Abstract

A method is provided for transmitting a MAP message in a wireless communication system. A base station transmits the MAP message including operation mode information indicating a data burst allocation scheme, to a mobile station. The mobile station identifies a data burst according to the operation mode information included in the MAP message received from the base station.

Claims (48)

1. A method for transmitting a downlink MAP message by a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:

transmitting, to at least one Mobile Station (MS), the downlink MAP message including information on a two-dimensional data burst region, a mode information on a sub-burst Information Element (IE), and the sub-burst IE including information on sub-bursts,

wherein the two-dimensional data burst region is partitioned into the sub-bursts by allocating a specified number of slots to each of the sub-bursts, and designated by a number of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) symbols and a number of subchannels,

wherein each of the slots is defined by a predetermined number of subchannels and OFDMA symbols, the mode information indicates a mode for the sub-burst IE, the mode is one of a plurality of modes, and the information on the sub-bursts indicates a region of each of the sub-bursts, and

wherein the slots are allocated in a frequency-first order starting from a slot with the smallest symbol number and the smallest subchannel with an increasing subchannel number within the two-dimensional data burst region.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sub-burst IE includes, for each of the sub-bursts, information on a Reduced Connection IDentifier (RCID) IE, a dedicated control indicator, and a dedicated control IE,

wherein the RCID IE indicates an RCID for a corresponding sub-burst, the dedicated control indicator indicates whether the dedicated control IE is included, and the dedicated control IE includes duration information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of modes include a chase combining Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) mode and an incremental redundancy HARQ mode.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sub-burst IE includes, for each of the sub-bursts, information on a Downlink Interval Usage Code (DIUC) for a corresponding sub-burst.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink MAP message includes an OFDMA symbol offset, a subchannel offset, the number of OFDMA symbols, and the number of subchannels,

wherein the two-dimensional data burst region is represented by the OFDMA symbol offset, the subchannel offset, the number of OFDMA symbols, and the number of subchannels.

6. A wireless communication system, comprising:

at least one Mobile Station (MS); and

a Base Station (BS),

wherein the BS is adapted to transmits, to the at least one MS, a down-link MAP message including information on a two-dimensional data burst region, a mode information on a sub-burst Information Element (IE), and the sub-burst IE including information on sub-bursts,

wherein the two-dimensional data burst region is partitioned into the sub-bursts by allocating a specified number of slots to each of the sub-bursts, and is designated by a number of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) symbols and a number of subchannels,

wherein each of the slots is defined by a predetermined number of subchannels and OFDMA symbols, the mode information indicates a mode for the sub-burst IE, the mode is one of a plurality of modes, and the information on the sub-bursts indicates a region of each of the sub-bursts, and

wherein the slots are allocated in a frequency-first order starting from a slot with the smallest symbol number and the smallest subchannel with an increasing subchannel number within the two-dimensional data burst region.

7. The wireless communication system of claim 6 , wherein the sub-burst IE includes, for each of the sub-bursts, information on a Reduced Connection IDentifier (RCID) IE, a dedicated control indicator, and a dedicated control IE,

wherein the RCID IE indicates an RCID for a corresponding sub-burst, the dedicated control indicator indicates whether the dedicated control IE is included, and the dedicated control IE includes duration information.

8. The wireless communication system of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of modes include a chase combining Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) mode and an incremental redundancy HARQ mode.

9. The wireless communication system of claim 6 , wherein the sub-burst IE includes, for each of the sub-bursts, information on a Downlink Interval Usage Code (DIUC) for a corresponding sub-burst.

10. The wireless communication system of claim 6 , wherein the downlink MAP message includes an OFDMA symbol offset, a subchannel offset, the number of OFDMA symbols, and the number of subchannels,

wherein the two-dimensional data burst region is represented by the OFDMA symbol offset, the subchannel offset, the number of OFDMA symbols, and the number of subchannels.

11. A method for receiving a downlink MAP message by a Mobile Station (MS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving, from a Base Station (BS), the down-link MAP message including information on a two-dimensional data burst region, mode information on a sub-burst Information Element (IE), and the sub-burst IE including information on sub-bursts,

wherein the two-dimensional data burst region is partitioned into the sub-bursts by allocating a specified number of slots to each of the sub-bursts, and is designated by a number of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) symbols and a number of subchannels,
