GROUP HANDOVER METHOD AND APPARATUS IN BROADBAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS MOBILE RELAY STATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a group handover method and apparatus in a broadband wireless communication system that supports a mobile relay station. The method for group handover of a mobile relay station by a serving base station comprises: examining whether a relay station is a simple type mobile relay station that can forward a signal when a measurement report message is received from the relay station; collecting information related to a handover of the mobile relay station and mobile terminals that belong to the mobile relay station from pre-stored information; transmitting the collected handover related information to a target base station to request a handover of the mobile relay station and mobile terminals; and receiving from the target base station a message indicating approval of the handover of the mobile relay station and mobile terminals.
