1. A method for interworking between an access control router and a position determination entity in a position recognition system based on a portable Internet, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting, by the position determination entity to the access control router, a socket connection request;
determining, by the position determination entity, if a socket connection response is received in response to the socket connection request within a predetermined period of time after transmitting the socket connection request;
transmitting, by the position determination entity, an alive request regarding a currently connected port, when it is determined that the socket connection response has been received;
transmitting, to the access control router, a position determination request including a message for requesting a position determination, after receiving a response to the alive request;
performing, by the position determination entity, position determination by using a measurement value included in a response to the position determination request;
retransmitting the alive request a predetermined number of times, when the response to the alive request fails to be received within a predetermined period of time after transmitting the alive request; and
releasing the socket connection, when the response to the alive request fails to be received, after retransmission is performed the predetermined number of times.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for interworking between an ACR and a PDE in a position recognition system based on a portable Internet and a system therefor. A scheme for TCP/IP-based socket connection between the PDE and the ACR is defined. A data packet transmitted and received between the PDE and the ACR is also defined so that the PDE can receive a necessary measurement value from the ACR during position determination. The definition of the interworking between the ACR and the PDE serves as a basis for accommodating various services.
