METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING MULTIPLE MAC VERSIONS IN BROADBAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and an apparatus are configured to support a plurality of Media Access Control (MAC) versions in a broadband wireless communication system. An operating method of a terminal to support the multiple MAC versions in the broadband wireless communication system includes receiving a message comprising information of one or more MAC versions supported by a base station, from the base station; and sending information of one or more MAC versions supported by the terminal, to the base station using a message. Thus, in the wireless environment where the multiple MAC versions are mixed, the MAC version can be matched.
