SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERIODIC RANGING IN SLEEP MODE IN SLEEP MODE IN A BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A system for a periodic ranging in a BWA communication system. In the system, a receiver in a sleep mode of a wireless communication system receives a sleep mode transition message, which including first information relating to a timing point at which the periodic ranging is performed, from a transmitter, transits to the sleep mode, and performs the periodic ranging at a timing point corresponding to the first information. Accordingly, the periodic ranging of the receiver in the sleep mode can be performed.
