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:

inserting the information about service flows to be provisioned by the base station into the second message; and

transmitting the second message to the mobile station.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a ranging request (RNG-REQ) message from the mobile station including a medium access control (MAC) address of the mobile station; and

transmitting a ranging response (RNG-RSP) message including a basic connection identifier (CID) and a primary management CID for the mobile station to the mobile station.

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

transmitting a first message to a base station; and

receiving a second message including information about service flows to be provisioned by the base station from the base station after transmitting the first message,

wherein the information includes a total number of the service flows to be provisioned by the base station.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the first message is one of a registration request (REG-REQ) message and a subscriber station basic capability request (SBC-REQ) message, the second message is a registration response (REG-RSP) message when the first message is the REG-REQ message, and the second message is a subscriber station basic capability response (SBC-RSP) message when the first message is the SBC-REQ message.

8. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving a Dynamic Service Addition request (DSA-REQ) message from the base station; and

transmitting a Dynamic Service Addition response (DSA-RSP) message to the base station according to the total number of the service flows to be provisioned by the base station.

9. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

transmitting a ranging request (RNG-REQ) message to the base station including a medium access control (MAC) address of the mobile station; and

receiving a ranging response (RNG-RSP) message including a basic connection identifier (CID) and a primary management CID for the mobile station from the base station.

10. An apparatus of a base station for provisioning service flows in a broadband wireless access communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a first message from a mobile station; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a second message including information about service flows to be provisioned by the base station to the mobile station after receiving the first message,

wherein the information includes a total number of the service flows to be provisioned by the base station.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the first message is one of a registration request (REG-REQ) message and a subscriber station basic capability request (SBC-REQ) message, the second message is a registration response (REG-RSP) message when the first message is the REG-REQ message, and the second message is a subscriber station basic capability response (SBC-RSP) message when the first message is the SBC-REQ message.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit a Dynamic Service Addition request (DSA-REQ) message to the mobile station, and

the receiver is configured to receive a Dynamic Service Addition response (DSA-RSP) message from the mobile station according to the total number of the service flows to be provisioned by the base station.

13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the receiver is configured to receive a ranging request (RNG-REQ) message from the mobile station including a medium access control (MAC) address of the mobile station, and
