Abstract:
A method for performing policy and charging control (PCC) in a decentralized network architecture includes performing, by a first base station (BS), a procedure of initial network entry of a mobile station (MS), determining, by the first BS, first PCC rules for the MS by using at least one of subscription information and application information regarding the MS, enforcing, by the first BS, control and charging for data communication of the MS based on the first PCC rules, generating second PCC rules to be applied to a second BS and transferring the second PCC rules to the second BS, when detecting a handover of the MS to the second BS, and requesting the MS to connect to the second BS. Other embodiments including a method for performing PCC in the seconds BS, and the first BS and the second BS for performing PCC are disclosed.
Abstract:
A Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) method and an apparatus in a communication system are provided. The method includes receiving, by a Subscriber Station (SS), first data from at least one first member Base Station (BS) among member BSs of a cooperative cell, when the cooperative cell is configured with the member BSs to provide a communication service to the SS, generating a response signal indicating a reception result of the first data, and transmitting the response signal to at least one predefined second member BS from among the member BSs. The member BSs include a master BS for controlling communication of the member BSs and at least one slave BS for communicating with the SS under the control of the master BS.
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:
Beam selection is provided. A method for handover in a mobile station includes sending a scan request message for scanning a downlink (DL) beam with respect to a serving base station (BS) and a neighboring BS, to the serving BS, and receiving a scan response message; determining the DL beam for the MS by performing scanning with the serving BS and the neighboring BS based on the scan response message; sending a scan report message comprising a result of the scanning to the serving BS; when receiving an air-HO request message from the serving BS, generating an air-HO response message comprising information of a neighboring BS to which the MS hands over based on the air-HO request message; performing beam selection with the neighboring BS of the handover based on the air-HO request message; and performing the handover.
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:
A method and an apparatus of cooperating with a plurality of base stations in a wireless communication system. A cloud cell is configured with a plurality of base stations that cooperate with each other for a mobile station and synchronizes user contexts for serving the mobile station among the plurality of base stations included in the cloud cell, and the plurality of base stations cooperate with each other to provide a communication service to the mobile station. The present disclosure reduces generation of a handover when the mobile station moves between base stations, and increases the data yield of the mobile station by transmitting and receiving data in cooperation with base stations in a cloud cell at a shaded area or a cell border.
Abstract:
A Mobile Station (MS) in a wireless communication system is provided. The MS includes, generating a message for requesting to generate a service flow, the message including mobility management information of the service flow, and transmitting the message including the mobility management information. The mobility management information is used to determine whether the service flow requires an anchor.
Abstract:
Mobility management in a wireless communication system supporting a Base Station set is provided. The system includes a plurality of BSs directly connected to the Internet without an upper node, and configured to provide wireless access to at least one Mobile Station (MS). The BSs construct a cloud cell for providing service to the at least one MS, and a first BS of the plurality of BSs functions as a control master and is configured to perform control signaling with the at least one MS, and a second BS of the plurality of BSs functions as a data master and is configured to perform scheduling for service provision through the cloud cell and to operate as an Internet Protocol (IP) endpoint of the at least one MS.
Abstract:
A method and a system are provided for a push service in a communication system. The method comprises: if there is data that is directed from an application server to an application of a terminal, transmitting, to a location register, a first message requesting location information of the terminal; if the location register receives the first message, transmitting, to a gateway, a second message requesting the location information of the terminal; transmitting, to the location register by the gateway, a third message including the location information of the terminal; transmitting, to the application server by the location register, a fourth message including the location information of the terminal; and transmitting, to the application of the terminal by the application server, the data using the location information of the terminal.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting a status report in a communication system based on multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs) is provided. The method includes, when missing sequence numbers are detected from sequence numbers of packets stored in a reception buffer, identifying whether there are one or more sequence numbers which have not been received due to a transmission delay time difference between the multiple RATs in the missing sequence numbers, and when there are one or more sequence numbers in the missing sequence numbers, delaying transmission of the status report.
