Method of supporting sleep mode in broadband wireless access system
First Claim

1. A method of supporting sleep mode of a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, comprising:
- receiving, from a MS NCMS, a first primitive that indicates a sleep request;
sending, to a network, a sleep request message;
receiving, from the network, a sleep response message;
sending, to the MS NCMS, a second primitive that indicates a sleep confirmation;
receiving, from the network, a traffic indication message; and
optionally sending, to the MS NCMS, a third primitive that indicates whether there is traffic or not.

Abstract
The primitives between an upper management layer and the MAC layer within a mobile station and a base station are defined in order to specify and clarify the operations within the protocol stack layers in a broadband wireless access system to allow a mobile station to perform sleep mode. Media Independent Handover (MIH) procedures can be achieved because the NCMS and MIH layer can communicate through use of these primitives.

9. A method of supporting sleep mode of a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, comprising:
-
establishing a unified interface to an upper layer of the mobile station for managing messages to and from at least one of a homogeneous network and a heterogeneous network;
sending, to a MS NCMS, a first message that allows the unified interface (MIH) to request a MS MAC to initiate sleep mode;
receiving, from a MS MAC, a second message that indicates confirmation of the initiated sleep mode; and
optionally receiving, from the MS MAC, a third message that indicates whether there is traffic or not. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
