First switching node can be portable terminal, switching target can be relay station or base station, for providing the former service node of service, portable terminal can be relay station or base station, promptly, in the variable more same sub-district of former service relay stations or the sub-district outside new relay station or base station, in the also variable more same sub-district of former serving BS or the sub-district outside new relay station or base station.Switching can be initiated by portable terminal, also can be initiated by former service relay stations or former serving BS.

Now in conjunction with specific embodiments, the changing method under the above-mentioned multiple situation is elaborated.

Fig. 5 is the flow chart of first embodiment of the changing method of portable terminal initiation.In this embodiment, for portable terminal provides the low ability relay station that is of service, be another relay station in base station, the same sub-district or another relay station of different districts for low ability relay station provides the base station that is of service, the switching target of portable terminal.Wherein, low ability relay station can only carry out transparent transmission to message, does not change the message content of MAC, does not have the ability that generates, revises or stop for the signaling that relates in the handoff procedure.The reason that portable terminal initiates to switch can move in the service range of another one relay station for the service range of portable terminal by the low ability relay station of former service, perhaps move to the coverage of another one base station, portable terminal is in order to obtain better service quality, and the relay station or the base station of its service is replaced by in request.

As shown in Figure 5, this embodiment comprises following several steps:

Step S501: carry out switching target reselection procedure process, the main purpose of this process is to make portable terminal obtain the tabulation and the information thereof of neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station, can be realized by following manner:

Portable terminal obtains the tabulation of neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station from neighbours' broadcast MOB_NBR-ADV, MOB_NBR-ADV message is the broadcast that low ability relay station of former service or former serving BS send, all portable terminals or relay station in the service range of former service relay stations or former serving BS can receive, wherein, portable terminal can obtain operator's identifier from MOB_NBR-ADV message, the config update counter, divide block identification, total piecemeal number, the number of neighbor site, the relevant information of each neighbor site, relevant information can comprise the physical characteristic identifier of each website, frequency allocation situation, the EIRP of website (equivalent isotropically radiated power, equivalent isotropically radiated power), BSID (Base Station Identification), the leading numbering of signal, the handoff procedure parameters optimization, supported dispatching services type, DCD (Downlink Channel Descriptor, downlink channel descriptor) config update counting, UCD (Uplink Channel Descriptor, uplink channel descriptor) config update counting and security information, certainly, these information are optional a bit, in addition, portable terminal is the acquisition MOB_NBR-ADV message of property at interval, and the neighbours' relay station in the MOB_NBR-ADV message or the tabulation of neighbours base station might be upgraded;

Portable terminal optionally scans or measures neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station, for example, the target that portable terminal can be selected scanning or measure from a plurality of tabulations that obtain, in scanning or the measuring process, portable terminal carries out synchronously scanning or neighbours' relay station of measuring or the down link of neighbours base station, and downstream signal is measured;

If portable terminal is thought the insufficient or other reasons of information that obtains, can also be on the basis of scanning, portable terminal continues the neighbours' relay station that is scanned or the up link of neighbours base station are found range, and to obtain ranging parameters, this process is called associating.

Portable terminal can obtain the available professional skill prediction in neighbours base station measured result, neighbours base station, ranging parameters from scanning or combined process.Wherein, in scanning process, portable terminal is only measured potential target base station, can only obtain neighbours' base station measurement result, combined process then is on the basis of scanning, and potential target base station is united range finding, to obtain the available professional skill prediction in ranging parameters and base station.Measured result can comprise average CINR (Carrier interference ratio), RSSI (Received Signal Stengh Indicator, received signal intensity indication), path delay back and forth at relative delay, grappling station, ranging parameters can comprise that the time adjusts parameter, power level adjustment, frequency adjustment, distance measuring states.

By above-mentioned steps, portable terminal has obtained the information of neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station.

