Apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving location based service resource allocation information in a mobile communication system

A method for receiving Location Based Service (LBS) resource allocation information by an Advanced Mobile Station (AMS) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving LBS resource allocation information including LBS zone configuration information representing an LBS zone transmission period,
• wherein the LBS zone configuration information includes at least one of first information indicating that LBS zone transmission is switched off, second information indicating that the LBS zone transmission period corresponds to a first number of super frames if the LBS zone transmission is switched on, third information indicating that the LBS zone transmission period corresponds to a second number of super frames if the LBS zone transmission is switched on, and fourth information indicating that the LBS zone transmission period corresponds to a third number of super frames if the LBS zone transmission is switched on.

An Advanced Base Station (ABS) in a mobile communication system, the ABS comprising:

• a transmission unit for transmitting Location Based Service (LBS) resource allocation information including LBS zone configuration information representing an LBS zone transmission period;
• wherein the LBS zone configuration information includes at least one of first information indicating that LBS zone transmission is switched off, second information indicating that the LBS zone transmission period corresponds to a first number of super frames if the LBS zone transmission is switched on, third information indicating that the LBS zone transmission period corresponds to a second number of super frames if the LBS zone transmission is switched on, and fourth information indicating that the LBS zone transmission period corresponds to a third number of super frames if the LBS zone transmission is switched on.
