Abstract: Provided are an organic semiconductor compound using thiazole, and an organic thin film transistor having an organic semiconductor layer formed of the organic semiconductor compound using thiazole. The novel organic semiconductor compound including thiazole has liquid crystallinity and excellent thermal stability, and thus is provided to form an organic semiconductor layer in the organic thin film transistor. To this end, a silicon oxide layer is formed on a silicon substrate, and an organic semiconductor layer including thiazole is formed on the silicon oxide layer. In addition, source and drain electrodes are formed on both edge portions of the organic semiconductor layer. The organic thin film transistor using the organic semiconductor layer has an improved on/off ratio and excellent thermal stability. Also, a solution process can be applied in its manufacture.

Abstract: A method for setting a general packet radio service attach mode in a mobile station (MS) for allowing the MS to be attached to a general packet radio service network. A public land mobile network broadcasts information related to the general packet radio service attach mode to the MS through a downlink carrier of a serving cell. The MS receives the information related to the general packet radio service attach mode broadcasted from the public land mobile network through the downlink carrier of the serving cell and checks the general packet radio service attach mode preset in the public land mobile network based on the information related to the general packet radio service attach mode. The general packet radio service attach mode is set in the MS. Thus, the general packet radio service attach of the MS is timely carried out in match with a request of the public land mobile network, so the MS is adaptively used in relation to a system environment of a network to which the MS is registered.

Abstract: An improved roaming method of a mobile communication system. At the time of location registration or system information transmission, a sub-PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) in which an MS (Mobile Station) is located provides a valid roaming list that is configured by system ID information of peripheral sub-PLMNs whose roaming services can be provided, and the MS compares the received valid roaming list with a previously stored roaming list and determines whether it should perform a scan procedure for roaming, thereby removing an unnecessary operation of the MS and saving power of the MS.

Abstract: A frequency format for use in a GSM (Global System for Mobile telecommunication) system. The frequency format comprises first information for defining a frequency list, said first information being arranged in a first octet; second information for defining a length of the frequency list, said second information being arranged in a second octet; first and second format IDs (identifications) being arranged in a specific part of a third octet; a plurality of basic frequencies arranged in a remaining part of the third octet to the last octet; and a plurality of bit maps each arranged between the basic frequencies. The number of the basic frequencies is varied depending on the length of the frequency list and the number of the bit maps between the basic frequencies.