Step S502: initiation of switching and judging process, the main purpose of this process are to make portable terminal select one as target relay station or target BS from candidate target relay station or candidate target BS, can be realized by following manner:

Portable terminal sends handoff request message MOB_MSHO-REQ to former service relay stations, because former service relay stations is low ability relay station, so former service relay stations is given former serving BS with the MOB_MSHO-REQ forwards, MOB_MSHO-REQ message is represented mobile terminal request candidate target relay station or base station;

Former serving BS returns switching response message MOB_BSHO-RSP to former service relay stations, and former service relay stations is given portable terminal with the MOB_BSHO-RSP forwards, carries the information of at least one candidate target relay station or base station in the MOB_BSHO-RSP message;

Portable terminal is assessed candidate target relay station or base station, and to former service relay stations transmission switch indicating information MOB_HO_IND, former service relay stations is given former serving BS with the MOB_HO-IND forwards, MOB_HO-IND message is represented the target relay station of portable terminal selection or the decision of base station, that is, target relay station or the base station of selecting which relay station or base station conduct to switch is described.

If the switching target of portable terminal is a target relay station, information such as the switching target notice that then former serving BS will be selected portable terminal provides serving base station for target relay station, for providing serving base station, target relay station sends switch indicating information to target relay station again, with switching identifier (if being assigned with in MOB_BSHO-RSP) and start-up time that the notification target relay station is assigned with, the form of switch indicating information is as shown in table 1:

Table 1 switch indicating information form

After said process is finished, former service relay stations stop with portable terminal between communicate by letter.

Need to prove that the MOB_HO-IND message that portable terminal sends can have various states,, represent that then portable terminal will carry out switching if for discharging former service relay stations state, stop with former service relay stations between communicate by letter; If be disarmed state, then former serving BS resends MOB_BSHO-RSP message, to recommend candidate target relay station or base station again; If be the cancellation state, then portable terminal and former serving BS all will be cancelled handover operation, return to normal operating conditions.

Need to prove that also candidate target relay station that former service relay stations or former serving BS provide or base station can be identical in neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station that step S501 obtains with portable terminal, also can part identical, can also be inequality fully.

Step S503: the down link of portable terminal and target relay station or base station carries out synchronously, the main purpose of this process is to make portable terminal can successfully obtain the up link of target relay station or base station and the transmission parameter of down link, if from MOB_NBR-ADV message, obtain the sign of target relay station or base station before the portable terminal, operating frequency, DCD (Downlink Channel Descriptor, downlink channel descriptor), UCD (Uplink Channel Descriptor, uplink channel descriptor) parameter then can be accelerated synchronous process.

Step S504: finish network and reenter process, the main purpose of this process is to make portable terminal and target relay station or base station obtain the other side's relevant information respectively, prepares for follow-up normal information, and this process comprises:

Carry out CDMA sign indicating number ranging process, a purpose of this process is to make the up link of portable terminal and target relay station or base station reach synchronous;

Target relay station or base station are that portable terminal distributes range measurement resource;

Portable terminal sends distance measurement request message RNG-REQ to target relay station or base station, carries the sign of the sign of portable terminal, former serving BS or relay station and the sign of range finding type among the RNG-REQ, and the sign of range finding type represents to switch range finding;

Ranging response message RNG-RSP is returned to portable terminal in target relay station or base station, RNG-RSP message can carry target relay station or the base station is basic CID (ConnectionIdentifier connects identifier), main management CID, target relay station or the relevant informations such as service in base station providing capability, handoff procedure optimization that portable terminal distributes;

Carry out network and reenter the subsequent step of process, if switching target is a target BS, then the network subsequent step that reenters process comprises successively: re-authentication process, basic capability negotiation process, heavy enrollment process, Business Stream are rebuild upright process.

Wherein, in the re-authentication process, portable terminal sends authentication request message to target BS, and authentication request message is carried sign, the digital certificate of portable terminal;

If target BS assert that portable terminal is legal, then to portable terminal return authentication response message, target BS distributes authenticate key to portable terminal in authentication response message;

After portable terminal is received authentication response message, just can further send secret key request message, to the target base station requests business cipher key;

Target BS is to portable terminal " return " key" response message, and target BS is given portable terminal distribution service key in key response message.

In basic capability negotiation process, the portable terminal handling capacity is consulted system parameters and the function that request can be supported to target base station requests oneself, and the target BS handling capacity consults to reply the function notice portable terminal that target BS is agreed.

In heavy enrollment process, the IP version that portable terminal oneself is supported to the target BS registration by register request message, management mode etc., IP version and management mode that target BS is supported to the portable terminal reporting system in enrollment response message.

