Abstract
A method of controlling idle mode comprises requesting to enter idle mode by a mobile subscriber station by transmitting an idle mode request to a serving base station having a serving paging group identifier with which the serving base station is associated. The method also comprises entering the idle mode by receiving an idle mode grant command from the serving base station. The method also comprises initiating a ranging request between the mobile subscriber station and the target base station 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, wherein the serving base station is informed, by using the serving base station identifier, that the mobile subscriber station is not in the idle mode with the serving base station.
Description
CONTROLLING IDLE MODE OF MOBILE SUBSCRIBER STATION
IN WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM
[DESCRIPTION]
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates generally to a wireless access system and, more particularly, to idle mode in a mobile subscriber station.
BACKGROUND ART
Broadband wireless access systems typically support an idle-mode to minimize the power consumption of a mobile subscriber station (MSS). During the idle-mode, the MSS does not perform a handover procedure when moving between base stations in the same paging zone. Therefore, the MSS does not need to transmit uplink information for the handover procedure, which reduces corresponding power consumption.
A paging zone is defined as a zone that is controlled by a plurality of base stations called a paging group. Each of the base stations in the paging group has the same paging cycle (Paging_Cycle) and the same paging offset (Paging_Offset).
The MSS may make a request to a base station to switch to the idle-mode. The base station then provides a paging message including its paging-group ID, a corresponding paging cycle, and a corresponding paging offset. The corresponding MSS may thus be switched to the idle-mode. During the idle-mode, the MSS may determine whether to continue or terminate the idle-mode based on the paging message provided by the base station at each paging cycle.

The corresponding MSS may thus be switched to the idle-mode. During the idle-mode, the MSS may determine whether to continue or terminate the idle-mode based on the paging message provided by the base station at each paging cycle.
If traffic needs to be transmitted by the MSS while in the idle-mode, the MSS
may terminate the idle-mode. For example, the MSS may be enabled to terminate the idle-mode by the BS. Furthermore, if the MSS moves to another paging zone or loses its sync while in an idle-mode and is unable to receive a paging at a predefined time, the MSS
may terminate the idle-mode.
When the MSS is in the idle-mode, the MSS normally receives a periodic paging to secure its free move in the same paging zone without performing the handover procedure.
In configuring a paging zone, a backbone message (paging-group-action), is transferred by wire between base stations. An exemplary paging-group-action backbone message is shown in Table 1.

Alternatively, the target BS may be informed of the paging group to which a transmitting base station (sender BS) belongs (Action=3).
Since a single base station may belong to one or more paging zones, the paging-group-action backbone message may contain information pertaining to a multitude of paging groups. The base stations may be informed of the paging cycle and offset used in each paging zone via the paging-group-action backbone message. Furthermore, the base stations may be dynamically assigned to the paging groups via the paging-group-action backbone message.
In switching an MSS to an idle mode, a DREG REQ message (one of previous MAC messages) is used. A format of the DREG REQ message is shown in Table 2.

The base stations receiving the paging-announce backbone message perform the paging by matching MAC addresses of MSSs included in the message with the paging cycle and offset within the message.
Consequently, due to the paging-announce backbone message, all of the base stations belonging to a specific paging zone may identically maintain MAC
addresses of MSSs to page. Thus, a specific MSS may receive its paging information at each paging cycle unless the MSS leaves (deviates from) a current paging zone.
A format of a paging message MOB-PAG ADV transmitted to MSSs in the idle mode via paging by each base station is shown in Table 6. The paging message is delivered to MSSs in a broadcast format.

The MSS receives the paging message and may decide whether to maintain the idle mode continuously (Action Code=00), whether to perform ranging to establish a location information update (Action Code=01), and/or whether to terminate the idle mode to receive downlink traffic (Action Code=10).
5 The MSS may terminate the idle mode if the MSS needs to transmit traffic (uplink traffic occurrence). The MSS also may terminate the idle mode if the MSS needs to receive traffic (downlink traffic occurrence). The MSS also may terminate the idle mode if the MSS is unable to receive a periodic paging due to deviation from a current paging zone or due to a transmission problem.

Referring to FIG. 1, a procedure for terminating the idle mode in a MSS is explained, with respect to a case where downlink traffic 101 needs to be delivered to an MSS in an idle mode. Base stations are unaware of the domain to which the MSS
in an idle mode belongs. Downlink traffic is unconditionally delivered to a first base station (initial base station) to which the MSS initially made the request for switching to the idle mode.
Upon receipt of the downlink traffic to the MSS, the initial base station sets an action code to 11 for all base stations lying within the paging zone of the initial base station.
The initial base station then transmits a paging-announce backbone message to the MSS
(S11).
Each of the base stations receive the paging-announce message, sets an action code of a paging message MOV_PAG ADV to 10, and transmits the paging message all of the MSSs lying within the paging zone, in a broadcast format (S 12).
The corresponding MSS receives the paging message, terminates the idle mode, and requests a second base station (current base station) that is in charge of the paging zone where the MSS currently lies, for a re-registration to a network (S13). The second base station receives a base station ID of the first base station via the paging-announce message.
The second base station receives the re-registration request and sets an action flag of an MSS-Info-Request backbone message to 1. The MSS-Info-Request backbone message is communicated between base stations by wire, and then transmitted to notify the first base station that the MSS is seeking to exit the paging zone (S14).

