Abstract: A divided Media Access Control (MAC) protocol structure, a data transmission and reception method, and a handover method and system using the structure in a wireless communication system for efficiently managing session information in handover of an MSS (Mobile Subscriber Station). In the MAC protocol structure, a MAC is divided into a MAC-high layer and a MAC-low layer. The MAC-high layer performs session information-related functions and the MAC-low layer performs functions sensitive to a time delay in relation to handover of an MSS. In the handover method, when an MSS in the wireless communication system performs handover between Access Points (APs), session information is managed at a fixed position by an Access Point Controller (APC) including an MAC-high layer or a serving AP. Therefore, the system load can be reduced and communication quality can be improved.

Upon receipt of a broadcasting message including no interworking WLAN information, the dual terminal turns off the WLAN module.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for detecting a plurality of defect types on the surface of a disk in a hard disk drive. In particular, the disclosure relates to utilizing information obtained from a plurality of servo bits to determine if a sector contains a physical defect. Where such a defect is found, the sector's write gate is disabled and its burst signal data is ignored for track following purposes. In addition, large changes in PES are used to identify closure spike defects. Such defects are managed by providing a compensation signal to the read value of the PES to improve track following. Finally, high PES values are used to signal a third defect type where no other signs of defect are present. In such case, the sector is mapped as defective, but the burst signals continue to be used for track following purposes.
