Abstract

Disclosed is the radio (wireless) communication system providing a radio communication service and the terminal, and more particularly, to a method for restricting a use of particular control channel in an Evolved Universal Mobile telecommunications System (E-UMTS) evolved from the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system.

Claims

1. A method of communicating data in wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a terminal, configuration information of a physical channel used for a transmission of a request message;

receiving, by the terminal, information related to a prohibited condition for the transmission of request message,

wherein the prohibited condition is associated with at least one of a time alignment timer, a particular timer that restricts a transmission of the request message, and a maximum number of request message transmissions, and

wherein the at least one of time alignment timer is used for controlling an uplink time alignment;

determining whether or not the request message is capable to transmit according to the received information; and

performing, by the terminal, a next operation according to the determining step,

wherein the next operation is to transmit the request message on the physical channel based on the received configuration information if the request message is capable to transmit,

wherein the next operation is to transmit a random access preamble if the request message is not capable to transmit, and

wherein the request message is a Scheduling Request (SR) message that is used to request an uplink radio resource.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

triggering the request message before the determining step.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the request message is triggered when there is no uplink radio resource for a data transmission.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the physical channel is a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration information of the physical channel and the information related to the prohibited condition are received simultaneously.

6. A method of communicating data in wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting configuration information of a physical channel used for a transmission of a request message by a terminal;

transmitting information related to a prohibited condition indicating whether or not the request message is capable to transmit by the terminal,

wherein the prohibited condition is associated with at least one of a time alignment timer, a particular timer that restricting a transmission of the request message, and a maximum number of request message transmissions, and

wherein the at least one of time alignment timer is used for controlling an uplink time alignment; and

receiving the request message on the physical channel based on the configuration information if the prohibited condition is not met or receiving a random access preamble if the prohibited condition is met,

wherein the request message is a Scheduling Request (SR) message that is used to request an uplink radio resource by the terminal.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the physical channel is a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the configuration information of the physical channel and the information related to the prohibited condition are transmitted simultaneously.
