System and method for fast network reentry in a broadband wireless access communication system
A system and method for fast network re-entry in a broadband wireless access communication system. A mobile station transmits a first message requiring fast network re-entry to a base station and performs the fast network re-entry together with the base station when receiving a second message approving the fast network re-entry from the base station. The base station receives the first message, authenticates the first message using final session information of the mobile station that is previously stored in the base station, transmits the second message to the mobile station when succeeding in authentication of the first message, and performs the fast network re-entry together with the mobile station.
1. An apparatus of a serving base station for supporting network re-entry of a mobile station in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
a transmitter for transmitting a deregistration command message including information to a mobile station,
wherein the information includes an transition request into an idle state and session information indicating whether at least one operational information among a network re-entry procedure is retained or omitted.
2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a controller for detecting that the mobile station transitions into the idle state before transmitting the deregistration command message.
3. An apparatus of a mobile station for network re-entry in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
a receiver for receiving a deregistration command message including information from a serving base station,
wherein the information includes an transition request into an idle state and session information indicating whether at least one operational information among a network re-entry procedure is retained or omitted.
4. An apparatus of a target base station for supporting network re-entry of a mobile station in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
a receiver for receiving a ranging request message for the network re-entry from the mobile station in an idle state; and
a transmitter for transmitting, to the mobile station, a ranging response message that includes session information representing whether at least one network re-entry process among a network re-entry procedure is omitted or required.
5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the network re-entry procedure includes a subscriber station basic capability negotiation process and a privacy key management process, which are performed in a conventional network re-entry.
6. An apparatus of a mobile station for network re-entry in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
a transmitter for transmitting, to a target base station, a ranging request message for requesting the network re-entry in an idle state; and
a receiver for receiving, from the target base station, a ranging response message that includes session information representing whether at least one network re-entry process among a network re-entry procedure is omitted or required.
7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the network re-entry procedure includes a subscriber station basic capability negotiation process and a privacy key management process, which are performed in a conventional network re-entry.
8. An apparatus of a mobile station for network re-entry in a broadband wireless access communication system, the apparatus comprising:
a transmitter for transmitting a first message requesting network re-entry to a base station in order to perform network re-entry to the base station in an idle state; and
a receiver for receiving a second message in response to the requesting of the network re-entry from the base station, wherein the second message includes information indicating whether at least one process among a network re-entry procedure may be omitted.
9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a controller for performing the network re-entry with the base station by omitting at least one process among the network re-entry procedure including a plurality of processes performed in a conventional network re-entry based on the information indicating whether at least one process among the network re-entry procedure may be omitted, and performing at least one process that was not omitted.
10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first message includes information indicating any process that may be omitted during the network re-entry procedure including a subscriber station basic capability negotiation process, a privacy key management process, a network address acquisition process, a time information acquisition process, and a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) process, which are performed in a conventional network re-entry.
11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the information indicating whether at least one process among the network re-entry procedure may be omitted indicates at least one process which may be omitted during the network re-entry procedure including a subscriber station basic capability negotiation process, a privacy key management process, a network address acquisition process, a time information acquisition process, and a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) process, which are performed in a conventional network re-entry.
12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 11 , wherein performing the network re-entry with the base station comprises:
omitting at least one process from among the network re-entry procedure including the subscriber station basic capability negotiation process, the privacy key management process, the network address acquisition process, the time information acquisition process, and the TFTP process, based on the information indicating whether at least one process among the network re-entry procedures may be omitted; and
performing at least one process that was not omitted.