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
The present invention may be used in the context of the IEEE802 broadband wireless access system standard. Alternatively, the present invention may be used in the context of any type of wireless access system.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a procedure for terminating an idle mode of a mobile subscriber station (MSS) in a wireless access system, according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, an MSS 250 in an idle mode within a first paging zone 225 is shown. The MSS 250 is also shown as moved to a second paging zone 235. A
procedure for terminating the idle mode of the MSS 250 in the first paging zone 225 may be executed.
With reference to terminating the idle mode, each paging zone may use a different paging cycle and a different paging offset. When the MSS 250, which was in the idle mode within the first paging zone 225, moves into the second paging zone 235, the MSS 250 may not be able to receive a periodic paging. A first base station (initial base station) 220 may allow the MSS 250 to switch to the idle mode in the first paging zone 225.
The MSS 250 may terminate the idle mode and request a second base station 230 within the second paging zone 235 for a re-registration to a network (S21).
The second base station 230 maybe unaware of a base station ID of the first base station 220.
The MSS 250 may therefore provide the base station ID of the first base station 220 when requesting the re-registration to the network.
To provide the base station ID of the first base station 220 to the second base station 230, a network re-registration request message (e.g., RNG_REQ) may be used. A
preferable configuration of the RNG REQ message is shown in Table 8.
[Table 8]

Basic CID 6 2 Basic CID allocated from the former serving BS

ID allowing MSS to enter an idle mode The second base station 230 may receive the re-registration request from the MSS
250 and may set an action flag of an MSS-Info-Request backbone message to 2 (i.e., to indicate that the MSS 250 has moved to another paging zone, cf. Table 7). The second base station 230 may deliver the MSS-Info-Request backbone message to the first base station 220 (S22). Furthermore, upon receipt of the base station ID of the first base station 220 from the MSS 250, the second base station 230 may transmit the MSS-Info-Request backbone message to the first base station 220.
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
The present invention may be used in the context of the IEEE802 broadband wireless access system standard. Alternatively, the present invention may be used in the context of any type of wireless access system.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a procedure for terminating an idle mode of a mobile subscriber station (MSS) in a wireless access system, according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, an MSS 250 in an idle mode within a first paging zone 225 is shown. The MSS 250 is also shown as moved to a second paging zone 235. A
procedure for terminating the idle mode of the MSS 250 in the first paging zone 225 may be executed.
With reference to terminating the idle mode, each paging zone may use a different paging cycle and a different paging offset. When the MSS 250, which was in the idle mode within the first paging zone 225, moves into the second paging zone 235, the MSS 250 may not be able to receive a periodic paging. A first base station (initial base station) 220 may allow the MSS 250 to switch to the idle mode in the first paging zone 225.
The MSS 250 may terminate the idle mode and request a second base station 230 within the second paging zone 235 for a re-registration to a network (S21).
The second base station 230 maybe unaware of a base station ID of the first base station 220.
The MSS 250 may therefore provide the base station ID of the first base station 220 when requesting the re-registration to the network.
To provide the base station ID of the first base station 220 to the second base station 230, a network re-registration request message (e.g., RNG_REQ) may be used. A
preferable configuration of the RNG REQ message is shown in Table 8.

250 and may set an action flag of an MSS-Info-Request backbone message to 2 (i.e., to indicate that the MSS 250 has moved to another paging zone, cf. Table 7). The second base station 230 may deliver the MSS-Info-Request backbone message to the first base station 220 (S22). Furthermore, upon receipt of the base station ID of the first base station 220 from the MSS 250, the second base station 230 may transmit the MSS-Info-Request backbone message to the first base station 220.
The first base station 220 receives the MSS-Info-Request from the second base station 230 and may notify the base stations within the paging zone of the first base station 220, i.e. within the first paging zone 225, that the MSS 250 has terminated the idle mode and is to be deleted from a paging list. Each of the base stations within the first paging zone 225 may receive the notification of termination of the idle mode by the MSS
250 and may delete the MSS 250 from the paging list to terminate the idle mode for the MSS
250.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating idle mode control in a wireless access system having a paging controller, according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, when an MSS 350 attempts to enter an idle mode, the MSS
350 may transmit an idle mode entry request (e.g., DREG-REQ) message to a serving BS to which the MSS 350 belongs, such as a first BS 320, to request an idle mode entry (S3 1).
The DREG-REQ message may include information pertaining to a request for de-registration from the serving BS to which the MSS 350 belongs (e.g., de-registration request code), as well as TLV encoded information (e.g., Paging Cycle Request TLV, Idle Mode Retain Information TLV, MAC Hash Skip Threshold TLV).
The first BS 320 may receive the idle mode entry request message from the MSS
350 and may transmit an idle mode information request message to provide information pertaining to the MSS 350 requesting the idle mode entry to a paging controller 370 (S32).