Rebuild in the upright process at Business Stream, portable terminal is set up the type and QoS (the Quality of Service thereof of requested service stream and Business Stream by traffic request message, service quality) parameter, target BS is set up at Business Stream and is agreed in the response message or refuse to set up Business Stream, and portable terminal is set up in the acknowledge message at Business Stream response message is confirmed.

In above-mentioned each process,, then reenter in the process and just can omit corresponding step at network if informed in the handoff procedure parameters optimization in RNG-RSP message that portable terminal can dispense some step.

If switching target is a target relay station, then the network subsequent step that reenters process also can comprise successively: re-authentication process, basic capability negotiation process, heavy enrollment process, Business Stream are rebuild upright process.No matter target relay station is high ability relay station or low ability relay station, it can the transparent transmission portable terminal and interactive messages between the serving BS of service is provided for target relay station, so, finish the subsequent step that network reenters process for target relay station provides the serving BS of service can act on behalf of target relay station.

Need to prove that if target relay station or base station obtain the time that portable terminal will be found range in advance, then needn't carry out the range finding of CDMA sign indicating number, non-competing range measurement resource can directly be distributed for portable terminal in target relay station or base station.

Step S505: former service relay stations stop with portable terminal between communicate by letter and context, context for example is information, ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request in the formation, the access request) state machine, counter, timer or head compression relevant information etc., if former service relay stations does not possess the communication of termination and contextual ability, then can finish this process by former serving BS, former service relay stations only needs transparent transmission signaling or message to get final product.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, what provide service for portable terminal is former service relay stations, if what provide service for portable terminal is former serving BS, then the step of Qie Huaning and each step shown in Figure 5 are basic identical, as long as change communicating by letter of carrying out between portable terminal and the former service relay stations into carry out between portable terminal and the former serving BS communicate by letter.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, if switching target be and the target relay station of former service relay stations in same cells, then needn't carry out context and stop, can omit step S505; If switching target is and the target relay station of former service relay stations in different districts, then in step S501, the tabulation that former service relay stations provides can be the tabulation of neighbours base station and/or the tabulation of the relay station in these neighbours' base station ranges, former service relay stations can obtain these list informations to former serving BS request, if former serving BS does not have these list informations or list information substantial, out-of-date, then can obtain these list informations to core net.

Fig. 6 is the flow chart of second embodiment of the changing method of portable terminal initiation.In this embodiment, for portable terminal provide service for high ability relay station, be another relay station in base station, the same sub-district or another relay station of different districts for high ability relay station provides the base station that is of service, the switching target of portable terminal.Wherein, high ability relay station can change the message content of MAC, has the ability of generation, modification or termination for the signaling that relates in the handoff procedure.The reason that portable terminal initiates to switch can move in the service range of another one relay station for the service range of portable terminal by former service relay stations, perhaps move to the coverage of another one base station, portable terminal is in order to obtain better service quality, and the relay station or the base station of its service is replaced by in request.

Fig. 9 is the flow chart of first embodiment of the changing method of relay station initiation.In this embodiment, for relay station provide service for the base station, the switching target of relay station is another relay station in base station, the same sub-district or another relay station of different districts.The reason that relay station initiates to switch can move in the coverage of another one base station for the coverage of relay station by former serving BS, perhaps move to the service range of another one relay station, relay station is in order to obtain better service quality, and the relay station or the base station of its service is replaced by in request.

As shown in Figure 9, this embodiment comprises following several steps:

Step S901: carry out switching target reselection procedure process, the main purpose of this process is to make relay station obtain the tabulation and the information thereof of neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station, can be realized by following manner:

Relay station obtains the tabulation of neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station from neighbours' broadcast MOB_NBR-ADV, MOB_NBR-ADV message is the broadcast that former serving BS sends, all relay stations or portable terminal in the service range of former serving BS can receive, wherein, relay station can obtain operator's identifier from MOB_NBR-ADV message, the config update counter, divide block identification, total piecemeal number, the number of neighbor site, the relevant information of each neighbor site, relevant information can comprise the physical characteristic identifier of each website, frequency allocation situation, the EIRP of website, BSID, the leading numbering of signal, the handoff procedure parameters optimization, supported dispatching services type, DCD config update counting, UCD config update counting and security information, certainly, these information are optional a bit, in addition, relay station is the acquisition MOB_NBR-ADV message of property at interval, and the neighbours' relay station in the MOB_NBR-ADV message or the tabulation of neighbours base station might be upgraded;

