Abstract: The present invention relates to a multicast and broadcast service (MCBCS) system and method. According to the present invention, the MCBCS system comprises: an MBS distribution DPF (Data Patch Function) for receiving MBS data from an MCBCS server/controller and distributing the data; an MBS synchronization controller for acquiring GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) for the MBS data from the MBS distribution DPF and then generating an MBS synchronization rule; an MBS synchronization executor for executing MBS synchronization on the MBS synchronization rule received from the MBS synchronization controller; and an MBS DPF for receiving MBS data from the MBS distribution DPF, packaging the MBS data into an MBS burst and then transmitting the data to an MS (Mobile station). As such, multicast and broadcast services can be provided efficiently.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for supporting MultiCast and BroadCast Service (MCBCS) proxy selection for MCBCS and macro diversity in a wireless communication system is provided. The apparatus and method selects a first MCBCS proxy among MCBCS proxies in the plurality of ASNs as a master MCBCS proxy, and selects other MCBCS proxies except for the first MCBCS proxy as slave MCBCS proxies, and the first MCBCS proxy transmits information for macro diversity to the slave MCBCS proxies, wherein the master MCBCS proxy first receives an MCBCS join message from a Mobile Station (MS) in one Multicast and Broadcast Service (MBS) zone.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile internet system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for supporting a multicast broadcast service (MBS) over WIMAX. The MBS supporting method of the present invention comprises assigning a first GRE key to a first MBS service flow for a first MS, and delivering MBS contents having the first MBS service flow through the use of first GRE key; and if a second MBS service flow for a second MS is the same as the first MBS service flow, delivering MBS contents having the second MBS service flow through the use of first GRE key pre-assigned to the first MBS service flow.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for providing Multicast and Broadcast Service (MCBCS). According to the present invention, the MCBCS system and method supports session start and data path registration procedures, join and leave procedure for providing the MCBCS with static or dynamic multicast service schemes, and supports procedures for providing to mobile stations operating in idle mode. Accordingly, the present invention enables effectively implementing the MCBCS in a wireless communication system, particularly in WiMAX system, and provides the MCBCS according to the mobile stations operating in idle mode.

Abstract: A method of creating a service flow for ROHC in a control station is disclosed, which can establishes a ROHC channel between ROHC entities, the method comprising obtaining a first ROHC parameter from a ROHC entity of the control station, upon receiving a subscriber profile to which ROHC is applied; and transmitting a first message including the first ROHC parameter for requesting the creation of service flow to a mobile station related with the subscriber profile and a base station performing a dynamic service addition (DSA) procedure through the use of a second message including the first ROHC parameter.

Abstract: A header-compression packet processing method in a wireless communication system is disclosed, which can transmit a header-compression packet through a packet transmission path mapped to a service flow, the method comprising, when a service flow of a downlink packet is mapped to a header-compression transmission channel, obtaining a second packet by adding a header-compression context ID mapped to an IP flow of the downlink packet to a first packet made by compressing a header of the downlink packet, in a control station; adding a data path tag mapped to the service flow of the downlink packet to the second packet; and transmitting the second packet with the data path tag to a base station maintaining mapping information of a connection ID for a corresponding mobile station and the data path tag, so as to transmit the second packet with the data path tag to the corresponding mobile station using the header-compression transmission channel.
