Method for identifying connection, mobile station and base station
First Claim
1. A method for identifying a transport connection between a base station and a mobile station (MS) uniquely in a domain of a cell or sector using a tuple <
- MS ID, Connection ID>
in connection-oriented MAC, comprising;
assigning a MS ID to the mobile station when the mobile station enters into the coverage area of the base station wherein the MS ID is unique in the domain of a cell or a sector; and
assigning a connection ID to a connection when the connection is established between the base station and the mobile station, wherein the connection ID is unique in the domain of the mobile station and the combination of the MS ID and the connection ID is used to identify one connection uniquely in the domain of the mobile station.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method for identifying a connection, mobile station and base station. The method comprises the steps of: assigning a MS ID to the mobile station when the mobile station enters into the coverage area of the base station; and assigning a connection ID to a connection when the connection is established between the base station and the mobile station. With the proposed solution, the data overhead could be reduced due to short Connection ID instead of 16-bit CID in 802.16e, especially for VoIP traffic. In addition, due to adjustable bit-length of Connection ID, the tuple <MS ID, Connection ID> could flexibly support different numbers of connections while keeping overhead in minimal.

12. A mobile station (MS), which is identified by an MS ID of a tuple <
- MS ID, Connection ID>
assigned from a base station in connection-oriented MAC when the mobile station enters into a coverage area of the base station, the mobile station comprising;a receiver configured to receive a message including a connection ID; and a connector configured to establish a connection with the base station based on the connection ID, wherein the MS ID is unique in the domain of a cell or a sector and the connection ID is unique in the domain of the mobile station and the combination of the MS ID and the connection ID is used to identify one connection uniquely in the domain of the mobile station.
