Apparatus for transmitting/receiving data on packet data control channel in a communication system
First Claim
1. A method of transmitting in a transmitting apparatus of a base station (BS) packet data control information having a variable length according to the length of packet data, the BS having an orthogonal code space within which a plurality of orthogonal codes are arranged, and transmitting packet data spread with the orthogonal codes to a single mobile station (MS), or simultaneously transmits to two or more MSs packet data spread with different orthogonal codes in the orthogonal code space, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting on a primary packet data control channel (1PDCCH) primary packet data control information including information indicating one of at least two MSs that receive packet data and primary orthogonal code allocation information indicating a first orthogonal code of a predetermined numbered orthogonal code available to the MS in the orthogonal code space; and
transmitting on a secondary packet data control channel (2PDCCH) secondary packet data control information including information indicating the other MS, the primary orthogonal code allocation information, and secondary orthogonal code allocation information indicating orthogonal codes available to the other MS in the orthogonal code space.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a PDCCH (Packet Data Control Channel) for efficient packet data transmission in a communication system supporting packet data service. To allow both TDM-transmission and TDM/CDM-transmission of packet data, PDCCHs having different control information are transmitted. A 1PDCCH and a 2PDCCH are selectively transmitted according to the channel environments of users to thereby minimize the transmission power of the 1PDCCH and the 2PDCCH. A PDCCH receiver receives the 1PDCCH and the 2PDCCH using Walsh functions assigned to them, demodulates them, and checks errors in them, thereby obtaining control information about packet data to be received.
