Abstract

A signal receiving method includes allocating a communication resource corresponding to a mobile station over a plurality of frames, transmitting allocation information on the communication resource to the mobile station, and receiving a transmitted signal through the communication resource. Therefore, the resource allocated on the frequency axis is minimized by allocating the resource to the mobile station over a plurality of frames, and the resource is allocated within the limited power of the mobile station, thereby improving radio performance.

Claims

1. A method for receiving signals comprising:

allocating, by a base station, a communication resource corresponding to a mobile station over a plurality of frames when power required by the communication resource of a frame is less than the maximum power of the mobile station;

transmitting allocation information of the communication resource to the mobile station; and

receiving a transmitted signal through the communication resource,

wherein the transmitted signal includes at least two coding blocks that are channel coded for a datum, and

transmitting the allocation information of the communication resource includes transmitting a single piece of allocation information to the mobile station in the plurality of frames for transmitting the coding block of the datum.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein

the allocation information of the communication resource includes transmission period information of the data.

3. The method of claim 2, further including,

when the communication resource is additionally needed,

additionally allocating the communication resource to the mobile station;

and wherein the additional allocation information of the communication resource to the mobile station in the frame includes the communication resource.

4. The method of claim 2, further including,

when the communication resource allocated to the mobile station is allocated to another mobile station,

allocating the communication resource to the other mobile station;

and

transmitting information on the allocation of the communication resource to the other mobile station to the mobile station in the frame including the communication resource.

5. The method of claim 2, further including,

when the coding block is requested to be retransmitted,

allocating the communication resource for the retransmission;

and

transmitting allocation information of the communication resource to the mobile station in the frame including the communication resource.

6. A base station for use in a wireless communications system, the base station comprising:

a transmitter configured to allocate a communication resource corresponding to a mobile station over a plurality of frames when the power required by the communication resource of a frame is less than the maximum power of the mobile station and transmit allocation information of the communication resource to the mobile station; and

a receiver configured to receive a transmitted signal through the communication resource,

wherein the transmitted signal includes at least two coding blocks that are channel coded for a datum, and

the transmitter further is configured to transmit a single piece of allocation information to the mobile station in the plurality of frames for transmitting the coding block of the datum.

7. The base station of claim 6, wherein allocation information of the communication resource includes transmission period information of the data.

8. The base station of claim 7, wherein the transmitter is configured to, when the communication resource is additionally needed, additionally allocate the communication resource to the mobile station;

and wherein the additional allocation information of the communication resource to the mobile station in the frame includes the communication resource.

9. The base station of claim 7, wherein the transmitter is configured to, when the communication resource allocated to the mobile station is allocated to another mobile station, allocate the communication resource to the other mobile station;

and wherein the additional allocation information on the allocation of the communication resource to the other mobile station to the mobile station in the frame includes the communication resource.

10. The base station of claim 7, wherein the transmitter is configured to, when the coding block is requested to be retransmitted:

allocate the communication resource for the retransmission; and

transmit allocation information of the communication resource to the mobile station in the frame including the communication resource.

11. A transmitter for use in a base station in a wireless communications system, the transmitter comprising:

at least one antenna; and

processing circuitry configured to allocate a communication resource corresponding to a mobile station over a plurality of frames when the power required by the communication resource of a frame is less than the maximum power of the mobile station and transmit allocation information of the communication resource to the mobile station such that a transmitted signal can be received by the base station through the communication resource,

wherein the transmitted signal includes at least two coding blocks that are channel coded for a datum, and

the processing circuitry further is configured to transmit a single piece of allocation information to the mobile station in the plurality of frames for transmitting the coding block of the datum.
