Abstract
Disclosed are a method for identifying a connection, mobile station and base station. The method comprises the steps of: assigning a MS ID to the mobile station when the mobile station enters into the coverage area of the base station; and assigning a connection ID to a connection when the connection is established between the base station and the mobile station. With the proposed solution, the data overhead could be reduced due to short Connection ID instead of 16-bit CID in 802.16e, especially for VoIP traffic. In addition, due to adjustable bit-length of Connection ID, the tuple <MS ID, Connection ID> could flexibly support different numbers of connections while keeping overhead in minimal.
