METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSIGNING SFID IN WORLDWIDE INTEROPERABILITY FOR MICROWAVE ACCESS

摘要

A method for allocating an SFID in a WiMAX network including an ASN and a CSN may include: establishing, by the CSN a service flow in response to a service flow creation request from an MSS, and sending the service flow to the ASN; and allocating, by the ASN, a value that currently is not used by the MSS as an SFID of the service flow requested by the MSS. A system for allocating an SFID in a WiMAX network is also provided. According to the method and system for allocating an SFID in a WiMAX network, after an MSS performs a handover, it is not necessary to notify a function module generating an SFID to release the SFID, thereby simplifying the SFID management.
