The method includes: receiving the load status information from a terminal that has received base station system information which includes the load status information, indicating the status of radio resource use of the adjacent base station, with the system information having been broadcast by the adjacent private base station, and storing the received load status information of the adjacent base station.

Abstract: A Transport Network Layer (TNL) connection setup method for a base station includes monitoring Physical Cell Identity (PCI) values of neighboring cells. When it is monitored that the PCI values are changed, IP addresses of neighboring base stations corresponding to the changed PCI values are acquired. Thereafter, it is determined whether it is necessary to perform a new TNL connection setup with respect to other neighboring base stations, based on the changed PCI values and the acquired IP addresses. When it is determined that it is necessary to perform the new TNL connection setup, the TNL connection setup is performed with the acquired IP addresses.

Abstract: A terminal including a packet detecting unit, a user input/output unit, a CID managing unit, and a data storing unit is disclosed. The packet detecting unit determines whether a packet can be classified by a pre-established packet classification rule or a packet cannot be classified by the rules. For packets that cannot be classified, the user input/output unit receives QoS information from a user. The CID managing unit generates a new packet classification rule for the unclassified packet, checks a CID in a data storing unit, the CID having the same QoS class as that of the QoS parameter input through the user input/output unit, and determines whether to generate a new CID or to add the new packet classification rule to the pre-established CID. The data storing unit storing unit Stores the new packet classification rule generated by the CID managing unit and information on the CID.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a terminal including a packet detecting unit, a user input/output unit, a CID managing unit, and a data storing unit.

For the packet that cannot be classified by the pre-established packet classification rule, the user input/output unit receives QoS information from a user (5322, 5324).

Abstract: The method for controlling a use amount of a radio channel for transmitting a packet from a node in a wireless Ad Hoc network that employs a contention-based protocol includes (a) estimating a total amount of data transmitted through packet transmission from the node; (b) controlling a backoff time that determines the use amount of the radio channel based on the estimated amount of transmitted data; and (c) participating in contention for gaining access for the next packet transmission by using the backoff time. A contention window value for setting the bounds of backoff time can be set by calculating a total amount of data transmitted through a transmit node, and thus channel distribution can be controlled such that a plurality of transmit nodes can fairly transmit data through the channel, thereby enhancing quality of packet data service.
