  • Patent number: 8036709
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile communication terminal and handover method therefor, which enable handover of a mobile communication terminal that is using a packet data service or is in a dormant state in a mobile communication network in which asynchronous and synchronous networks coexist. In the handover method, if a channel is assigned between a mobile communication terminal and a synchronous mobile communication system in response to a request from an asynchronous mobile communication system as a mobile communication terminal using packet data service in the asynchronous mobile communication system moves into an area of the synchronous mobile communication system, call setup is performed. A node B of the asynchronous communication releases a connection to the mobile communication system and assigns a new mobile IP to the mobile communication terminal, thus providing continuous packet data service to the mobile communication terminal.

  • Patent number: 7995502
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of efficiently assigning addresses in a WPAN and a WPAN device. The address assignment method of the present invention is performed by a higher device. Address assignment information for determining an address to be assigned to a lower device, is managed. An address is assigned to a lower device that requests connection from the higher device based on the address assignment information. The address assignment information is updated to a address value as the address value is assigned, and the updated address assignment information is transmitted to lower devices. If an update of address assignment information is requested by the lower device that assigned an address value to a device lower thereto, the address assignment information is updated and the updated address assignment information is transmitted to lower devices.

  • Patent number: 7869406
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a handover method for a mobile communication terminal in a mobile communication network in which an asynchronous network and a synchronous network coexist. In the present invention, as a mobile communication terminal, which is making a call through an asynchronous mobile communication system, moves into the area of a synchronous mobile communication system, and thus a handover event occurs, the establishment of a call with a synchronous mobile communication system is performed by the automatic call termination or origination of the mobile communication terminal while a connection between the asynchronous modem unit of the mobile communication terminal and the asynchronous mobile communication system is maintained, and then the connection with the asynchronous mobile communication system is released. Accordingly, a call interruption can be prevented at the time of handover between heterogeneous networks.

  • Patent number: 7864730
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling a mobile communication terminal and mobile communication system therefor. In the mobile communication terminal control method, a synchronous base station of a synchronous area placed at the boundary region of an asynchronous area transmits a dummy pilot signal at the same frequency as that of a signal used in the asynchronous mobile communication system and drives a synchronous modem unit of the mobile communication terminal moving from the asynchronous area to the synchronous area. A handover cell is constructed at the boundary between synchronous and asynchronous areas, and a handover base station in the handover cell transmits a signal including system information at the same frequency as that of a signal used in the asynchronous mobile communication system, thus driving the synchronous modem unit of the mobile communication terminal entering the handover cell.
