The handover method may measure an RSS from a currently accessed base station and RSSs from candidate base stations for handover, may measure a radial velocity with respect to the currently accessed base station and radial velocities with respect to the candidate base stations for handover, and may perform a handover by determining a base station for handover based on the measured RSSs and the measured radial velocities when the RSS from the currently accessed base station is less than or equal to a reference RSS.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a handover method between systems of a multi-mode terminal. A multi-cast based protocol is added to an Internet protocol (IP) based wireless network to cooperate with the wireless access protocol of the terminal. In addition, minimized processes are added to use the wireless access protocol having wide area coverage. Accordingly, the handover between the systems may be performed while packet loss or service delay caused by a movement of a user may be minimized, and terminal complexity may not be increased.

Abstract: A session control method for use in a radio communication system is provided. In the session control method, a session management (SM) protocol message for the setting or the cancellation of a session is transmitted with the aid of a radio resource control (RRC) protocol message of a lower layer for the setting or the cancellation of a radio bearer. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of signalling messages to a radio interface and thus to minimize signalling delays. In addition, it is possible to realize a many-to-one correspondence between services and bearers and realize efficient packet services in an evolved radio communication system by separately defining service identifiers and bearer identifiers and selectively setting or cancelling a bearer according to the correspondence between services and bearers.

Abstract: A method for fast handover between a 3GE network and a WLAN is provided. When a network change event that represents that a received WLAN signal can disappear or be captured is generated based on the WLAN signal, a terminal receives information on a new access router (NAR) to be used after handover from a previous access router (PAR) to which the terminal is currently connected using a network identifier, and all packets transmitted from the terminal to the PAR are buffered in the NAR. The NAR transmits all the buffered packets to the terminal when receiving a fast neighbor advertisement (FNA) message from the terminal to perform fast lossless handover.
