Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for requesting an uplink resource in a wireless communication system. In the method according to one aspect of the invention, a terminal transmits a quick access message to a base station and receives a resource from the base station. The quick access message includes a first field that shows the attributes of the data that is supposed to be transmitted by the terminal, and a field that is determined by the first field.

Claims

1. A radio resource allocating method for a bandwidth request transmission in a base station (BS) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

allocating a first radio resource for the bandwidth request transmission of a mobile station (MS), the radio resource allocated to the MS while providing a service;

receiving a bandwidth request message from the MS via the allocated first radio resource, the bandwidth request message including a first field that includes first information indicating a type of the service for which the MS is communicating with the BS and a second field that includes second information, wherein a type of the second information is determined based on the first information, wherein the second information is an identifier of the MS when the first information indicates that the service is a delay-sensitive service and wherein the second information is a size of requested bandwidth when the first information indicates that the service is a delay-tolerable service; and

allocating a second radio resource to the MS in response to the bandwidth request message, wherein a size of the second radio resource is pre-determined by negotiation between the BS and the MS when the first information indicates that the service is the delay-sensitive service and wherein the size of the second radio resource is determined according to the size of the requested bandwidth when the first information indicates that the service is the delay-tolerable service.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the first radio resource includes a bandwidth request code and a specific position in a time-frequency domain; and

receiving the bandwidth request message comprises receiving the bandwidth request code via the specific position in the time-frequency domain.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the first radio resource is allocated to a plurality of mobile stations; and

the bandwidth request message is received from an indicated one of the plurality of the mobile stations via the allocated first radio resource.

4. A method of requesting a bandwidth in a mobile station (MS) during a voice service in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving an allocation of a first radio resource from a base station (BS) for a bandwidth request transmission; and

transmitting a bandwidth request message to the BS via the allocated first radio resource, the bandwidth request message including a first field that includes first information indicating a type of a service for which the MS is communicating with the BS and a second field that includes second information, wherein a type of the second information is determined based on the first information, wherein the second information is an identifier of the MS when the first information indicates that the service is a delay-sensitive service and wherein the second information is a size of requested bandwidth when the first information indicates that the service is a delay-tolerable service; and

receiving an allocation of a second radio resource to the MS in response to the bandwidth request message, wherein a size of the second radio resource is pre-determined by negotiation between the base station and the MS when the first information indicates that the service is the delay-sensitive service and wherein the size of the second radio resource is determined according to the size of the requested bandwidth when the first information indicates that the service is the delay-tolerable service.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein:

the first radio resource includes a bandwidth request code and a specific position in a time-frequency domain; and

transmitting the bandwidth request message comprises transmitting the bandwidth request code via the specific position in the time-frequency domain.
