METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING HANDOVER IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for supporting a handover at a source Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system is provided, in which a HandOver CoMmanD (HO-CMD) message is transmitted to a Mobile Station (MS). The HO-CMD message includes a Ranging CHannel (RCH) index of an RCH allocated to the MS by a target BS and a subframe index of the allocated RCH, and the RCH index of the allocated RCH does not overlap with indexes of other RCHs of the target BS.
