Signaling method between MAC entities in a packet communication system
First Claim
1. A signaling method between a MAC (Medium Access Control) layer entity of a transmission apparatus and a MAC layer entity of a reception apparatus in a wireless communication system including the transmission apparatus and the reception apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting by the MAC layer entity of the transmission apparatus a MAC signaling message including control information and a signaling indication indicating selective transmission of the control information according to a value of the signaling indication; and
determining by the MAC layer entity of the reception apparatus whether the MAC signaling message includes the signaling indication, and receiving the control information included in the MAC signaling message if the MAC signaling message includes the signaling indication.

Abstract
A signaling method between a MAC (Medium Access Control) layer entity of a transmission apparatus and a MAC layer entity of a reception apparatus in a packet communication system including the transmission apparatus and the reception apparatus wherein upon receiving a signaling request, the MAC layer entity of the transmission apparatus transmits a MAC signaling message including control information and a signaling indication indicating transmission of the control information and the MAC layer entity of the reception apparatus determines whether the MAC signaling message includes the signaling indication, and receives the control information included in the MAC signaling message, if the MAC signaling message includes the signaling indication.

5. A method for performing signaling to a MAC (Medium Access Control) layer entity of a reception apparatus by a MAC layer entity of a transmission apparatus under a control of a radio link control (RLC) entity in a wireless communication system including the transmission apparatus and the reception apparatus, comprising the steps of:
-
generating a MAC signaling message including the signaling transport block and a signaling indication indicating selective transmission of a signaling transport block according to a value of the signaling indication; scheduling transmission time points of the MAC signaling message; and transmitting the MAC signaling message to the MAC layer entity of the reception apparatus at the corresponding scheduled transmission time points. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
