Abstract: A system compatibility method and apparatus are disclosed. The system compatibility method includes sending, according to a downlink resource configured in a new frame structure of a first system, information of a downlink resource carrier. The information of the downlink resource carrier includes information of a downlink resource carrier compatible with a second system. Information of an uplink resource carrier is received according to an uplink resource configured in the new frame structure of the first system. The information of the uplink resource carrier includes information of an uplink resource carrier compatible with the second system.

Abstract: A method for determining scanned objects is disclosed. According to the method, a Mobile Station (MS) receives an MOB_NBR_ADV message sent by a Base Station (BS). The MOB_NBR_ADV message contains BS IDs. The method includes the following steps: setting a BS Bitmap field in a scanning process message; and mapping the BS Bitmap field to the BS IDs contained in the MOB_NBR_ADV message and determining scanned objects according to the mapping. With the method, a minimum of one bit may be mapped to one of the BS IDs, and thus scanned objects are determined. In addition, an apparatus containing BS Bitmap units is disclosed. When scanned objects are determined with the method and apparatus, the length of a scanning process message can be shortened, thus improving the air-interface resource usage of the wideband radio access system to a great extent.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided to respond to a scanning request to further improve the utilization rate of air interface resources. A scanning response message is sent to a mobile station in response to a scanning request received from the mobile station. The scanning response message can be in the form of a MOB_SCN_RSP message that includes a BS ID sequence indication field that maps the BS IDs carried in the MOB_SCN_REQ message.

Abstract: A resource assignment method and a Mobile Station (MS) are provided. The method includes: obtaining, by the MS, combined indication information carried in a resource assignment message after the MS receives the resource assignment message; judging whether a resource block indicated by resource assignment information in the resource assignment message is a segment of a Physical-layer (PHY) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) according to the combined indication information, and reading the segment of the corresponding PHY PDU according to the resource assignment information if the resource block is a segment of the PHY PDU; combining segments belonging to the same PHY PDU into a complete PHY PDU, wherein the segments are read according to multiple received resource assignment messages; and decoding the PHY PDU. The MS includes an obtaining module, a judging module, a reading module, a combining module, and a decoding module.

Abstract: A method for obtaining information includes receiving carrier information and offset information of other carriers carried on a primary carrier, where the offset information includes frame number information, time difference information or window information; and obtaining, according to the carrier information and the offset information, data resources carried on the other carriers.

Abstract: A method for reporting accounting information of a user by an accounting client is provided. The method includes the following steps. The accounting client correlates the accounting information of all service streams established by the user, generates an accounting packet based on a user granularity, and reports the accounting packet to an accounting server. An accounting system and an accounting client are further provided, where the accounting client correlates the accounting information of all service streams established by the user, generates the accounting packet based on the user granularity, and reports the accounting packet to the accounting server, so that an access network supporting accounting based on a service stream may report the accounting information based on the user granularity to a core network. Therefore, if the access network uses an accounting mode based on the service stream, the access network may also support a user-based accounting mode.

Abstract: A method, a system and an apparatus for accounting in a network. The method includes: receiving accounting information; acquiring information of an access network; generating a bill containing the information of the access network according to the accounting information and the information of the access network; and the bill being used for performing charge settlement with an access network provider of the access network.
