronization signal from the master base station to acquire clock synchronization. The method allows the base station to switch between the master and slave modes dynamically according to variation of the communication environment, resulting in efficient clock synchronization.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for setting a group communication session using a wireless access system are provided. The method includes transmitting, at a transmission side client, a message requesting start/end of group communication to a control Push To Talk (PTT) server, transmitting, at the control PTT server, a session set/end message including a sequence number to a participating PTT server, multicasting, at the participating PTT server, a connect/disconnect request message N times for at least one reception side client, and setting/releasing, at the at least one reception side client, a session for the group communication.
