Abstract: A base station defines a short TTI (transmission time interval) equal to the length of one subslot as the minimum unit of a time resource for data transmission in a subframe including a plurality of subslots, determines the RS type the terminal will use for transmission, among a plurality of RS types, based on the positions of RSs (reference signals) within the short TTI, and sends information on the RS type the terminal will use for transmission to the terminal.

Abstract: A terminal executes a random access procedure with a target base station depending on a pre-random access channel (pre-RACH) command in a handover preparation step executed between a source base station currently accessed by the terminal and the target base station when the terminal receives the pre-RACH command from the source base station through layer2 (L2) signaling in the handover preparation step.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and an apparatus for a buffer status report in a mobile communication system. The method for a buffer status report includes setting a new QoS class identifier (QCI) value for supporting a radio bearer (RB) added for a low latency service; and allocating a logical channel of a RB for an existing service and a logical channel of a RB for the low latency service to logical channel groups (LCGs) in consideration of the newly set QCI value. Further the buffer status report for each logical channel performed in an LCG unit is received.

Abstract: A terminal transmits and receives data by using legacy transport channels and legacy physical channels, which operate based on a first TTI, configures, when a service requiring an operation of a new second TTI is generated, new transport channels and new physical channels which operate based on the second TTI while configuring a new radio bearer, and thereafter, transmits and receives data of the service by using the new transport channels and the new physical channels.

Abstract: A method for managing a terminal operated in an idle state is provided. The method includes entering a femto cell, determining whether a femto base station managing the femto cell has the same paging group as a macro base station managing a macro cell overlapping the femto cell, transmitting a first ranging code triggering a paging enable state to the femto base station if it is determined that the paging group is the same as the determination result, and receiving a paging message from the femto base station.

Abstract: A signaling method for a terminal that performs direct communication between terminals terminal is disclosed. A transmitting terminal transmits a link establishment request message for establishing a link to a receiving terminal, and the receiving terminal transmits a link establishment response message responding to this message to the transmitting terminal. The link establishment request message includes a field indicating a flow to use if the receiving terminal acquires a token.

Abstract: A communication method of a terminal that can operate in a relay mode or a base station mode is provided. When the terminal, having received a service from a first base station, detects that a service connection to the first base station is unavailable, the terminal searches for a second base station, which is an available neighboring base station. The terminal transmits a ranging request message including a base station identifier of the first base station to the second base station.

Abstract: In a direct communication between terminals, a terminal transmits a synchronization channel preamble part after transmitting a synchronization channel message part including synchronization information. The terminal receives a dedicated channel including a direct communication packet after transmitting the synchronization channel preamble part. A transition time gap for switching from transmission to reception may be inserted to an end of the synchronization channel preamble part.

Abstract: Referring to FIG. 4, if the direct communication terminal 120, among the direct communication terminals 120 and 130 receiving a downlink multicast service from the base station 200 through the forwarding terminal 110, wants to be a talker, the direct communication terminal 120 performs a unicast connection establishment procedure with the forwarding terminal 110, in order to transmit an uplink unicast packet.

Abstract: A method of managing a resource is provided by a base station. The base station allocates a resource to a terminal, and generates a downlink control channel including information of the allocated resource and a transmission time of a next downlink control channel. Further, the base station transmits the downlink control channel to the terminal.

Abstract: A method of setting a cycle of a low-duty mode in a femto base station is provided. The cycle of the low-duty mode has a pattern in which an available interval and an unavailable interval repeatedly appear, and the available interval is set to include a paging listening interval of a paging cycle. A method of setting a cycle of a low-duty mode in a femto base station having a service area overlapping with that of a macrocell is provided. An unavailable interval is set by taking the overlapping degree of the service area of the femto base station with the macrocell into consideration. A method of setting a cycle of a low-duty mode in a plurality of femto base stations operated in the low-duty mode is provided. The same cycle can be set for a plurality of base stations.

The method includes: determining one of a plurality of second windows included in a first window as a synchronization reception window; selecting one of a plurality of synchronization slots included in the second windows as a first synchronization slot; transmitting a first synchronization signal through the first synchronization slot included in the second windows, excluding the synchronization reception window; detecting a second synchronization signal transmitted from other terminals using the first synchronization slot included in the synchronization reception window; and determining that a collision from amongst the synchronization signals has occurred based on the detection result.

Abstract: A relay, a terminal, and a communication method of the same are provided. The terminal acting as a relay receives a message including scan duration information from a superordinate HR-BS, and the terminal transmits a message including the scan duration information to a subordinate HR-MS. The terminal receives an A-preamble from the superordinate HR-BS according to the scan duration information.

Abstract: A permutated channel structure based on a block structure in talk-around direct communication is provided. A dedicated subchannel interferes with only one adjacent dedicated subchannel, even with a large synchronization error, by permutating the dedicated subchannels by cyclic shifts, whereby diversity gain can be maintained and interference between adjacent channels can be minimized.

Abstract: A mobile relay station (RS) and a handover method thereof are provided. When it is determined that a mobile RS performs handover from a superordinate base station (BS) to a target BS, information indicating admission of handover is received from the superordinate BS. The mobile RS transmits a service unavailability section to a subordinate terminal, whereby the subordinate terminal is prevented from performing handover to a different BS or a different RS.

Abstract: A terminal identifying method identifies a terminal in a media access control layer, and includes allocating a station ID to the terminal for identifying the terminal, and allocating a flow ID to a connection in the terminal for identifying the connection in the terminal.

Abstract: A direct communication method between terminals is provided. When a terminal receives a plurality of synchronization information parts, the terminal selects synchronization information to acquire a reference time among the plurality of synchronization information parts according to a priority. Here, the priority is an order of first synchronization information that is received from a base station, second synchronization information that is received from a global positioning system (GPS), and third synchronization information that is received from a terminal in which a hop count from the base station or the GPS is small.

Abstract: A method in which a first terminal supports direct communication using infracommunication includes setting at least one direct communication link with at least one second terminal, setting at least one traffic connection with a base station, and forwarding data that is transmitted through the at least one direct communication link from the at least one second terminal to the at least one traffic connection or forwarding data that is transmitted through the at least one traffic connection from the base station to the at least one direct communication link.
