Abstract: Reducing a standby period of time for printing includes: registering at least one item of network print information in a host computer; detecting the network printer information registered in the host computer if a command for printing has been selected; transmitting a command for requesting the network printers to transmit information concerning the amount of standby print operations using detected network printer information; evaluating the received information concerning the amount of the standby print operations; detecting a network printer having the least amount of standby print operations and transmitting print data to the detected network printer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile communication system and controlling method thereof for paging and establishing dynamically paging area, which is capable of making paging area dynamically according to position of a receiving mobile station. When a set-up signal is received, the NTP uses identifier of a BTS obtained from the location registration of the mobile station as a key for accessing paging database and accesses paging database by using the key. It makes near cell list using identifier of the BTS of the receiving MS, generates a paging list by extracting BTSs controlled by the same BSC from the near cell list and sends the paging list to each corresponding BTS. The percentage of paging success increases and the time of call connection reduce by establishing a paging area dynamically according to location of the receiving MS and paging in the dynamical paging area.

Abstract: An improved handoff test method for mobile communication stations which is capable of more easily testing a handoff function between switching stations by providing a handoff generation and control apparatus and processing a forward hard handoff and a backward hard handoff using a handoff signal and a control signal outputted from the handoff generation and control apparatus.
