APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING HANDOVER OF TERMINAL IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Provided are an apparatus and a method for performing a handover of a terminal in a wireless communication system. In the method, a ranging code is transmitted to a target base station on which a handover is to be performed. A ranging response message comprising Connection Identification (CID) update information is received from the target base station together with resource assignment information for transmission of a ranging request message. Therefore, fast resumption of downlink data reception of the terminal can be supported through fast CID update during a handover.
