Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided for establishing time alignment by a terminal in a mobile communication system. Information for identifying a preamble on a downlink control channel is received from a base station. The preamble is transmitted based on the information for identifying the preamble. A response message including timing adjustment information, information for a channel quality indicator (CQI) request, and an identifier of the terminal is received on a downlink shared channel from the base station. The time alignment is established based on the timing adjustment information included in the response message. A CQI is transmitted based on the information for the CQI request.

Claims (31)

1. A method for establishing time alignment by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information for identifying a preamble on a downlink control channel from a base station;

transmitting the preamble based on the information for identifying the preamble;

receiving a response message including timing adjustment information, information for a channel quality indicator (CQI) request, and an identifier of the terminal on a downlink shared channel from the base station;

establishing the time alignment based on the timing adjustment information included in the response message; and

transmitting a CQI based on the information for the CQI request.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information for the CQI request comprises information on a resource assignment for the CQI.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving downlink data from the base station after establishing the time alignment.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response message further comprises an uplink grant.

5. An apparatus for establishing time alignment by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a transceiver for receiving and transmitting a signal; and

a controller operable to receive information for identifying a preamble on a downlink control channel from a base station, to transmit the preamble based on the information for identifying the preamble, to receive a response message including timing adjustment information, information for a channel quality indicator (CQI) request, and an identifier of the terminal on a downlink shared channel from the base station, to establish the time alignment based on the timing adjustment information included in the response message, and to transmit a CQI based on the information for the CQI request.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the information for the CQI request comprises information on a resource assignment for the CQI.

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the controller controls to receive downlink data from the base station after establishing the time alignment.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the response message further comprises an uplink grant.

9. A method for establishing time alignment by a base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting information for identifying a preamble on a downlink control channel to a terminal;

receiving the preamble from the terminal;

transmitting a response message including timing adjustment information for establishing the time alignment, information for a channel quality indicator (CQI) request, and an identifier of the terminal on a downlink shared channel to the terminal; and

receiving a CQI based on the information for the CQI request.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the information for the CQI request comprises information on a resource assignment for the CQI.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting downlink data to the terminal after receiving the CQI.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the response message further comprises an uplink grant.

13. An apparatus for establishing time alignment by a base station in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a signal; and

a controller operable to transmit information for identifying a preamble on a downlink control channel to a terminal, to receive the preamble from the terminal, to transmit a response message including timing adjustment information for establishing the time alignment, information for a channel quality indicator (CQI) request, and an identifier of the terminal on a downlink shared channel to the terminal, and to receive a CQI based on the information for the CQI request.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the information for the CQI request comprises information on a resource assignment for the CQI.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the controller controls to transmit downlink data to the terminal after receiving the CQI.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the response message further comprises an uplink grant.