Relay station optionally scans or measures neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station, for example, the target that relay station can be selected scanning or measure from a plurality of tabulations that obtain, in scanning or the measuring process, relay station carries out synchronously scanning or neighbours' relay station of measuring or the down link of neighbours base station, and downstream signal is measured;

If relay station is thought the insufficient or other reasons of information that obtains, can also be on the basis of scanning, relay station continues the neighbours' relay station that is scanned or the up link of neighbours base station are found range, and to obtain ranging parameters, this process is called associating.

By above-mentioned steps, relay station has obtained the information of neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station.

Step S902: initiation of switching and judging process, the main purpose of this process are to make relay station select a target relay station or target BS from candidate target relay station or candidate target BS, can be realized by following manner:

Relay station sends handoff request message MOB_RSHO-REQ to former serving BS, and MOB_RSHO-REQ message is represented relay station request candidate target relay station or base station;

Former serving BS returns the information of carrying at least one candidate target relay station or base station in the switching response message MOB_BSHO-RSPMOB_BSHO-RSP message to relay station;

Relay station is assessed candidate target relay station or base station, and to former serving BS transmission switch indicating information MOB_HO-IND, MOB_HO-IND message is represented the target relay station of relay station selection or the decision of base station, that is, target relay station or the base station of selecting which relay station or base station conduct to switch is described.

If the switching target of relay station is a target relay station, information such as the switching target notice that then former serving BS will be selected relay station provides serving base station for target relay station, for providing serving base station, target relay station sends switch indicating information to target relay station again, with switching identifier (if being assigned with in MOB_BSHO-RSP) and start-up time that the notification target relay station is assigned with, the form of switch indicating information is as shown in table 1.

After said process is finished, former serving BS stop with relay station between communicate by letter.

Need to prove that the MOB_HO-IND message that relay station sends can have various states,, represent that then relay station will carry out switching if for discharging former service relay stations state, stop with former serving BS between communicate by letter; If be disarmed state, then former serving BS resends MOB_BSHO-RSP message, to recommend candidate target relay station or base station again; If be the cancellation state, then relay station and former serving BS all will be cancelled handover operation, return to normal operating conditions.

Need to prove that also candidate target relay station that former serving BS provides or base station can be identical in neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station that step S901 obtains with relay station, also can part identical, can also be inequality fully.

Step S903: the down link of relay station and target relay station or base station carries out synchronously, the main purpose of this process is to make relay station obtain target relay station or the up link of base station and the transmission parameter of down link, if from MOB_NBR-ADV message, obtain sign, operating frequency, DCD (the Downlink Channel Descriptor of target relay station or base station before the portable terminal, downlink channel descriptor), UCD (Uplink Channel Descriptor, uplink channel descriptor) parameter then can be accelerated synchronous process.

Step S904: finish network and reenter process, the main purpose of this process is to make relay station and target relay station or base station obtain the other side's relevant information respectively, prepares for follow-up normal information, and this process comprises:

Carry out CDMA sign indicating number ranging process, a purpose of this process is to make the up link of relay station and target relay station or base station reach synchronous;

Target relay station or base station are that relay station distributes range measurement resource;

Relay station sends distance measurement request message RNG-REQ to target relay station or base station, carries the sign of the sign of relay station, former serving BS or relay station and the sign of range finding type among the RNG-REQ, and the sign of range finding type represents to switch range finding;

Ranging response message RNG-RSP is returned to relay station in target relay station or base station, RNG-RSP message can carry target relay station or the base station is basic CID (ConnectionIdentifier connects identifier), main management CID, target relay station or the relevant informations such as service in base station providing capability, handoff procedure optimization that relay station distributes;

Wherein, in the re-authentication process, relay station sends authentication request message to target BS, and authentication request message is carried sign, the digital certificate of relay station;

If target BS assert that relay station is legal, then to relay station return authentication response message, target BS distributes authenticate key to relay station in authentication response message;

After relay station is received authentication response message, just can further send secret key request message, to the target base station requests business cipher key;

Target BS is to relay station " return " key" response message, and target BS is given relay station distribution service key in key response message.

