Method of allocating radio resources in multi-carrier system
A method of allocating radio resources in a multi-carrier system is disclosed, by which a signaling message can be efficiently transmitted according to necessity of a user equipment. In a user equipment of a mobile communication system transceiving data using a plurality of subcarriers, the present invention includes the steps of if the signaling message to be transmitted is generated in the user equipment, generating a preamble sequence according to a user equipment identifier to identify the user equipment, transmitting a preamble signal including the preamble sequence and the signaling message to a base station, and receiving an acknowledgement signal for the preamble signal generated according to the user equipment identifier.
1. A method of providing buffer status information by a user equipment in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based mobile communication system, wherein the user equipment is in a state that data transmission from the user equipment is performed based on scheduling from a base station, the method comprising:
storing, by the user equipment, data in a buffer;
transmitting, by the user equipment, a signal of one bit-level information to the base station periodically via a physical uplink channel that is not a random access channel, while there is no traffic channel resource from the user equipment to the base station, wherein the signal is for informing presence of a request for an uplink channel resource used to communicate the buffer status information to the base station;
receiving, by the user equipment, first resource allocation information for a first uplink channel from the base station after transmitting the signal; and
transmitting, by the user equipment, the buffer status information to the base station through the first uplink channel using the first resource allocation information.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the user equipment, second resource allocation information for a second uplink channel from the base station after transmitting the buffer status information.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first and second resource allocation information are received using an identifier of the user equipment.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein power headroom information is transmitted to the base station along with the buffer status information.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal of one bit-level information is transmitted to the base station periodically via the physical uplink channel in a dedicated manner.
6. A method of obtaining buffer status information of a user equipment at a base station in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based mobile communication system, wherein the user equipment is in a state that data transmission from the user equipment is performed based on scheduling from the base station, the method comprising:
receiving, by the base station, a signal of one bit-level information from the user equipment periodically via a physical uplink channel that is not a random access channel, while there is no traffic channel resource from the user equipment to the base station, wherein the signal is for informing presence of a request for an uplink channel resource used to communicate the buffer status information to the base station;
transmitting, by the base station, first resource allocation information for a first uplink channel to the user equipment after receiving the signal; and
receiving, by the base station, the buffer status information from the user equipment through the first uplink channel using the first resource allocation information.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
transmitting, by the base station, second resource allocation information for a second uplink channel to the user equipment after receiving the buffer status information.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first and second resource allocation information are transmitted using an identifier of the user equipment.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein power headroom information is received from the user equipment along with the buffer status information.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the signal of one bit-level information is received from the user equipment periodically via the physical uplink channel in a dedicated manner.
