Abstract

A method for transmitting radio resources in a mobile communication system is disclosed. The method includes receiving a random access channel (RACH) preamble from a plurality of UEs and transmitting response information associated with the received preambles over a common channel wherein the plurality UEs can access the common channel and receive corresponding information. If a HARQ scheme is used when a UE transmits data to the eNode-B using uplink radio resources allocated over the RACH, the eNode-B does not pre-allocate uplink radio resources required for re-transmission and performs allocation of radio resources for a first transmission of HARQ. If the re-transmission is required, the eNode-B allocates the radio resources required for the re-transmission with the NACK signal. If re-transmission is not required, the present invention can reduce an amount of wasted radio resources.

Claims (44)

1. A method for a user equipment (UE) to perform a random access in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a random access preamble to a network;

receiving a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) comprising random access responses and header parts from the network, each of the header parts corresponding to each of the random access responses; and

processing the received MAC PDU comprising the random access responses and the header parts,

wherein all of the header parts is in a first part of the MAC PDU and all of the random access responses is in a second part of the MAC PDU subsequent to the first part.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC PDU is received through a downlink shared channel other than a downlink control channel.

3. A method for a user equipment (UE) to perform a random access in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a random access preamble to a network;

receiving a message comprising multiple random access responses and multiple header parts through a downlink shared channel, each of the header parts corresponding to each of the random access responses, all of the header parts being located before the all of the random access responses within the message; and

processing the received message.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving location information of the message through a downlink control channel.

5. A method for a network for a random access in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving random access preambles from user equipments (UEs);

transmitting a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) comprising random access responses and header parts from the network, each of the header parts corresponding to each of the random access responses; and

wherein all of the header parts is in a first part of the MAC PDU and all of the random access responses is in a second part of the MAC PDU subsequent to the first part.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the MAC PDU is transmitted through a downlink shared channel other than a downlink control channel.

7. A method for a network for a random access in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving random access preambles from a user equipments (UEs);

transmitting a message comprising multiple random access responses and multiple header parts through a downlink shared channel,

wherein all of the header parts are located before the all of the random access responses, and

wherein each of the header parts corresponds to each of the random access responses.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

transmitting location information of the message through a downlink control channel.

9. A user equipment (UE) performing a random access in a mobile communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit a random access preamble to a network, and receive a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) comprising random access responses and header parts from the network, each of the header parts corresponding to each of the random access responses; and

a processor configured to process the received MAC PDU comprising the random access responses and the header parts,

wherein all of the header parts is in a first part of the MAC PDU and all of the random access responses is in a second part of the MAC PDU subsequent to the first part.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver receives the MAC PDU through a downlink shared channel other than a downlink control channel.

11. A user equipment (UE) performing a random access in a mobile communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit a random access preamble to a network, and receive a message comprising multiple random access responses and multiple header parts through a downlink shared channel, each of the header parts corresponding to each of the random access responses, all of the header parts being located before the all of the random access responses within the message; and

a processor configured to process the received message.

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the transceiver receives location information of the message through a downlink control channel.

13. A network device for a random access in a mobile communication system, the device comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive random access preambles from user equipments (UEs), and transmit a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) comprising random access responses and header parts from the network, each of the header parts corresponding to each of the random access responses; and

a processor configured to prepare the MAC PDU,

wherein all of the header parts is in a first part of the MAC PDU and all of the random access responses is in a second part of the MAC PDU subsequent to the first part.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the transceiver transmits the MAC PDU through a downlink shared channel other than a downlink control channel.

15. A network device for a random access in a mobile communication system, the device comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive random access preambles from a user equipments (UEs), and transmit a message comprising multiple random access responses and multiple header parts through a downlink shared channel; and

a processor configured to prepare the message,

wherein all of the header parts are located before the all of the random access responses, and

wherein each of the header parts corresponds to each of the random access responses.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the transceiver transmits location information of the message through a downlink control channel.
