Apparatus and method for negotiating sleep cycle setting between base station and mobile station in wireless communication system

A method for operating a receiver to negotiate a sleep cycle setting of a Mobile Station (MS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving a DSx request message including sleep cycle setting information from a transmitter;
• determining a change-requiring sleep cycle setting through the DSx request message;
• and
• transmitting a DSx response message to the transmitter,
• wherein, the sleep cycle setting information in the DSx request message includes at least one of the operation request type for indicating changing sleep cycle setting or switching sleep cycle setting, a sleep cycle ID (SCID) for identifying the sleep cycle setting information, a start frame number for indicating a start of a new sleep cycle setting, a next sleep cycle flag (NSCF) for indicating the presence/absence of a new initial sleep cycle in the sleep cycle setting information, a new initial sleep cycle, a initial sleep cycle for indicating an assigned duration for the initial sleep cycle, and the final sleep cycle for indicating an assigned duration for the final sleep cycle, and
• wherein the DSx comprises at least one of a Dynamic Service Addition (DSA), a Dynamic Service Change (DSC), and (a Dynamic Service Deletion DSD).

An apparatus of a transmitter for negotiating a sleep cycle setting of a Mobile Station (MS) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• a transmitting (TX) modem for transmitting a DSx request message including sleep cycle setting information to a receiver;
• and
• a receiving (RX) modem for receiving a DSx response message, from the receiver,
• wherein the sleep cycle setting information in the DSx request message includes at least one of the operation request type for indicating changing sleep cycle setting or switching sleep cycle setting, a sleep cycle ID (SCID) for identifying the sleep cycle setting information, a start frame number for indicating a start of a new sleep cycle setting, a next sleep cycle flag (NSCF) for indicating the presence/absence of a new initial sleep cycle in the sleep cycle setting information, a new initial sleep cycle, a initial sleep cycle for indicating an assigned duration for the initial sleep cycle, and the final sleep cycle for indicating an assigned duration for the final sleep cycle, and
• wherein the DSx comprises at least one of a Dynamic Service Addition (DSA), a Dynamic Service Change (DSC), and a Dynamic Service Deletion (DSD).

An apparatus of a receiver for negotiating a sleep cycle setting of a Mobile Station (MS) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• a receiving (RX) modem for receiving a DSx request message including sleep cycle setting information from a transmitter;
• a service flow managing unit for determining a change-requiring sleep cycle setting through the DSx request message;
• and
• a transmitting (TX) modem for transmitting a DSx response message to the transmitter,
• wherein the sleep cycle setting information in the DSx request message includes at least one of the operation request type for indicating changing sleep cycle setting or switching sleep cycle setting, a sleep cycle ID (SCID) for identifying the sleep cycle setting information, a start frame number for indicating a start of a new sleep cycle setting, a next sleep cycle flag (NSCF) for indicating the presence/absence of a new initial sleep cycle in the sleep cycle setting information, a new initial sleep cycle, a initial sleep cycle for indicating an assigned duration for the initial sleep cycle, and the final sleep cycle for indicating an assigned duration for the final sleep cycle, and
• wherein the DSx comprises at least one of a Dynamic Service Addition (DSA), a Dynamic Service Change (DSC), and a Dynamic Service Deletion (DSD).