In basic capability negotiation process, the relay station handling capacity is consulted system parameters and the function that request can be supported to target base station requests oneself, and the target BS handling capacity consults to reply the function notice relay station that target BS is agreed.

In heavy enrollment process, the IP version that relay station oneself is supported to the target BS registration by register request message, management mode etc., IP version and management mode that target BS is supported to the relay station reporting system in enrollment response message.

Rebuild in the upright process at Business Stream, relay station is set up the type and the qos parameter thereof of requested service stream and Business Stream by traffic request message, target BS is set up at Business Stream and is agreed in the response message or refuse to set up Business Stream, and relay station is set up in the acknowledge message at Business Stream response message is confirmed.

In above-mentioned each process,, then reenter in the process and just can omit corresponding step at network if informed in the handoff procedure parameters optimization in RNG-RSP message that relay station can dispense some step.

If switching target is a target relay station, then the network subsequent step that reenters process also can comprise successively: re-authentication process, basic capability negotiation process, heavy enrollment process, Business Stream are rebuild upright process.No matter target relay station is high ability relay station or low ability relay station, it can the transparent transmission relay station and interactive messages between the serving BS of service is provided for target relay station, so, finish the subsequent step that network reenters process for target relay station provides the serving BS of service can act on behalf of target relay station.

Need to prove that if target relay station or base station obtain the time that relay station will be found range in advance, then needn't carry out the range finding of CDMA sign indicating number, non-competing range measurement resource can directly be distributed for relay station in target relay station or base station.

Step S905: former serving BS stop with portable terminal between communicate by letter and context, context for example is the information in the formation, ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request inserts request) state machine, counter, timer or head compression relevant information etc.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 9, what the relay station that switches for initiation provided service is former serving BS, if what the relay station that switches for initiation provided service is a service relay stations, then the step of Qie Huaning and each step shown in Figure 9 are basic identical, as long as change communicating by letter of carrying out between relay station and the former serving BS into receive and dispatch between service relay stations forward relay station and the former serving BS message.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 9,, then needn't carry out context and stop, can omit step S905 if switching target is the target relay station of former serving BS service; If switching target is the target relay station in the different districts, then in step S901, the tabulation that former serving BS provides can be the tabulation of neighbours base station and/or the tabulation of the relay station in these neighbours' base station ranges, if former serving BS does not have these list informations or list information substantial, out-of-date, then can obtain these list informations to core net.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 9, because when relay station is changed serving BS, the portable terminal of relay station service does not also know to change for its serving base station, so, relay station is after finishing context termination step, also need to send portable terminal parameter updating request message to target BS, target BS can return portable terminal parameter update response message to relay station, the parameter update response message can carry the parameter update information of all portable terminals of relay station service, and relay station sends RNG-RSP message to all portable terminals of serving respectively after receiving the parameter update response message.

Target BS is after receiving portable terminal parameter updating request message, can also directly generate RNG-RSP message, RNG-RSP message can be carried the parameter update information of all portable terminals of relay station service, relay station is transmitted RNG-RSP message to all portable terminals of service respectively after receiving RNG-RSP message, and portable terminal parameter updating request message format and portable terminal parameter update response message format are respectively shown in table 4 and table 5.

Table 5 portable terminal parameter update response message format

In addition, after relay station is finished switching, and before target BS sends portable terminal parameter updating request message, can judge that also accepting relay station originally provides the portable terminal of service whether also accepting the service that relay station provides.Relay station can be taked such judgment mode, promptly, if relay station can periodically receive the distance measurement request of portable terminal, illustrate that then portable terminal also accepting the service that relay station provides, otherwise, illustrate that portable terminal do not accepted the service that relay station provides, relay station can also be taked such judgment mode, promptly, the portable terminal that the relay station request was accepted to serve originally carries out periodic distance measurement request, if portable terminal can send distance measurement request to relay station, illustrates that then portable terminal also accepting the service that relay station provides, otherwise, illustrate that portable terminal do not accepted the service that relay station provides.If relay station determines that accepting relay station originally provides the portable terminal of service also accepting the service that relay station provides, then send portable terminal parameter updating request message to target BS, otherwise, needn't send portable terminal parameter updating request message to target BS.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 9, switching is initiated by relay station, in actual applications, the base station also can initiate to switch, the difference of handoff procedure and process shown in Figure 9 is, in step S902, former serving BS at first sends handoff request message MOB_BSHO-REQ to relay station, carry the information of at least one candidate target relay station or base station in the MOB_RSHO-REQ message, relay station is assessed candidate target relay station or base station, and to former serving BS transmission switch indicating information MOB_HO-IND, MOB_HO-IND message is represented the target relay station of relay station selection or the decision of base station, that is, target relay station or the base station of selecting which relay station or base station conduct to switch is described.

