Abstract

An access request message transmission device for a mobile station in a CDMA communication system employing RSMA in which a base station assigns a reverse common channel in response to an access request message from the mobile station, and the mobile station transmits a message to the base station over the assigned reverse common channel. The access request message transmission device includes a hash ID generator for generating a multi-bit hash ID for exclusively using the reverse common channel; a traffic information generator for generating multi-bit traffic information representing traffic information on the reverse common channel; and an access channel transmitter for generating the access request message using the hash ID and the traffic information, and transmitting the generated access request message to the base station over an access channel.

Claims

1. A method for controlling transmission power of a reverse common channel in a base station upon failure to acquire a signal transmitted over the reverse common channel, the method comprising the steps of:

generating power-up commands for said signal for a first predetermined time having a predetermined power-up value; and

generating power-down commands for said signal for a second predetermined time having a predetermined power-down value upon failure to acquire said signal for the first predetermined time.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said signal is a preamble.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said power-up value for the power-up command is not equal to said power-down value for the power-down command.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said power-down value is greater than said power-up value.

5. A method for controlling transmission power of a reverse common channel in a mobile station, in which after being assigned the reverse common channel, the mobile station controls power of a transmission signal on the reverse common channel, the method comprising the steps of:

transmitting the transmission signal at a given transmission power;

decreasing power of the transmission signal in response to a power-down command from a base station;

measuring a strength of a power command signal from a base station;

comparing the strength of the power command signal with a predetermined value; and

releasing the transmission signal when the strength of the power command signal is equal to or less than the predetermined value.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the transmission signal is a preamble.

7. A method for controlling transmission power of a reverse common channel in a CDMA communication system upon failure to acquire a signal transmitted over the reverse common channel, the method comprising the steps of:

generating, at the base station, a power-up command for the signal for a first predetermined time;

transmitting, at the mobile station, the signal at a given transmission power according to the power-up command;

generating, at the base station, a power-down command for the signal for a second predetermined time upon failure to acquire the signal for the first predetermined time;

decreasing, at the mobile station, the signal power in response to the power-down command;

measuring, at the mobile station, a strength of a power command signal from a base station;

comparing, at the mobile station, the strength of the power command signal with a predetermined value; and

releasing the signal when the strength of the power command signal is equal to or less than the predetermined value.
