METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING SECURITY KEYS FOR COMMUNICATION AUTHENTICATION WITH MOBILE STATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Provided is a method for managing a security key for communication authentication with a Mobile Station (MS) in a communication system. The method includes acquiring a first authentication key by performing an authentication procedure for the communication authentication in a cloud cell having member Base Stations (BSs) that include a master BS and at least one slave BS for providing a service to the MS; and communicating with at least one member BS using a first encryption key that is generated using the first authentication key.
