Abstract: There is provided a method for setting and clearing a concurrent service between a mobile switching center (MSC) and a base station, to provide a new service while providing an existing service. The base station forms a signaling link for a first service between the base station and the MSC. Upon receipt of a service request signal for a second service from a packet data service network (PDSN) while providing the first service, the base station sends a resource assignment request for the second service to the MSC through the formed signaling link. The MSC then sends a resource assignment approval signal to the base station through the formed signaling link.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for assigning resource in a mobile communication system.

Abstract: A signaling processing method for allocating a UATI (Unicast Access Terminal Identifier) to a given AT (Access Terminal) in a mobile communication system including ANs (Access Networks) each having an BS (Access Network Controller), for communicating by radio with ATs, and at least one DLR (Data Location Register) connected to BSs, for storing a plurality of UATIs, which can be allocated to the ATs, and managing the remaining UATIs that are not allocated. Upon receipt of a UATI Request message from the AT, the BS transmits a UATI Allocate Request message to the DLR. Upon receipt of the UATI Allocate Request message, the DLR allocates one of the remaining UATIs to the AT and transmits a UATI Allocate Response message including the allocated UATI to the BS. Upon receipt of the UATI Allocate Response message, the BS transmits a UATI Allocate message including the allocated UATI to the AT.

Abstract: A wireless packet data system efficiently manages a location of a packet call in a radio environment. A mobile station transmits a location registration message to a target BSC when moving to the target BSC adjacent to a source BSC. Upon receipt of the location registration message, the target BSC transmits a location update message for updating a location of the mobile station to a centralized database. Upon receipt of the location update message, the centralized database updates dormant state information for the mobile station to connect the target BSC to the source BSC. The centralized database transmits a location update result message indicating complete update of the dormant state information to the target BSC.
