System and method for transmitting and receiving a traffic indication message in a broadband wireless access communication system
First Claim
1. A system for receiving a traffic indication message in a Broadband Wireless Access communication system, the system comprising:
- a mobile subscriber station (MSS) for receiving the traffic indication message from a base station (BS),wherein the traffic indication message includes sleep identifiers (SLPIDs) and a number of positive indications, a number of the SLPIDs being identical to the number of the positive indications,each of the SLPIDs is uniquely assigned by the BS when a corresponding MSS is instructed to enter a sleep mode, andeach of the positive indications represents that traffic is directed to a corresponding MSS.

Abstract
A method for transmitting a traffic indication message for directing a mobile subscriber station (MSS) in a sleep mode to transition to an awake mode in a Broadband Wireless Access communication system supporting the sleep mode and the awake mode. This method includes the steps of individually allocating, to MSSs belonging to a corresponding base station, corresponding areas indicating traffic instructions for the MSSs in a traffic indication field in the traffic indication message, and indicating state transition instructions in the areas allocated to the MSSs, before transmitting the traffic indication message to the MSSs.
