APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING PERSONAL NETWORKING IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of supporting personal networking by a personal server in a mobile communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a request from a mobile station;
registering a current position of the mobile station and a required Quality of Service (QoS) in response to a request of the mobile station;
when a handover is made from a resource management system of a service provider B to a resource management system of a service provider A, requesting movement of a user agent to the resource management system of the service provider A based on the current position of the mobile station and the required QoS; and
when the movement of the user agent is completed, receiving a user information update request for updating a result of a QoS negotiation by the required QoS, and information on a selected access network, from the resource management system of the service provider A.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for supporting personal networking by a personal server in a mobile communication system. A request is received from a mobile station. A current position of the mobile station and a required QoS are registered in response to a request of the mobile station. When a handover is made from a resource management system of a service provider B to a resource management system of a service provider A, movement of a user agent to the resource management system of the service provider A is requested based on the current position of the mobile station and the required QoS. When the movement of the user agent is completed, a user information update request is received for updating a result of a QoS negotiation by the required QoS, and information on a selected access network, from the resource management system of the service provider A.

6. A method of supporting personal networking by a resource management system of a service provider A, the method comprising the steps of:
-
when a handover is made from a resource management system of a service provider B to the resource management system of the service provider A, receiving, from a personal server, a request for a movement of a user agent based on a current position of a mobile station and a required Quality of Service (QoS); performing a QoS negotiation between the user agent and a resource manager by the required QoS; when the QoS negotiation has succeeded, selecting an access network that the mobile station will access; and requesting an update of user information to update a result of the QoS negotiation by the required QoS and information on the selected access network. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. An apparatus for supporting personal networking in a personal server in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a storage unit that registers a current position of a mobile station and a required QoS in response to a request of the mobile station; a controller that, when a handover is made from a resource management system of a service provider B to a resource management system of a service provider A, requests movement of a user agent to the resource management system of the service provider A based on the current position of the mobile station and the required QoS; and a receiver that receives a request from the mobile station and, when the movement of the user agent is completed, receives a user information update request for updating a result of a QoS negotiation by the required QoS, and information on a selected access network, from the resource management system of the service provider A. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An apparatus for supporting personal networking in a resource management system of a service provider A, the apparatus comprising:
-
a receiver that, when a handover is made from a resource management system of a service provider B to the resource management system of the service provider A is made, receives a request for a movement of a user agent from a personal server based on a current position of a mobile station and a required Quality of Service (QoS); a resource handler that, when a QoS negotiation between the user agent and a resource manager is made by the required QoS and the QoS negotiation has succeeded, selects an access network that the mobile station will access; and a sub module that requests an update of user information to update a result of the QoS negotiation by the required QoS and information on the selected access network. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
