Apparatus and method for handover in broadband wireless communication system for supporting mobile relay station
First Claim
1. A method for performing handover at a Mobile Relay Station (MRS) in place of Mobile Stations (MSs) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting Connection IDs (CIDs) of the MSs, the CIDs pre-allocated by a target Base Station (BS), to the MSs;
sending a resource allocation message comprising uplink resource allocation information for bandwidth request of the MSs, to the MSs;
receiving a bandwidth request message which comprises security authentication information of each MS, from the MSs using an uplink resource allocated through the uplink resource allocation information; and
aggregating bandwidth request messages of the MSs and sending a ranging request message comprising the security authentication information and bandwidth request information of the MSs to the target BS,wherein transmitting the CIDs of the MSs comprises;
sending the handover request message to the serving BS;
receiving a handover response message from the serving BS, the handover response message comprising the CIDs of the MSs pre-allocated by the target BS; and
sending the handover response message comprising the pre-allocated CIDs to the MSs,wherein the CIDs are generated by the target BS, in response to a handover request message from a serving BS,wherein the bandwidth request message is generated by the MSs, using the CIDs, andwherein the ranging request message is generated by the MRS, using the CIDs.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method for handover in a broadband wireless communication system supporting a Mobile Relay Station (MRS) are provided. The method includes transmitting a Connection ID (CID) of Mobile Stations (MSs), the CIDs pre-allocated by a target BS, to the MSs; sending a resource allocation message comprising uplink resource allocation information for bandwidth request of the MSs, to the MSs; receiving a bandwidth request message which comprises security authentication information of each MS, from the MSs using an uplink resource allocated through the uplink resource allocation information; and aggregating bandwidth request messages of the MSs and sending a ranging request message comprising the security authentication information and bandwidth request information of the MSs to the target BS. Thus, the handover delay time, which is inevitable for the bandwidth request in the conventional connection set-up procedure, can be reduced, and the handover with the reliability guaranteed can be achieved by allowing the security related processing in the network re-entry procedure.
