Abstract: An apparatus and method for registration of a Mobile Station (MS) to a compact Base Station (BS) using Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. The method includes receiving RFID tag information of the MS from an RFID receiver, determining whether the MS is a service registration mobile station using the received RFID tag information, and if the MS is a service registration mobile station, performing a serving BS change into the compact BS for the MS and then initiating a service for the MS.

Abstract: An apparatus and operation method of a Mobile Station (MS) for ranging in a broadband wireless access communication system includes receiving information for ranging code hopping from a Base Station (BS). The MS determines a hopping offset value that is a start of a ranging codes group using the information for ranging code hopping. The MS also determines a ranging codes group using the hopping offset value, and randomly selects at least one or more ranging codes among the determined ranging codes group and transmitting the selected ranging codes to the BS.

Abstract: A method and apparatus optimize handover optimization in a broadband wireless communication system. Operations of a base station includes determining whether at least one of a plurality of time intervals included in a total time taken by handover, exceeds a threshold time. Whether to advance or delay a handover point is determined based on which at least one of the time interval exceeds the threshold time. And at least one handover parameter is changed to advance or delay the handover point.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing load state information of a Base Station (BS) in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. The method includes determining a ratio of a whole allocated resource compared to a whole resource of the BS and a ratio of a resource allocated for a rate requiring security compared to the whole resource, generating at least one load indicator for indicating a first value expressing the ratio of the whole allocated resource and a second value expressing the ratio of the resource allocated for the rate requiring security, and transmitting the at least one load indicator.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for allocating a preamble index of a Self-Configuration or Self-Configurable (SC) Base Station (BS) in a broadband wireless communication system. An SC BS apparatus in a broadband wireless communication system includes a detector, a controller, and a generator. The detector detects at least one preamble signal for preamble index allocation by using a signal received from at least one other BS. The controller requests information used by at least one other SC BS for preamble index allocation and allocates a preamble index for the SC BS by using the detection result of the preamble signal and the information received from the at least one other SC BS. The generator generates a preamble signal corresponding to the preamble index allocated by the controller.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining a position of a compact Base Station (BS) by using user supplied location information in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. The method includes receiving a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal using a GPS receiver, receiving location information supplied by a user, comparing a strength of the GPS signal with a threshold, if the strength of the GPS signal is greater than the threshold, obtaining position information of the BS using the GPS signal, and if the strength to the GPS signal is less than or equal to the threshold, obtaining the position information of the BS using the location information.
