  • Patent number: 8244253
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting a fast mobility Internet Protocol (IP) with a link identifier prefix (LinkID prefix) in a wireless communication system are provided. According to a method for performing a handoff from a first access router to a second access router, a Layer 2 (L2) beacon containing a link identifier prefix is sent to a mobile node in the second access router. The first access router establishes a tunneling with the second router, as the mobile node sends a Fast Binding Update (FBU) message including a care-of address (CoA) which the mobile node dynamically constructs using the link identifier prefix, to the first access router.

  • Patent number: 8245299
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring a code to detect intrusion code is used to monitor target code to determine whether the target code is a resident code in a system or an intrusion code into the system. A first code pattern is extracted from the target code and a second code pattern is loaded from a storage unit, and a distance between the first code pattern and the second code pattern is calculated. The calculated distance is compared to a threshold to determine whether the target code is an intrusion code.

  • Patent number: 8238236
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for configuring a bitmap in a mobile communication system employing a block ACK scheme, which faithfully performs its intrinsic function of acknowledging a reception result, and yet can reduce transmission delay and the overall system load due to retransmission in the case where packet loss is relatively less important than transmission delay time, such as in the case of voice communication. To this end, a recipient compares a PER of a received packet signal with a threshold value. If the PER is higher than the threshold value, the recipient operates in the block ACK scheme, and if the PER is lower than the threshold value, the recipient determines a bitmap configuration scheme on the assumption that an erroneous frame has been successfully received. Also, using the determined bitmap configuration scheme, the recipient transmits a reception result for each received packet.
