| 20100061289 | METHOD OF PERFORMING AND SUPPORTING HANDOVER IN BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM - A method for performing a handover between MBS zones of a mobile station receiving multicast and broadcast service (MBS) data in a wireless access system is disclosed. The method for performing the handover between first and second MBS zones of the mobile station in a wireless access system includes receiving the MBS from a first base station belonging to the first MBS zone which uses a first MBS zone identifier (ID), requesting the handover between the first and second MBS zones, receiving parameter information including a second MBS zone identifier (ID), from the first base station, and receiving the MBS from a second base station belonging to the second MBS zone, using the parameter information, wherein the second MBS zone uses the second MBS zone identifier (ID) which is needed to receive the MBS. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100067698 | METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY ENCRYPTING CONTROL SIGNAL - Various methods and apparatus for encrypting signals in a wireless access system are disclosed. A method for selectively encrypting a management message in an MS includes steps of generating a Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) including the selectively encrypted management message and an Fragmentation Extended Header (FEH) and transmitting the MAC PDU to the BS. The FEH includes indication information indicating whether the management message was encrypted. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100091733 | METHOD FOR HANDOVER BETWEEN HETEROGENOUS RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS - A method for handover between heterogeneous radio access networks is disclosed. When a multi-mode mobile station performs Inter-RAT handover, pre-authentication is performed before implementing a link layer handover procedure with a target access point. The pre-authentication method has as little an effect on currently served quality of service as possible and the handover is efficiently performed using the pre-authentication method. The pre-authentication is performed through medium independent handover (MIH) and various MIH primitives for pre-authentication are provided. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100093347 | METHOD FOR PERFORMING INITIAL RANGING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method of enabling a mobile station to perform initialization to a base station in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes synchronizing with the base station, obtaining an uplink parameter based on the synchronization, performing initial ranging by using the uplink parameter and establishing security association between the mobile station and the base station while performing the initial ranging. During the initial ranging, a mobile station's unique identifier or control signaling can securely be transmitted. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100118833 | METHOD FOR PERFORMING INITIAL RANGING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method of performing initial ranging in a wireless communication system includes transmitting a ranging request message and receiving a ranging response message including a temporary identifier for a mobile station which transmits the ranging request message. By using the temporary identifier which identifies the mobile station before establishing authentication, it is possible to prevent the MAC address from being exposed to a malicious attacker through a wireless interface and to secure location privacy. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100180111 | METHOD OF ESTABLISHING FAST SECURITY ASSOCIATION FOR HANDOVER BETWEEN HETEROGENEOUS RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS - A method of establishing security association between heterogeneous networks is disclosed. The method comprises a first step of receiving information of heterogeneous networks near a mobile station; a second step of transmitting a request message requesting authentication related information transfer to a target heterogeneous network where the mobile station intends to perform handover, among the heterogeneous networks near the mobile station; and a third step of receiving authentication related information and key related information of the target heterogeneous network. At this time, the first step, the second step, and the third step are preferable performed before handover is performed between heterogeneous networks. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100260142 | METHOD FOR PERFORMING UNCONTROLLED HANDOVER - A device, system and method for performing an uncontrolled handover in a mobile station, a ranging request message including an identifier of a serving base station and a first identifier used in the serving base station is transmitted to a first target base station to perform network (re)entry to the first target base station, and a ranging response message including security information and a second identifier for identifying the mobile station is received from the first target base station. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110154029 | METHOD OF ENCRYPTING CONTROL SIGNALING - A method of protecting control signaling transceived between a mobile station and a base station in a wireless access system is disclosed. And, a method of encrypting control signals selectively is disclosed. The present invention defines new control signal encryption key (CSEK) and group control signal encryption key (GCSEK) for encrypting a control signal and discloses methods of protecting a control signal using the control signal encryption keys. Moreover, although the new control signal encryption key and the like are not used, the present invention efficiently protects control signaling by selectively encrypting control signals. | 06-23-2011 |
