CONTROLLING IDLE MODE OF MOBILE SUBSCRIBER STATION IN WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM

摘要

A method of controlling idle mode comprises requesting to enter idle mode by a mobile subscriber station (350) by transmitting an idle mode request (S31) to a serving base station (320) having a serving paging group identifier with which the serving base station (320) is associated. The method also comprises entering the idle mode by receiving an idle mode grant command (S34) from the serving base station (320). The method also comprises initiating a ranging request (S35) between the mobile subscriber station (350) and the target base station (330) associated with the target paging group, wherein the ranging request comprises the serving base station identifier and the serving paging group identifier. The method also comprises connecting with the target base station (S38), wherein the serving base station is informed (S39), by using the serving base station identifier (320), that the mobile subscriber station (350) is not in the idle mode with the serving base station (320).