In the process that relay station initiates to switch, the portable terminal of relay station service also can initiate to switch, in this case, relay station can received MOB_HO-IND message that portable terminal sends and with after portable terminal stops to communicate by letter, send MOB_HO-IND message to the base station again.Below in conjunction with embodiment, in this case changing method is described.

Figure 10 is the flow chart of second embodiment of the changing method of relay station initiation.In this embodiment, the relay station that is of service is provided for portable terminal, the base station that is of service is provided for relay station, the switching target of portable terminal is another relay station in base station, the same sub-district or another relay station of different districts, and the switching target of relay station is another relay station in base station, the same sub-district or another relay station of different districts.The reason that portable terminal initiates to switch can move in the service range of another one relay station for the service range of portable terminal by former service relay stations, perhaps move to the coverage of another one base station, portable terminal is in order to obtain better service quality, and the relay station or the base station of its service is replaced by in request.The reason that relay station initiates to switch can move in the coverage of another one base station for the coverage of relay station by former serving BS, perhaps move to the service range of another one relay station, relay station is in order to obtain better service quality, and the relay station or the base station of its service is replaced by in request.

As shown in figure 10, this embodiment comprises following several steps:

Step S1001: carry out switching target reselection procedure process, the main purpose of this process is to make relay station obtain the tabulation and the information thereof of neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station, can be realized by following manner:

If relay station is thought the insufficient or other reasons of information that obtains, can also be on the basis of scanning, portable terminal continues the neighbours' relay station that is scanned or the up link of neighbours base station are found range, and to obtain ranging parameters, this process is called associating.

Step S1002: initiation of switching and judging process, the main purpose of this process are to make relay station select a target relay station or target BS from candidate target relay station or candidate target BS, can be realized by following manner:

Referring again to Figure 10, if relay station is before sending switch indicating information MOB_HO-IND to former serving BS, receive the MOB_MSHO-REQ message that portable terminal sends, then relay station will stop the follow-up switching flow of oneself, the request of priority treatment portable terminal, with after portable terminal stops to communicate by letter, carry out follow-up switching flow again.Relay station stops follow-up switching flow can adopt such means, promptly, relay station can send MOB_HO-IND message to the base station, the MOB_HO-IND condition of information is a disarmed state, after the base station receives the MOB_HO-IND message of disarmed state, can be again to relay station recommended candidate target BS or relay station, so repeatedly, can guarantee that before portable terminal and relay station stop to communicate by letter relay station can continue to keep communicating by letter with the base station.Relay station can also be cancelled this switching flow in MOB_HO-IND message, if can carry out follow-up flow process, relay station can continue switching flow to base station requests again.

Need to prove that also candidate target relay station that former serving BS provides or base station can be identical in neighbours' relay station or neighbours base station that step S1001 obtains with relay station, also can part identical, can also be inequality fully.

Step S1003: the down link of relay station and target relay station or base station carries out synchronously, the main purpose of this process is to make relay station obtain target relay station or the up link of base station and the transmission parameter of down link, if from MOB_NBR-ADV message, obtain sign, operating frequency, DCD (the Downlink Channel Descriptor of target relay station or base station before the portable terminal, downlink channel descriptor), UCD (Uplink Channel Descriptor, uplink channel descriptor) parameter then can be accelerated synchronous process.

Step S1004: finish network and reenter process, the main purpose of this process is to make relay station and target relay station or base station obtain the other side's relevant information respectively, prepares for follow-up normal information, and this process comprises:

Step S1005: former serving BS stop with portable terminal between communicate by letter and context, context for example is the information in the formation, ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request inserts request) state machine, counter, timer or head compression relevant information etc.
