Abstract
An apparatus and method for reducing the volume of a resource allocation information message in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. The method includes transmitting a message including information indicating a periodicity of an uplink control channel for an initial network entry; and receiving an uplink signal for the initial network entry through the uplink control channel.
Claims20
A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- broadcasting a first message including first information indicating a first periodicity and a first offset of an uplink control channel for a first initial network entry;
- receiving an uplink signal for the first initial network entry through the uplink control channel that is identified based on the first periodicity and the first offset;
- transmitting a second message including second information indicating a second periodicity and a second offset of the uplink control channel for a second initial network entry, the second periodicity being different from the first periodicity and the second offset being different from the first offset;
- and
- receiving an uplink signal for the second initial network entry through the uplink control channel that is identified based on the second periodicity and the second offset,
- wherein a periodicity is a frame interval between 2 consecutive frames including an uplink control channel,
- wherein an offset is a start point of the periodicity, and
- wherein the periodicity and the offset are defined by number of frames.
A method performed by a mobile station (MS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a first message, broadcasted by the base station, including first information indicating a first periodicity and a first offset of an uplink control channel for a first initial network entry;
- transmitting an uplink signal for the first initial network entry through the uplink control channel that is identified based on the first periodicity and the first offset;
- receiving a second message including second information indicating a second periodicity and a second offset of the uplink control channel for a second initial network entry, the second periodicity being different from the first periodicity and the second offset being different from the first offset;
- and
- transmitting an uplink signal for the second initial network entry through the uplink control channel that is identified based on the second periodicity and the second offset,
- wherein a periodicity is a frame interval between 2 consecutive frames including an uplink control channel,
- wherein an offset is a start point of the periodicity, and
- wherein the periodicity and the offset are defined by number of frames.
A mobile station (MS) in a wireless communication system, the MS comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
- receive a first message, broadcasted by the base station, including first information indicating a first periodicity and a first offset of an uplink control channel for a first initial network entry;
- transmit an uplink signal for the first initial network entry through the uplink control channel that is identified based on the first periodicity and the first offset;
- receive a second message including second information indicating a second periodicity and a second offset of the uplink control channel for a second initial network entry, the second periodicity being different from the first periodicity and the second offset being different from the first offset;
- and
- transmit an uplink signal for the second initial network entry through the uplink control channel that is identified based on the second periodicity and the second offset,
- wherein a periodicity is a frame interval between 2 consecutive frames including an uplink control channel,
- wherein an offset is a start point of the periodicity,
- wherein the periodicity and the offset are defined by number of frames.
