Abstract

Disclosed is an efficient random access method which enables a subscriber station to gain access to an uplink in broadband mobile communication system including the subscriber station and a base station. The method enables a subscriber station to perform re-access to a base station at a high speed in the mobile communication system, in which an access channel is allocated so that the subscriber station and the base station can transmit a message to each other using a code within a predetermined period of time, wherein, the method includes the steps of: the subscriber station receiving a request rejection message including a dedicated code in response to a request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station through the access channel; and the subscriber station checking the received request rejection message, and re-transmitting the request message in a contention-free method corresponding to the dedicated code which is included in the request rejection message.

Claims

1. A method for a subscriber station to perform re-access to a base station at a high speed in a wireless communication system, in which an access channel is allocated so that the subscriber station and the base station can transmit a message to each other using a code within a predetermined period of time, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a request rejection message from the base station including a dedicated code in response to a request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station through the access channel; and

re-transmitting the request message according to a contention-free method corresponding to the dedicated code included in the request rejection message.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the request rejection message received from the base station further includes lifetime information of the dedicated code.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the request rejection message received from the base station further includes waiting time information for a period of time during which the subscriber station has to wait in order to re-transmit the request message.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dedicated code is a dedicated PN code exclusively allocated from the base station to the subscriber station.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station is a handoff request message.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station is a bandwidth request message.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base station determines whether the request rejection message includes the dedicated code according to information of service requested from the subscriber station.

8. A method for a base station to allow high speed re-access of a subscriber station to the base station in a wireless communication system, in which an access channel is allocated so that the subscriber station and the base station can transmit a message to each other using a code within a predetermined period of time, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a request message from the subscriber station through the access channel;

transmitting to the subscriber station a request rejection message including a dedicated code in response to the received request message; and

re-receiving the request message transmitted according to a contention-free method from the subscriber station after transmitting the request rejection message.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the request rejection message received from the base station further includes lifetime information of the dedicated code.

10. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the request rejection message transmitted to the subscriber station further includes waiting time information for a period of time during which the subscriber station has to wait in order to re-transmit the request message.

11. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the dedicated code is a dedicated PN code which is exclusively allocated from the base station to the subscriber station.

12. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station is a handoff request message.

13. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station is a bandwidth request message.

14. The method as claimed in claim 8, further comprising a step in which the base station determines whether to include the dedicated code in the request rejection message or not according to information of service requested from the subscriber station.

15. A method for a subscriber station to perform re-access to a base station at a high speed in a wireless communication system, in which an access channel is allocated so that the subscriber station and the base station can transmit a message to each other using a code within a predetermined period of time, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a request rejection message from the base station including dedicated time slot information in response to a request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station through the access channel; and

re-transmitting the request message using a contention-free method corresponding to the dedicated time slot information included in the request rejection message.

16. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the request rejection message received from the base station further includes lifetime information of the dedicated time slot.

17. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the request rejection message received from the base station further includes waiting time information for a period of time during which the subscriber station has to wait in order to re-transmit the request message.

18. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the allocated dedicated time slot is selected from among a contention-free access time area within an uplink transmission time area.

19. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station is a handoff request message.

20. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station is a bandwidth request message.

21. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the base station determines whether the request rejection message includes the dedicated time slot information, according to information of service requested from the subscriber station.

22. A method for a base station to allow high speed re-access of a subscriber station to the base station in a wireless communication system, in which an access channel is allocated so that the subscriber station and the base station can transmit a message to each other using a code within a predetermined period of time, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a request message from the subscriber station through the access channel;

transmitting to the subscriber station a request rejection message including dedicated time slot information in response to the received request message; and

re-receiving the request message transmitted according to a contention-free method from the subscriber station after transmitting the request rejection message.

23. The method as claimed in claim 22, wherein the request rejection message received from the base station further includes lifetime information of the dedicated time slot information.

24. The method as claimed in claim 22, wherein the request rejection message transmitted to the subscriber station further includes waiting time information for a period of time during which the subscriber station has to wait in order to re-transmit the request message.

25. The method as claimed in claim 22, wherein the dedicated time slot information is selected and allocated from among a contention-free access time area within an uplink transmission time area.

26. The method as claimed in claim 22, wherein the request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station is a handoff request message.

27. The method as claimed in claim 22, wherein the request message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station is a bandwidth request message.

28. The method as claimed in claim 22, further comprising a step in which the base station determines whether to include the dedicated time slot information in the request rejection message according to information of service requested from the subscriber station.
