Method and apparatus for transmitting data using a multi-carrier in a mobile communication system

A method for performing discontinuous reception (DRX) of a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

• transmitting, to a terminal, DRX related information including a timer value related to on-duration, a first DRX cycle value and a second DRX cycle value;
• and
• transmitting, to the terminal, control information with a zero bit payload, the control information including a logical channel ID (LCID), the LCID identifying a type of the control information,
• wherein a first DRX is configured by the terminal with the first DRX cycle value if the control information is information related to the first DRX,
• wherein a second DRX is configured by the terminal with the second DRX cycle value if the control information is information related to the second DRX, and
• wherein the first DRX and the second DRX are configured by the terminal with the timer value related to on-duration included in the DRX related information.

A terminal for performing discontinuous reception (DRX) in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals;
• and
• a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
• receive, from a base station, DRX related information including a timer value related to on-duration, a first DRX cycle value and a second DRX cycle value,
• receive, from the base station, control information with a zero bit payload, the control information including a logical channel ID (LCD), the LCID identifying a type of the control information,
• identify the type of the control information based on the LCD,
• configure a first DRX with the first DRX cycle value if the control information is information related to the first DRX, and
• configure a second DRX with the second DRX cycle value if the control information is information related to the second DRX,
• wherein the first DRX and the second DRX are configured with the timer value related to on-duration included in the DRX related information.

A base station for supporting discontinuous reception (DRX) in a communication system, the base station comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• transmit, to a terminal, DRX related information including a timer value related to on-duration, a first DRX cycle value and a second DRX cycle value, and
• transmit, to the terminal, control information with a zero bit payload, the control information including a logical channel ID (LCID), the LCID identifying a type of the control information,
• wherein a first DRX is configured by the terminal with the first DRX cycle value if the control information is information related to the first DRX,
• wherein a second DRX is configured by the terminal with the second DRX cycle value if the control information is information related to the second DRX, and
• wherein the first DRX and the second DRX are configured by the terminal with the timer value related to on-duration included in the DRX related information.
