Abstract

Disclosed is a system and a method for provisioning service flows in broadband wireless access communication. In a broadband wireless access communication system, if a base station receives a registration request message from a mobile station, and if the base station inserts information about service flows to be provisioned by a base station into a registration response message and transmits the registration response message to the mobile station after the registration request message is received, the mobile station determines if the mobile station transits into a normal operation mode corresponding to the information and exactly recognizes a time point at which the mobile station goes into the normal operation mode.

Claims

1. A method for provisioning service flows in a broadband wireless access communication system, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a registration request message from a mobile station; and

inserting information about service flows to be provisioned by a base station into a registration response message and transmitting the registration response message to the mobile station after the registration request message is received,

wherein the information includes a total number of dynamic service addition message transaction operations according to a number of the service flows to be provisioned by the base station.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dynamic service addition message transaction operation includes an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition request message by the base station and an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition response message by the mobile station.

3. A method for provisioning service flows in a broadband wireless access communication system, the method comprising the steps of:

transmitting a dynamic service addition request message including information about service flows to be provisioned by a base station to a mobile station; and

receiving a dynamic service addition response message from the mobile station after the dynamic service addition request message is transmitted,

wherein the information represents that provisioning for the service flows is being performed or is terminated, and the information representing that the provisioning for the service flows is being performed indicates that an additional dynamic service addition message transaction operation is performed after a current dynamic service addition message transaction operation.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the dynamic service addition message transaction operation includes an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition request message by the base station and an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition response message by the mobile station.

5. A method for provisioning service flows in a broadband wireless access communication system, the method comprising the steps of:

transmitting a dynamic service addition request message including information about service flows to be provisioned by a base station to a mobile station; and

receiving a dynamic service addition response message from the mobile station after the dynamic service addition request message is transmitted,

wherein the information represents that provisioning for the service flows is being performed or is terminated, and the information representing that the provisioning for the service flows is terminated indicates that a current dynamic service addition message transaction operation is the last transaction operation performed.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the dynamic service addition message transaction operation includes an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition request message of the base station and an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition response message of the mobile station.

7. A method for provisioning service flows in a broadband wireless access communication system, the method comprising the steps of:

transmitting a registration request message to a base station; and

receiving a registration response message including information about service flows to be provisioned by the base station from the base station after the registration request message is transmitted,

wherein the information includes a total number of dynamic service addition message transaction operations according to a number of the service flows to be provisioned by the base station.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the dynamic service addition message transaction operation includes an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition request message by the base station and an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition response message by a mobile station.

9. A method for provisioning service flows in a broadband wireless access communication system, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a dynamic service addition request message including information about service flows to be provisioned by a base station from the base station;

transmitting a dynamic service addition response message to the base station after the dynamic service addition request message is received; and

determining whether to transit into a normal operation mode corresponding to the information,

wherein the information represents that provisioning for the service flows is being performed or is terminated, and the information representing that the provisioning for the service flows is being performed indicates that an additional dynamic service addition message transaction operation is performed after a current dynamic service addition message transaction operation.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the dynamic service addition message transaction operation includes an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition request message by the base station and an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition response message by a mobile station.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the dynamic service addition message transaction operation includes an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition request message by the base station and an operation of transmitting a dynamic service addition response message by a mobile station.

11. A method for provisioning service flows in a broadband wireless access communication system, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a dynamic service addition request message including information about service flows to be provisioned by a base station from the base station;

transmitting a dynamic service addition response message to the base station after the dynamic service addition request message is received; and

determining whether to transit into a normal operation mode corresponding to the information,

wherein the information represents that provisioning for the service flows is being performed or is terminated, and the information representing that the provisioning for the service flows is terminated indicates that a current dynamic service addition message transaction operation is the last transaction operation performed.

13. A method for provisioning service flows in a broadband wireless access communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
