Method and apparatus for providing service in a communication system
First Claim
1. A method for providing a service in a communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- allocating communication resources for each of a plurality of communication service modes corresponding to wireless access technologies by a Base Station (BS) supporting the plurality of communication service modes, according to a ratio of the plurality of communication service modes determined in accordance with a communication service mode preferred by a terminal; and
transmitting a combination of communication resources allocated for each of the plurality of communication service modes to the terminal,wherein allocating communication resources comprises;
allocating the communication resources corresponding to a first transmission unit that is periodically transmitted regardless of a service mode supported by a corresponding terminal;
dividing remaining communication resources except for communication resources corresponding to the first transmission unit into second transmission units; and
mapping the second transmission units corresponding to the ratio determined in accordance with the communication service mode preferred by the terminal for each of the plurality of communication service modes.

Abstract
A method for providing a service in a communication system is provided. A Base Station (BS) supporting a plurality of communication service modes allocates communication resources for each of the plurality of communication service modes according to a ratio determined in accordance with a communication service mode preferred by a terminal. The BS transmits a combination of resources allocated for each of the plurality of communication service modes to the terminal. The communication service mode preferred by the terminal is determined using at least one of channel condition of the terminal, moving velocity, preferred communication mode, required performance, billing system, and user preference.

6. A method for receiving a service by a terminal in a communication system supporting a plurality of communication service modes, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first transmission unit including reference signals capable of estimating expected performance for each of the plurality of communication service modes, and information indicating which time/frequency resources each of the plurality of communication service modes uses to service the corresponding communication service mode; determining a best communication service mode using the reference signals; and determining receipt of a second transmission unit to which the best communication service mode is mapped, and transmitting a request message for allocation of the second transmission unit to which the best communication service mode is mapped, upon failure to receive the second transmission unit. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. An apparatus for providing a service in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a Base Station (BS) supporting a plurality of communication service modes corresponding to wireless access technologies, for allocating communication resources for each of the plurality of communication service modes, according to a ratio of the plurality of communication service modes determined in accordance with a communication service mode preferred by a terminal, and transmitting a combination of communication resources allocated for each of the plurality of communication service modes to the terminal, wherein the BS allocates the communication resources corresponding to a first transmission unit that is periodically transmitted regardless of a service mode supported by a corresponding terminal;
divides remaining communication resources except for the communication resources corresponding to the first transmission unit into second transmission units; and
maps the second transmission units corresponding to the ratio determined in accordance with the communication service mode preferred by the terminal for each of the plurality of communication service modes. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus for receiving a service in a communication system supporting a plurality of communication service modes, the apparatus comprising:
a terminal for receiving a first transmission unit including reference signals capable of estimating expected performance for each of the plurality of communication service modes, and information indicating which time/frequency resources each of the plurality of communication service modes uses to service the corresponding communication service mode;
determining a best communication service mode using the reference signals; and
determining receipt of a second transmission unit to which the best communication service mode is mapped, and transmitting a request message for allocation of the second transmission unit to which the best communication service mode is mapped, upon failure to receive the second transmission unit.- View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
