Abstract

A method of allocating a radio resource in a wireless access system is disclosed. The method includes receiving a control message associated with radio resource allocation for transmitting uplink data to the base station, wherein the control message comprises a first persistent uplink allocation information element comprising first resource allocation information associated with a first resource allocation region for transmitting the uplink data of a mobile station and transmitting an acknowledgment (ACK) message from the mobile station to the base station in response to successfully receiving the first persistent uplink allocation information element.

Claims

1. A method of allocating a radio resource in a wireless access system, the method performed by a base station and comprising:

transmitting a first uplink MAP message, the first uplink MAP message including a first persistent uplink MAP information element (IE), the first persistent uplink MAP IE comprising first resource allocation information for persistently allocating a first resource allocation region for transmitting uplink data and first acknowledgment (ACK) information indicating a first ACK transmission region allocated for an ACK message related to the first persistent uplink MAP IE;

receiving an ACK message indicating whether the first uplink MAP message including the first persistent uplink MAP IE is successfully received via the first ACK transmission region; and

receiving uplink data via the first resource allocation region,

wherein the first resource allocation information includes at least an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA) symbol offset, a subchannel offset, or OFDMA slot information that indicates the first resource allocation region.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising re-transmitting the first uplink MAP message at a next frame subsequent to a frame in which the first uplink MAP message is transmitted if the ACK message is not received via the first ACK transmission region.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising re-transmitting the first uplink MAP message after a predetermined number of frames if the ACK message is not received via the first ACK transmission region.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the uplink data has a periodic traffic pattern and a fixed payload size.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the uplink data comprises an Internet Protocol (IP)-based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) data.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first persistent uplink MAP IE further comprises a field for indicating whether the first resource allocation region is allocated or de-allocated.

7. A base station (BS) for allocating a radio resource in a wireless access system, the BS configured to:

transmit a first uplink MAP message that includes a first persistent uplink MAP information element (IE), the first persistent uplink MAP IE comprising first resource allocation information for persistently allocating a first resource allocation region for transmitting uplink data and first acknowledgment (ACK) information indicating a first ACK transmission region allocated for an ACK message related to the first persistent uplink MAP IE;

receive an ACK message indicating whether the first uplink MAP message including the first persistent uplink MAP IE is successfully received via the first ACK transmission region; and

receive uplink data via the first resource allocation region,

wherein the first resource allocation information includes at least an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA) symbol offset, a subchannel offset, or OFDMA slot information that indicates the first resource allocation region.

8. The base station of claim 7, wherein the BS is further configured to re-transmit the first uplink MAP message at a next frame subsequent to a frame in which the first uplink MAP message is transmitted if the ACK message is not received via the first ACK transmission region.

9. The base station of claim 7, wherein the BS is further configured to re-transmit the first uplink MAP message after a predetermined number of frames if the ACK message is not received via the first ACK transmission region.

10. The base station of claim 7, wherein the uplink data has a periodic traffic pattern and a fixed payload size.

11. The base station of claim 7, wherein the uplink data comprises an Internet Protocol (IP)-based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) data.

12. The base station of claim 7, wherein the first persistent uplink MAP IE further comprises a field for indicating whether the first resource allocation region is allocated or de-allocated.
