Abstract: A system and method for fast network re-entry in a broadband wireless access communication system. A mobile station transmits a first message requiring fast network re-entry to a base station and performs the fast network re-entry together with the base station when receiving a second message approving the fast network re-entry from the base station. The base station receives the first message, authenticates the first message using final session information of the mobile station that is previously stored in the base station, transmits the second message to the mobile station when succeeding in authentication of the first message, and performs the fast network re-entry together with the mobile station.

An MS, a BS and an AAA server acquire a first MSK by a first EAP authentication for the MS in an EAP-in-EAP scheme. After the first EAP authentication, they acquire a second MSK by a second EAP authentication for the MS in the EAP-in-EAP scheme.

Abstract: In response to a BCMCS service request from a mobile station, a base station separately informs the mobile station whether the requested BCMCS service is available. Thus, the base station can include only broadcast channel information necessary for actual broadcast in a broadcasting overhead message, and if the BCMCS service is stopped or unavailable, the base station can order the mobile station to interrupt the BCMCS service, thereby reducing the load on system resources.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a subscriber station security-related parameter negotiation method in a wireless portable Internet system. The subscriber station security-related parameter negotiation method includes security-related parameters in transmitting/receiving basic capability negotiation request messages and basic capability negotiation response messages such that the subscriber station and the base station negotiate the subscriber station security-related parameters. The security-related parameters include an authorization policy support subfield used to negotiate an authorization policy between the subscriber station and the base station, and message authentication code mode subfields used to negotiate a message authentication code mode.

Abstract: Method and system by which a base station without a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver acquires time synchronization in a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) communication system. The method includes scanning neighbor base stations around a first base station and requesting time synchronization information from the scanned neighbor base stations by the first base station; receiving responses from predetermined neighbor base stations having already acquired time synchronization from among the neighbor base stations, the responses including time synchronization information of the predetermined neighbor base stations; and selecting a second base station from among the predetermined neighbor base stations and acquiring time synchronization based on the time synchronization information of the second base station.

Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing Broadcast/Multicast Service (BCMCS) traffic in a mobile communication system connected to a BCMCS server. A Packet Data Service Node (PDSN) receives a BCMCS content frame from the BCMCS server, and transmits a corresponding Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) packet BCMCS content frame, including a sequence number and a timestamp value indicating when the GRE packet BCMCS content frame is transmitted, to Packet Control Functions (PCF) connected downstream of the PDSN. Each of the PCFs determines whether the GRE packet BCMCS content frame received from the PDSN is valid, based on the sequence number included therein. If the GRE packet BCMCS content frame is valid, the PCF transmits the frame to its lower nodes connected downstream of the PCF, while synchronizing the frame transmission, based on the timestamp value included in the frame.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for performing re-authentication in a communication system. A user Authorization, Authentication and Accounting server transmits a user Master Session Key (MSK_U), which is generated by performing user re-authentication for a mobile station (MS) according to a twice Extensible Authentication Protocol scheme, to a device Authorization, Authentication and Accounting server that generates a new user Master Session Key (MSK_U1) by using the MSK_U and a device Master Session Key generated at initial device authentication for the MS. A base station (BS) generates a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) by using the MSK_U1, and the MS and BS generate an authorization key by using the PMK.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for providing a broadcast service in a mobile communication system using code division multiple access (CDMA) technology. The novel method controls transmission of broadcast service data according to base station areas by registering a mobile station with a broadcast service. For that purpose, the mobile station requests an authentication server to authenticate a desired broadcast service, and registers the authenticated broadcast service in a packet data serving node via a base station so that the base station and the packet data serving node can set up a transmission path for the broadcast service. The method increases the efficiency of base station resources by controlling transmission times of base stations, and the packet data serving node can perform accounting on the broadcast service of the mobile station.

Abstract: Disclosed is a Quality-of-Service (QoS) Support method in a mobile communication system including an access terminal, an access network for performing packet data communication with the access terminal, a packet control function for controlling transmission and reception of packet data between the access network and the access terminal, and a packet data service node for exchanging packet data with the packet control function. The access terminal maps a requirement based on an application characteristic to an IP QoS parameter, generates a resource reservation protocol message, and transmits the resource reservation protocol message to the packet data service node. The packet data service node maps IP QoS information to be transmitted to the access terminal to QoS information needed in the access network, and transmits the mapping result to the access network via the packet control function.
