Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices for multi-Subscriber Identify Module (SIM) wireless communication. In an embodiment, a method includes establishing a window for at least receiving paging in an idle state of a first wireless communication associated with a first SIM. A prediction is made, based on the window, of a collision or non-collision between the paging and a second wireless communication associated with a second SIM. It is then determined, in response to a collision prediction, whether a simultaneous reception of the paging and the second wireless communication is possible through use of different respective carriers, if so, respective radio frequency (RF) paths are allocated to the paging and the second wireless communication, where the allocated RF paths correspond to the different respective carriers.

Thus, the terminal operating in the idle mode can minimize the power consumption of the terminal through the efficient control of the synchronization acquisition overhead interval and the frequency reselection algorithm carried out based on and the channel change.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for paging a terminated call in a new Mobility Management Entity (MME) of a mobile communication system are provided. The method includes receiving a Tracking Area Update (TAU) REQUEST message from a target terminal which will receive a voice call when the target terminal moves from a currently accessed cell to a cell included in another Tracking Area Identity (TAI) list and the target terminal accesses a packet network, sending an inquiry to an old MME which manages a TAI about whether a terminated call paging for the target terminal is being performed, generating a TAU ACCEPT message including a voice call paging indicator when an answer corresponds to performance of the terminated call paging for the target terminal, and transmitting the TAU ACCEPT message to the target terminal.

Abstract: A system is provided for transmitting/receiving downlink resource allocation information in a communication system. In the system, a base station generates first information including downlink resource allocation information necessary for supporting a first mode supported by the base station, generates second information including length information of the first information, and transmits the first information and the second information. A mobile station notifies the base station of a second mode supported by the mobile station, receives, after the notification, the first information and the second information from the base station, and skips without decoding as much downlink resource allocation information as a length corresponding to the length information without decoding, if the first mode is different from the second mode.

In a broadband wireless access communication system, if a base station receives a registration request message from a mobile station, and if the base station inserts information about service flows to be provisioned by a base station into a registration response message and transmits the registration response message to the mobile station after the registration request message is received, the mobile station determines if the mobile station transits into a normal operation mode corresponding to the information and exactly recognizes a time point at which the mobile station goes into the normal operation mode.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for random access in a wireless communication system are provided. In the method, a random access response message is received. The random access response message is analyzed to determine a status of a random access process. A count variable value is updated according to the status. And the count variable value is compared with at least one reference value to determine a random access period. By adaptively changing the period of periodic ranging in a wireless communication system, the probability of success is increased while the waste of resources is decreased.
