Apparatus and method for renewal-based resource allocation in a broadband wireless access communication system
First Claim
1. A method for allocating resources in a Base Station (BS) in a wireless access system, the method comprising:
- allocating, by the BS, resources to a Mobile Station (MS) by resource allocation information;
determining, by the BS, both of whether the MS requires continuous resource allocation and whether the MS does not have transmission data temporarily, when a resource allocation duration for downlink resources allocated to the MS has expired;
performing, by the BS, one of resource allocation termination, resource allocation renewal, and temporary resource lending to another MS according to the determination, and transmitting information for updating the resource allocation information to the MS, andwherein the performing step comprise;
terminating the resource allocation, if the MS does not require continuous resource allocation;
renewing the resource allocation, if the MS requires continuous resource allocation and continuously has transmission data; and
determining whether to lend the allocated resources, lending the resources to another MS during a lending period when the BS determines to lend the allocated resources, and then reallocating the resources to the MS, if the MS requires continuous resource allocation and does not have transmission data temporarily.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for renewal-based resource allocation in a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) system are provided. A Base Station (BS) allocates resources to a Mobile Station (MS) by resource allocation information. It is determined whether the MS requires continuous resource allocation or whether the MS does not have transmission data temporarily, when a resource allocation duration for downlink resources allocated to the MS has expired. One of resource allocation termination, resource allocation renewal, and temporary resource lending to another MS is performed according to the determination. Information for updating the resource allocation information is transmitted to the MS.

10. A method for receiving resource allocation information in a Mobile Station (MS) in a wireless access system, the method comprising:
-
being allocated resources for which a privileged use is given to the MS from a Base Station (BS) by resource allocation information; receiving, by the MS, information for updating the resource allocation information from the BS, if a resource allocation duration for downlink resources allocated to the MS has expired; and continuing using the allocated resources, when the received information for updating the resource allocation information is renewal signaling information, and waiting for a lending period and being reallocated the allocated resources, when the received information for updating the resource allocation information is lend signaling information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus of a Base Station (BS) in a wireless access system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a resource allocator for allocating resources to a Mobile Station (MS) by resource allocation information, determining both of whether the MS requires continuous resource allocation and whether the MS does not have transmission data temporarily, when a resource allocation duration for downlink resources allocated to the MS has expired, and performing one of resource allocation termination, resource allocation renewal, and temporary resource lending to another MS according to the determination; and an update information transmitter for transmitting information for updating the resource allocation information to the MS, wherein the resource allocator terminates the resource allocation, if the MS does not require continuous resource allocation, renews the resource allocation, if the MS requires continuous resource allocation and continuously has transmission data, and determines whether to lend the allocated resources, lends the resources to another MS during a lending period when the BS determines to lend the allocated resources, and then reallocates the resources to the MS, if the MS requires continuous resource allocation and does not have transmission data temporarily. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. An apparatus of a Mobile Station (MS) in a wireless access system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a MAP interpreter for being allocated resources for which a privileged use is given to the MS from a Base Station (BS) by resource allocation information, and performing one of terminating use of the allocated resources, continuing using the allocated resources, and waiting for a lending period and resuming use of the allocated resources, according to information for updating the resource allocation information received from an update information receiver; and the update information receiver for providing the information for updating the resource allocation information received from the BS to the MAP interpreter, wherein the map (MAP) interpreter continues using the allocated resources, when the received information for updating the resource allocation information is renewal signaling information, and waits for a lending period and being reallocated the allocated resources, when the received information for updating the resource allocation information is lend signaling information. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
