Abstract

An apparatus and method for re-transmitting data in a wireless access communication system are disclosed. The data retransmission method in a wireless access communication system performing a data transmission/reception operation between a terminal and a base station using ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) includes the step of transmitting allocation information for bandwidth for data retransmission with respect to data received by the base station and ARQ feedback information according to an error which is included in the received data from the base station to the terminal, and re-transmitting the data in which the error had occurred through the allocated bandwidth based on the allocation information of the bandwidth for the data retransmission from the terminal to the base station.

Claims

1. A wireless access communication system for performing a data retransmission operation using an ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request), comprising:

a terminal; and

a base station for receiving data from the terminal, and transmitting to the terminal allocation information related to bandwidth required for data retransmission with respect to the received data and ARQ feedback information according to an error which is included in the received data,

wherein the terminal retransmits to the base station the data in which the error has occurred through the allocated bandwidth based on the allocation information of the bandwidth for the data retransmission.

2. An apparatus for allocating bandwidth for data retransmission in a wireless access communication system, comprising:

a transmission/reception unit for performing a data transmission/reception operation; and

a controlling unit for transmitting allocation information related to bandwidth required for data retransmission with respect to received data and ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) feedback information according to an error which is included in the received data through the transmission/reception unit.

3. The apparatus as set forth in claim 2, wherein the controlling unit calculates the bandwidth for the data retransmission for the received data if the error is included in the received data, allocates the bandwidth for the data retransmission if the calculated bandwidth is available, and transmits the ARQ feedback information and information for the allocated bandwidth through the transmission/reception unit.

4. The apparatus as set forth in claim 2, wherein the controlling unit calculates the bandwidth for the data retransmission, if a bandwidth allocation request is received before receiving the data, and the bandwidth based on the bandwidth allocation request, and allocates the bandwidth for the data retransmission and the bandwidth based on the bandwidth allocation request if the calculated bandwidths are available.

5. The apparatus as set forth in claim 3, wherein the controlling unit transmits the ARQ feedback information through the transmission/reception unit if the calculated bandwidth is not available.

6. The apparatus as set forth in claim 4, wherein the controlling unit transmits the ARQ feedback information through the transmission/reception unit if the calculated bandwidth is not available.

7. A data retransmission method in a wireless access communication system performing a data transmission/reception operation between a terminal and a base station using an ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request), comprising the step of:

transmitting allocation information for bandwidth for data retransmission with respect to data received by the base station and ARQ feedback information according to an error which is included in the received data from the base station to the terminal; and

re-transmitting the data in which the error had occurred using the allocated bandwidth based on the allocation information of the bandwidth for the data retransmission from the terminal to the base station.

8. A bandwidth allocation method for data retransmission in a base station of a wireless access communication system performing a data transmission/reception operation between a terminal and the base station using an ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request), comprising the steps of:

receiving data from the terminal; and

transmitting allocation information for bandwidth for data retransmission with respect to the received data and ARQ feedback information according to an error which is included in the received data from the base station to the terminal.

9. A bandwidth allocation method for data retransmission in a base station of a wireless access communication system performing a data transmission/reception operation between a terminal and the base station using an ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request), comprising the steps of:

if data received from the terminal contains an error, calculating bandwidth required for data retransmission for the received data;

determining if the calculated bandwidth can be allocated; and

if the calculated bandwidth can be allocated, allocating the bandwidth for the data retransmission, and transmitting the ARQ feedback information and information for the allocated bandwidth to the terminal.

10. The method as set forth in claim 9, further comprising the step of:

if the calculated bandwidth can not be allocated, transmitting the ARQ feedback information to the terminal.

11. A bandwidth allocation method for data retransmission in a base station of a wireless access communication system performing a data transmission/reception operation between a terminal and the base station using an ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request), comprising the step of:

if data received from the terminal contains an error, determining if a bandwidth allocation request is requested from the terminal before receiving the data from the terminal;

if the bandwidth allocation request is requested, calculating bandwidth required for data retransmission of the data and bandwidth corresponding to the bandwidth allocation request;

determining if the calculated bandwidth can be allocated; and

if the calculated bandwidth can be allocated, allocating the bandwidth for the data retransmission and the bandwidth corresponding to the bandwidth allocation request, and transmitting the ARQ feedback information according to an error which is included in the received data and information for the allocated bandwidth from the base station to the terminal.

12. The method as set forth in claim 11, further comprising the step of:

if the calculated bandwidth can not be allocated, transmitting the ARQ feedback information according to an error which is included in the received data from the base station to the terminal.
