Abstract

Provided is a downlink control information transmitting and receiving method which can maximize the use of limited radio resources by effectively forming an uplink signaling message to be transmitted from a base station to a terminal and transmitting the formed uplink signaling message with a minimum amount of radio resources occupied. The method for transmitting downlink data generation indication information for a base station to inform a terminal of packet data transmission in a packet-based cellular system, includes the steps of: a) generating the downlink data generation indication information; b) recording radio resource allocation information in downlink scheduling information for transmitting the downlink data generation indication information, and allocating information for the downlink data generation indication information to downlink-shared radio resources; and c) transmitting the downlink scheduling information and the information for the downlink data generation indication information according to a transmission cycle.

Claims (55)

1. A method for performing a random access in a terminal of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a random access preamble to a base station;

receiving a first signal through a first channel from the base station;

determining that an identifier is used in the first signal;

after determining that the identifier is used in the first signal, obtaining a first message from the first signal; and

receiving a second message through a second channel based on the first signal,

wherein the second message comprises a first random access response for the terminal and information which indicates that the second message comprises a second random access response,

wherein the information consists of a single bit, and

wherein a first value of the single bit indicates that the second message comprises the second random access response.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the second random access response is for another terminal.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first random access response comprises first timing advance information for the terminal and the second random access response comprises second timing advance information for the another terminal.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first channel is used to transmit downlink scheduling information, and the second channel is used to transmit data using shared radio resources.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message further comprises an index of the random access preamble.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier is determined by the terminal at least based on when the random access preamble is transmitted and the identifier is determined by the terminal before receiving the first signal.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier is determined by the terminal based on a resource region for random access, the resource region being expressed in a frequency and a time, and the identifier is determined by the terminal before receiving the first signal.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message further comprises other information subsequent to the information, the other information consists of another single bit, and wherein a second value, different from the first value, of the another single bit indicates that the second random access response is a last random access response in time in the second message.

9. A communication apparatus capable of performing a random access, the apparatus comprising:

a circuitry,

wherein the circuitry is configured to:

cause the apparatus to transmit a random access preamble to a base station;

cause the apparatus to receive a first signal through a first channel from the base station;

determine that an identifier is used in the first signal;

after determining that the identifier is used in the first signal, obtain a first message from the first signal; and

cause the apparatus to receive a second message through a second channel based on the first signal,

wherein the second message comprises a first random access response for the communication apparatus and information which indicates that the second message comprises a second random access response,

wherein the information consists of a single bit, and

wherein a first value of the single bit indicates that the second message comprises the second random access response.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein:

the second random access response is for another communication apparatus.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first random access response comprises first timing advance information for the communication apparatus and the second random access response comprises second timing advance information for the another communication apparatus.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the first channel is used to transmit downlink scheduling information, and the second channel is used to transmit data using shared radio resources.

14. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the identifier is determined by the circuit at least based on when the random access preamble is transmitted and the identifier is determined by the circuit before the first signal is received.

15. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the identifier is determined by the circuit based on a resource region for random access, the resource region being expressed in a frequency and a time, and the identifier is determined by the circuit before the first signal is received.

16. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the second message further comprises other information subsequent to the information, the other information consists of another single bit, and wherein a second value, different from the first value, of the another single bit indicates that the second random access response is a last random access response in time in the second message.

17. A device configured to be used in a terminal capable of performing a random access, the device comprising:

a circuitry,

wherein the circuitry is configured to:

cause the terminal to transmit a random access preamble to a base station;

cause the terminal to receive a first signal through a first channel from the base station;

18. The device of claim 17 , wherein:

the second random access response is for another terminal.

19. The device of claim 18 , wherein the first random access response comprises first timing advance information for the terminal and the second random access response comprises second timing advance information for the another terminal.

20. The device of claim 19 , wherein the first channel is used to transmit downlink scheduling information, and the second channel is used to transmit data using shared radio resources.

21. The device of claim 17 , wherein the second message further comprises an index of the random access preamble.

22. The device of claim 17 , wherein the identifier is determined by the circuit at least based on when the random access preamble is transmitted and the identifier is determined by the circuit before the first signal is received.

23. The device of claim 17 , wherein the identifier is determined by the circuit based on a resource region for random access, the resource region being expressed in a frequency and a time, and the identifier is determined by the circuit before the first signal is received.

24. The device of claim 17 , wherein the second message further comprises other information subsequent to the information, the other information consists of another single bit, and wherein a second value, different from the first value, of the another single bit indicates that the second random access response is a last random access response in time in the second message.
