Patent number: 9826441Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for performing a handover of a terminal in a wireless communication system. In the method, a ranging code is transmitted to a target base station on which a handover is to be performed. A ranging response message comprising Connection Identification (CID) update information is received from the target base station together with resource assignment information for transmission of a ranging request message. Therefore, fast resumption of downlink data reception of the terminal can be supported through fast CID update during a handover.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2009Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Dai-Kwan Kim, Jung-Je Son, Jong-Hyung Kwun, Young-Hyun Jeon, Jae-Hyuk Jang

Patent number: 8787910Abstract: An apparatus and a method for a terminal handover between systems using different Frequency Allocations (FAs) are provided. The method includes broadcasting an indication signal to inform of existence of the terminal in a coverage of a macro base station to which an indoor base station is registered; and when receiving a handover command message of the indoor base station, from the macro base station, performing a handover procedure to the indoor base station. The base station can efficiently utilize the control channel resource and the user terminal needs not to conduct the unnecessary scanning procedure. Thus, the time and the power required for the scanning can be spared.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2009Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Il-Won Kwon, Sang-Min Lee, Dai-Kwan Kim

Patent number: 8504025Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting an UpLink (UL) pilot using a scanning interval in a mobile communication system are provided. The method includes receiving a scanning response message including information on a UL pilot channel allocation mode from a serving Base Station (BS), measuring each DownLink (DL) channel state using DL signals of one or more neighboring BSs and transmitting a UL pilot to each of the one or more neighboring BSs in the UL pilot channel allocation mode, during a scanning duration. Accordingly, both UL and DL Quality of Service (QoS) may be considered during a handover operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2008Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Dai-Kwan Kim, Jong-Hyung Kwun, Jung-Hoon Cheon

Patent number: 7684367Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting data by using Multi-round Contention Avoidance (MrCA) are provided. The method includes initializing a contention window for each of a plurality of contention rounds and setting a backoff counter corresponding to a size of the contention window for each contention round, starting from a first contention round to a last contention round, decrementing a backoff counter of a corresponding contention round in a time slot unit and transmitting data when the decremented backoff counter is zero and when the corresponding contention round is a last contention round. Accordingly, the number of contending nodes is exponentially decreased for each contention round, resulting in significant decrease in a collision probability in addition to improving fairness on channel use among users.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2008Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignees: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Seoul National University Industry FoundationInventors: Jeong-Kyun Yun, Sae-Woong Bahk, Jae-Hyun Ahn, Dai-Kwan Kim, Jong-Hyung Kwun

Publication number: 20090036133Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a message for a handover to a heterogeneous system in a BWA system. In the method, a neighboring BS information message containing the neighboring heterogeneous system BS information is generated according to the neighboring BS information message generation scheme of the serving system. The serving system BS has only to transmit information about a neighboring BS of the serving system, thus reducing a message overhead. Also, the neighboring heterogeneous system BS has only to transmit its own BS information within the corresponding coverage, thus enabling efficient use of control channel resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2008Publication date: February 5, 2009Applicant: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yung-Soo Kim, Jong-Hyung Kwun, Dai-Kwan Kim
