Method and apparatus for allocating communication resources using virtual circuit switching in a wireless communication system and method for transmitting and receiving data in a mobile station using the same

An apparatus for transmitting data from a Mobile Station (MS) to a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• a control channel demodulator for demodulating a downlink signal and receiving control information relating to a shared channel;
• a data channel modulator for modulating a signal to be transmitted to a radio channel and outputting the modulated signal;
• and
• a data modulation controller for determining whether resources for a dedicated channel are allocated to a different MS while also allocated to the MS through the control information and controlling the data channel modulator to transmit data using remaining resources excluding the resources allocated to the different MS when the resources for the dedicated channel are allocated to the different MS persistently,
• wherein the control information comprises information indicating whether the resources for the dedicated channel are allocated to the different MS while also allocated to the MS, and
• wherein the data modulation controller controls the data channel modulator to transmit data using resources including the resources allocated to the different MS after expiring the allocation of the resources for the dedicated channel to the different MS when the resources for the dedicated channel are allocated to the different MS while also allocated to the MS.
