Method of emergency service request using control channel
A method for performing emergency communication between a mobile station and a base station in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes receiving allocation of a contention-free-based control channel from a base station, and transmitting an emergency service request message through the contention-free-based control channel. The contention-free-based control channel may be one of a channel quality indicator (CQI) channel and an acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) channel. Since the emergency service request message can be transmitted through a contention-free dedicated code and a dedicated region, a procedure is simplified and power resources of the mobile station can be saved.
1. A method for requesting an emergency service in a wireless access system, comprising:
performing a negotiation to determine whether the emergency service is supported during a basic capability negotiation process;
transmitting, by a mobile station, a predetermined code for requesting the emergency service to a base station through an acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) channel, when the ACK/NACK channel is allocated to the mobile station, without requesting allocation of a new control channel for the emergency service,
wherein the ACK/NACK channel is a contention-free-based control channel that is dedicated to the mobile station,
wherein the predetermined code is phase-shifted by a specific phase shift value received from the base station through a UCD (Uplink Channel Descriptor) message;
receiving, by the mobile station, an uplink map (UL-MAP) message to allocate a bandwidth from the base station;
transmitting, by the mobile station, a dynamic service addition request message requesting information for the emergency service to the base station through the allocated bandwidth; and
receiving, by the mobile station, a dynamic service addition response message comprising a traffic connection identifier and a quality of service parameter set for the emergency service from the base station,
wherein the traffic connection identifier is mapped with a service flow identifier for the emergency service flow.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined code is selected from previously designated codes for the emergency service among codes designated for the ACK/NACK channel.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the predetermined code has 2 bits per symbol.
4. A method for providing an emergency service in a mobile communication system, comprising:
performing a negotiation to determine whether the emergency service is supported during a basic capability negotiation process;
receiving, by a base station, a predetermined code for requesting the emergency service from a mobile station through an acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) channel, when the ACK/NACK channel is allocated to the mobile station, without requesting allocation of a new control channel for the emergency service,
wherein the ACK/NACK channel is a contention-free-based control channel that is dedicated to the mobile station,
wherein the predetermined code is phase-shifted by a specific phase shift value transmitted by the base station through a UCD (Uplink Channel Descriptor) message;
transmitting, by the base station, an uplink map (UL-MAP) message to allocate a bandwidth to the mobile station;
receiving, by the base station, a dynamic service addition request message requesting information for the emergency service from the mobile station through the allocated bandwidth;
generating, by the base station, an emergency service flow and a parameter related to the emergency service; and
transmitting, by the base station, a dynamic service addition response message comprising a traffic connection identifier and a quality of service parameter set for the emergency service to the mobile station,
wherein the traffic connection identifier is mapped with a service flow identifier for the emergency service flow.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the predetermined code is selected from previously designated codes for the emergency service among codes designated for the ACK/NACK channel.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the predetermined code has 2 bits per symbol.
