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 a mobile communication system communicating via a plurality of orthogonal subcarriers, the method comprising:
transmitting a signal of one bit information to a base station via a specific dedicated physical uplink channel while the user equipment is uplink time aligned and when the buffer status information needs to be transmitted, wherein the signal is used for informing a presence of a request for uplink shared channel resources;
receiving first resource allocation information for an uplink shared channel from the base station after transmitting the signal; and
transmitting the buffer status information to the base station through the uplink shared channel using the first resource allocation information.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving second resource allocation information for the uplink shared channel from the base station after transmitting the buffer status information.
3. A method of obtaining buffer status information by a base station in a mobile communication system communicating via a plurality of orthogonal subcarriers, the method comprising:
receiving a signal of one bit information from a user equipment via a specific dedicated physical uplink channel while the user equipment is uplink time aligned, wherein the signal is used for informing a presence of a request for uplink shared channel resources;
transmitting first resource allocation information for an uplink shared channel to the user equipment after receiving the signal; and
receiving the buffer status information from the user equipment through the uplink shared channel using the first resource allocation information.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first and second resource allocation information is received using an identifier of the user equipment.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein power headroom information is transmitted to the base station along with the buffer status information.
6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising transmitting second resource allocation information for the uplink shared channel to the user equipment after receiving the buffer status information.
7. A user equipment in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:
a transmitter/receiver configured to transmit or receive a signal to or from a base station using a plurality of orthogonal subcarriers; and
a processor connected to the transmitter/receiver and configured to control the transmitter/receiver for providing buffer status information comprises:
transmitting a signal of one bit information to the base station via a specific dedicated physical uplink channel while the user equipment is uplink time aligned and when the buffer status information needs to be transmitted, wherein the signal is used for informing a presence of a request for uplink shared channel resources;
receiving first resource allocation information for an uplink shared channel from the base station after the transmission of the signal; and
transmitting the buffer status information to the base station through the uplink shared channel using the first resource allocation information.
8. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein providing the buffer status information further comprises receiving second resource allocation information for the uplink shared channel from the base station after transmitting the buffer status information.
9. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the first and second resource allocation information is received using an identifier of the user equipment.
10. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein power headroom information is transmitted to the base station along with the buffer status information.
11. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
a transmitter/receiver configured to transmit or receive a signal to or from a user equipment using a plurality of orthogonal subcarriers; and
a processor connected to the transmitter/receiver and configured to control the transmitter/receiver for obtaining buffer status information, wherein obtaining the buffer status information comprises:
receiving a signal of one bit information from the user equipment via a specific dedicated physical uplink channel while the user equipment is uplink time aligned, wherein the signal is used for informing a presence of a request for uplink shared channel resources;
transmitting first resource allocation information for an uplink shared channel to the user equipment after receiving the signal; and
receiving buffer status information from the user equipment through the uplink shared channel using the first resource allocation information.
12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein obtaining the buffer status information further comprises transmitting second resource allocation information for the uplink shared channel to the user equipment after receiving the buffer status information.
