Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting uplink control information in a mobile communication system; and, more particularly, to a method for effectively forming uplink control information transmitted through a downlink from a base station to a terminal in a mobile communication system for providing a packet service and transmitting the uplink control information with minimum radio resources occupied. The method includes the steps of generating uplink control information; allocating the uplink control information to a downlink-shared radio resource for packet data transmission based on downlink scheduling information; and transmitting the radio resource to a terminal. The present invention is applied to a mobile communication system.

Claims (28)

1 . A method for transmitting uplink control information in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

a) generating uplink control information;

b) allocating the uplink control information on downlink-shared radio resource for packet data transmission based on downlink scheduling information; and

c) transmitting the radio resource to a terminal.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink scheduling information includes a group identifier denoting a terminal group to receive the uplink control information, and radio resource block location information denoting a location of the downlink-shared radio resource where the uplink control information is allocated.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein a predetermined part of a terminal scheduling identifier is reserved and allocated as the group identifier.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein in the step b), the uplink control information is variably local-allocated on the downlink radio resource using the downlink scheduling information.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein in the step b), the uplink control information is variably distributed and allocated on the downlink radio resource based on the downlink scheduling information.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink control information includes at least one among uplink scheduling information, random access response information, and response information for sustaining uplink synchronization.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the uplink scheduling information includes a scheduling identifier, a radio resource block location information of the uplink control information, and an allocation period information.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the random access response information includes a terminal identifier and uplink radio resource block location information.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein in the step b) the uplink control information is fixedly allocated to downlink radio resource.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising the step of:

transmitting radio resource fixed allocation information of uplink control information to a terminal through a broadcasting channel (BCH).

11 . A method for transmitting random access response information of a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

a) generating random access response information; and

b) allocating the random access response information on downlink-shared radio resource using downlink scheduling information,

wherein the downlink scheduling information includes a group identifier denoting a terminal or a terminal group to receive the random access response information.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the random access response information includes at least one among a terminal identifier, timing alignment information, and uplink radio resource block location information.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein a predetermined part of a scheduling identifier is reserved and used as the group identifier.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein in the step b), random access response information for at least one terminal is allocated to a downlink-shared radio resource.

15 . A method for receiving random access response information of a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

a) receiving a downlink-shared radio resource; and

b) obtaining random access response information from the downlink-shared radio resource based on downlink scheduling information,

wherein the downlink scheduling information includes a group identifier denoting a terminal or a terminal group to receive the random access response information.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the random access response information includes at least one among a terminal identifier, timing alignment information, and uplink radio resource block location information.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein a predetermined part of a scheduling identifier is reserved as the group identifier.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein random access response information for at least one terminal is allocated to the downlink-shared radio resource.
