Abstract

A registration response (REG_RSP) message is generated which includes a type field, a length field, and an integrated CID (Connector Identifier) field. The integrated CID field includes an integrated CID inserted thereinto. The integrated CID is configured by using a new CID assigned to the subscriber terminal and an old CID assigned to the subscriber terminal by a current serving base station. The type and length fields include type information and length information of the integrated CID respectively inserted thereinto. The generated REG_RSP message is transmitted to a handover target subscriber terminal. A traffic indicator (TRF_IND) message is generated which includes at least one short BCID (Basic Connector Identifier) field into which a short BCID is inserted. The short BCID is configured by a preset number of bits among a total of bits representing a BCID of a positive subscriber terminal that must receive traffic indication information. The generated TRF_IND is then broadcast.
