Abstract: Provided is a method for selecting a serving PNC at a wireless device in a wireless mesh network for data communication. In the method, an initial PNC is selected if data is generated to transmit. Then, an initial MAC frame size is decided and data communication is performed with the selected initial serving PNC. A PNC having a best channel state is reselected from PNCs in a same coverage as a serving PNC after selecting the initial serving PNC. A MAC frame size is decided for the reselected serving PNC and data communication with the reselected serving PNC is performed. The data communication is terminated if a FER of the reselected serving PNC is larger than a maximum allowable FER or if there is no data to transmit after the data communication is performed.

Abstract: Provided is a location measurement method of a mobile node using a predictive filter is provided for improving the location measurement accuracy of the mobile node. The location measurement method of a mobile node detects change of movement pattern of the mobile node, corrects weights of a location measurement period and a predictive filter depending on the change of movement pattern, and compensates a location of the mobile node using the corrected weights of the location measurement period and predictive filter.

Abstract: In a wireless data communication network, a mobile terminal is reconnected to a contents provider, when a connection established between the mobile terminal and the contents provider is interrupted or after a completion of the downloading of contents, by using return address information and contents address information including addresses of the contents provider and a web page including information relating to the downloaded contents, respectively. A WML (wireless markup language) script including the contents address information and the return address information is provided to the mobile terminal before initiating the downloading of the contents. In this way, the mobile terminal can easily be reconnected to the contents provider when the connection established between the mobile terminal and the contents provider is interrupted due to network congestion or the mobile terminal leaving the service coverage area.
