Apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving persistent scheduling information in wireless communication system

A method of receiving persistent scheduling information at a machine-to-machine (M2M) device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a BS, a message comprising allocation period information including a persistent allocation period for the M2M device,
• wherein the message further comprises de-allocation information that indicates whether the de-allocation corresponds to a permanent de-allocation or one-time de-allocation when the allocation period information indicates a de-allocation, and
• wherein the message does not comprise information about hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback allocation when the de-allocation information indicates the one-time de-allocation.

A base station (BS) for transmitting persistent scheduling information in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

• a transmitter configured to transmit, to a machine-to-machine (M2M) device, a message comprising allocation period information including a persistent allocation period for the M2M device,
• wherein the message further comprises de-allocation information that indicates whether the de-allocation corresponds to a permanent de-allocation or one-time de-allocation when the allocation period information indicates a de-allocation, and
• wherein the message does not comprise information about hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback allocation when the de-allocation information indicates the one-time de-allocation.

A machine-to-machine (M2M) device for receiving persistent scheduling information in a wireless communication system, the M2M device comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive, from a BS, a message comprising allocation period information including a persistent allocation period for the M2M device,
• wherein the message further comprises de-allocation information that indicates whether the de-allocation corresponds to a permanent de-allocation or one-time de-allocation when the allocation period information indicates a de-allocation, and
• wherein the message does not comprise information about hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback allocation when the de-allocation information indicates the one-time de-allocation.
