Abstract

Disclosed is a method for performing uplink scheduling for an adaptive grant and polling (aGP) service in a broadband wireless access system, the method comprising: transmitting a first message for requesting the switching or changing of a QoS (quality of service) parameter set to a base station; receiving, from the base station, a service specific scheduling control header including adaptation start time information for adapting a new QoS parameter set; and switching or changing to the new QoS parameter set at the checked adaptation start time after checking the adaptation start time information within the received service specific scheduling control.

Claims

1-16. -16. (canceled)

17. A method for performing uplink scheduling service in a wireless access system, the method comprising:

setting up, by a terminal, a service flow based on a first quality of service (QoS) parameter set;

transmitting, by the terminal, to a base station, an adaptation request message to request a change of the first QoS parameter set;

receiving, by the terminal, from the base station, an adaptation response message as response to the adaptation request message, the adaptation response message including a second QoS parameter set and an adaptation start time, the adaptation start time indicating a start time when the second QoS parameter set is applied; and

adapting, by the terminal, the second QoS parameter set to the service flow at the adaptation start time,

wherein the second QoS parameter set is different from the first QoS parameter set.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the first and second QoS parameter sets include a grant and polling interval (GPI) and a grant size.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the adaptation request message is carried by a first service specific scheduling control header (SSSCH).

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the first SSSCH includes the second QoS parameter set.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein the first SSSCH includes a SSSCH type indicator for indicating that the adaptation request message is carried by the first SSSCH.

22. The method of claim 17, wherein the adaptation response message is carried by a second SSSCH.

23. The method of claim 22, wherein the second SSSCH includes a SSSCH type indicator for indicating that the adaptation response message is carried by the second SSSCH.

24. The method of claim 17, wherein the adaptation start time indicates least significant four bits of a frame number in which the second parameter set is applied.

25. A terminal for performing uplink scheduling service in a wireless access system, the terminal comprising:

a controller configured to set up a service flow based on a first quality of service (QoS) parameter set;

a transmission unit configured to transmit, to a base station, an adaptation request message to request a change of the first QoS parameter set; and

a receiving unit configured to receive, from the base station, an adaptation response message as response to the adaptation request message, the adaptation response message including a second QoS parameter set and an adaptation start time, the adaptation start time indicating a start time when the second QoS parameter set is applied,

wherein the controller configured to adapt the second QoS parameter set to the service flow at the adaptation start time and the second QoS parameter set is different from the first QoS parameter set.

26. The terminal of claim 25, wherein the first and second QoS parameter sets include a grant and polling interval (GPI) and a grant size.

27. The terminal of claim 25, wherein the adaptation response message is carried by a service specific scheduling control header (SSSCH).

28. The terminal of claim 25, wherein the adaptation start time indicates least significant four bits of a frame number in which the second parameter set is applied.
