Handover or location update for optimization for relay stations in a wireless network
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- sending, by an apparatus to a first base station, a request to handover a plurality of mobile stations from the first base station to a second base station;
receiving, by the apparatus in a single message received from at least one of the first base station and the second base station, an identifier associated with the second base station for each of the plurality of mobile stations;
determining an identifier associated with the first base station for each of the plurality of mobile stations;
performing a mapping between the identifiers associated with the first base station and corresponding identifiers associated with the second base station; and
communicating with each mobile station using the identifier of the each mobile station that is associated with the first base station, and communicating with the second base station using the identifier of the each mobile station that is associated with the second base station, based on the mapping.

Abstract
Various embodiments are disclosed relating to the optimization of relay station handovers and location update in a wireless network. According to an example embodiment, a request to handover a plurality of mobile stations from a first base station to a second base station may be sent. An identifier associated with the second base station for each of the plurality of mobile stations may be received. In another example embodiment, each of the identifiers is forwarded to the mobile station corresponding to the connection identifier. In another example embodiment, a location update may be performed by sending a message to a network device, such as a target base station, to provide location update information for a plurality of mobile stations. In this manner, one message may be transmitted over a wireless link to facilitate a handover or location update for a plurality of mobile stations.

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
a transmitter configured to send, to a first base station, a request to handover a plurality of mobile stations from the first base station to a second base station; a receiver configured to receive, in a single message received from at least on of the first base station and the second base station, an identifier associated with the second base station for each of the plurality of mobile stations, wherein the apparatus is configured to; determine an identifier associated with the first base station for each of the plurality of mobile stations; perform a mapping between the identifiers associated with the first base station and corresponding identifiers associated with the second base station; and communicate with each mobile station using the identifier of the each mobile station that is associated with the first base station, and communicate with the second base station using the identifier of the each mobile station that is associated with the second base station. - View Dependent Claims (15)
