Abstract: Disclosed is a proximity measurement method and apparatus for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a mobile communication system. The proximity measurement method may include determining whether a cell identification (ID) is included in a packet received from a gateway, verifying whether the cell ID matches a pre-stored cell ID when the cell ID is included, extracting, from the packet, Internet Protocol addresses of mobile terminals transmitting and receiving the packet when the cell ID matches the pre-stored cell ID, searching for IP addresses matched to the extracted IP addresses based on a proximity list including IP addresses of mobile terminals performing D2D communication, and registering, when the extracted IP addresses are absent in the proximity list, the extracted IP addresses in the proximity list and measuring proximity between the mobile terminals.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for receiving an MBMS broadcasting service. In the present invention, in a mobile communication/wireless communication system, an MBMS service is provided by synchronizing a unicast bearer with a multicast bearer through scheduling information mapping at the time of transmitting a broadcast/multicast service through a unicast. Further, the present invention presents even a method for improving quality of experience (QoE) of the service by providing the MBMS service through the multicast bearer and the unicast bearer simultaneously. According to the present invention, MBMS services of various service qualities can be provided depending on wireless quality of a terminal or the capability of the terminal at the time of providing the MBMS service.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) counting is provided. A user equipment (UE) may transmit selected service information to a multi-cell and multicast coordination entity (MCE) through a target evolved node base station (eNB), every time that a service requiring counting is received or cancelled and thus, the MCE may accurately manage a number of UEs that receive a service for each eNB. Also, the use may transmit selected service information to the MCE through the target eNB every time that the UE enters a new cell and thus, the MCE may accurately manage a number of UEs that receive a service for each eNB.

Abstract: According to an Evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (E-MBMS) service method of the present invention, an E-MBMS service is received from a first base station. If neighbor cell MBMS control information is modified in the first base station, MBMS paging information, including a factor informing that the neighbor cell MBMS control information has been modified, is received from the first base station. When an MBMS control information update cycle is reached, modified neighbor cell MBMS control information is received from the first base station and is stored. When a user equipment moves from the first base station to a second base station, a P-T-M radio bearer is reset based on the stored neighbor cell MBMS control information and receiving the E-MBMS service from the second base station. Accordingly, the consumption of battery power can be reduced, and an E-MBMS service being services is not interrupted although a user equipment moves.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of managing a paging group in a mobile terminal that is in an idle mode. A method of managing a paging group according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention includes: collecting paging group ID information including paging group levels and local IDs; determining, on the basis of the collected paging group ID information, whether or not a location update occurs; and if it is determined that the location update occurs, comparing a location update cycle according to a location update time with a threshold value, selecting a paging group level on the basis of the comparison result, and selecting a paging group corresponding to the selected paging group level.

Abstract: In the method for dynamic IP allocation using a mobile IP in a wireless portable Internet system, a MAC message used to register a mobile subscriber station contains a flag including a mobile IP version parameter. Upon checking the mobile IP version, the mobile subscriber terminal transmits a mobile IP registration request message to a base station during MAC connection establishment. The base station transmits a mobile IP registration reply message to the mobile subscriber in response to the received mobile IP registration request message to allocate a dynamic IP address to the mobile subscriber station. The dynamic IP allocation process is performed through a secondary management connection to achieve a rapid handoff without using a connection identifier. In addition, the present invention supports a seamless service and the use of the mobile IP in the IEEE 802.
