Abstract

An apparatus and method for reducing the volume of a resource allocation information message in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. The method includes transmitting a message including information indicating a periodicity of an uplink control channel for an initial network entry; and receiving an uplink signal for the initial network entry through the uplink control channel.

Claims

1. A method for operating a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a message including information indicating a periodicity of an uplink control channel for an initial network entry; and

receiving an uplink signal for the initial network entry through the uplink control channel.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the message comprises broadcasting the message to a plurality of mobile stations.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the information indicates that the periodicity is one (1) frame or two (2) frames.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the periodicity indicates frames including the uplink control channel, and

wherein the information further indicates a position of the uplink control channel in each of the frames.

5. A method for operating a mobile station (MS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a message including information indicating a periodicity of an uplink control channel for an initial network entry; and

transmitting an uplink signal for the initial network entry through the uplink control channel.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein transmitting the uplink signal comprises transmitting the uplink signal in a frame indicated by the information.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein receiving the message comprises receiving the message broadcasted to a plurality of MSs including the MS.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein the information indicates that the periodicity is one (1) frame or two (2) frames.

9. The method of claim 5, wherein the periodicity indicates frames including the uplink control channel, and

wherein the information further indicates a position of the uplink control channel in each of the frames.

10. An apparatus for a base station in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a message including information indicating a periodicity of an uplink control channel for an initial network entry; and

a receiver configured to receive an uplink signal for the initial network entry through the uplink control channel.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the transmitter is further configured to broadcast the message to a plurality of mobile stations (MSs).

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the information indicates that the periodicity is one (1) frame or two (2) frames.

13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the periodicity indicates frames including the uplink control channel, and

wherein the information further indicates a position of the uplink control channel in each of the frames.

14. An apparatus for operating a mobile station (MS) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a message including information indicating a periodicity of an uplink control channel for an initial network entry; and

a transmitter configured to transmit an uplink signal for the initial network entry through the uplink control channel.

15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit the uplink signal in a frame indicated by the information.

16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the receiver is further configured to receive the message broadcasted to a plurality of MSs including the MS.

17. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the information indicates that the periodicity is one (1) frame or two (2) frames.

18. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the periodicity indicates frames including the uplink control channel, and

wherein the information further indicates a position of the uplink control channel in each of the frames.
