Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving a connection identification (CID) in a communication system is provided. Upon detecting a need for its handover, a mobile station (MS) transmits a handover request message to a first base station (BS) in communication with the MS. Upon receiving the handover request message, the first BS transmits at least one CID for connection setup to a second BS to which the MS will perform handover, to the MS along with a handover response message in response to the handover request message. The MS receives the CID through the handover response message.
Claims24
A method for managing connection identifiers (CIDs) of a mobile station in a communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting a downlink message comprising a set value to be used for determining a primary management connection identifier for the mobile station;
- and
- autonomously allocating the primary management connection identifier of the mobile station by adding the set value to a basic connection identifier of the mobile station when the basic connection identifier is pre-allocated to the mobile station during handover.
A method for managing connection identifiers (CIDs) of a mobile station in a communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a downlink message comprising a set value to be used for determining a primary management connection identifier of the mobile station;
- and
- determining the primary management connection identifier of the mobile station allocated autonomously by adding the set value to a basic connection identifier of the mobile station when the basic connection identifier is pre-allocated to the mobile station during handover.
An apparatus in a base station for managing connection identifiers (CIDs) of a mobile station in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit a downlink message including a set value to be used for determining a primary management connection identifier of the mobile station;
- and
- a CID assigner configured to autonomously allocate the primary management connection identifier of the mobile station by adding the set value to a basic connection identifier of the mobile station when the basic connection identifier is pre-allocated to the mobile station during handover.
An apparatus in a mobile station for managing connection identifiers (CIDs) of the mobile station in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a downlink message including a set value to be used for determining a primary management connection identifier of the mobile station;
- and
- a CID calculator configured to determine the primary management connection identifier of the mobile station allocated autonomously by adding the set value to a basic connection identifier of the mobile station when the basic connection identifier is pre-allocated to the mobile station during handover.
