Abstract

Provided is a method of transmitting and receiving data using a persistent allocation scheme in order to effectively support a voice service between a base station and a mobile terminal in a packet based mobile communication system. When an error occurs in transmitting control information that indicates whether to use a radio resource using the persistent allocation scheme, the base station may retransmit the control information and thereby maintain a communication quality.

Claims

1. A communication apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor,

wherein the processor, when executing program instructions stored in the memory, is configured to;

cause the communication apparatus to transmit a first message on a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a first subframe, wherein the first message indicates an activation of a semi-persistent scheduling and the first message comprises first information;

cause the communication apparatus to transmit first data on a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in the first subframe based on the first information;

cause the communication apparatus to transmit second data on a second PDSCH in a second subframe based on the first information; and

cause the communication apparatus to transmit a second message on a second PDCCH in a third subframe, the second message indicating a release of the semi-persistent scheduling,

wherein the processor is further configured to cause the communication apparatus to retransmit the second message if the processor fails to receive an acknowledgement (ACK) from a mobile terminal acknowledging receipt of the second message.

2. The communication apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first message is generated using a Semi-Persistent Scheduling Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (SPS C-RNTI).

3. The communication apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second message is generated using the SPS C-RNTI.

4. The communication apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive an acknowledgement (ACK) after transmitting the first data.

5. The communication apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first information indicates modulation and coding scheme of the first data and the second data.

6. The communication apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second subframe does not include modulation and coding scheme of the second data.

7. A communication apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor,

wherein the processor, when executing program instructions stored in the memory, is configured to;

cause the communication apparatus to receive a first message on a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a first subframe, wherein the first message indicates an activation of a semi-persistent scheduling and the first message comprises first information;

cause the communication apparatus to receive first data on a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in the first subframe based on the first information;

cause the communication apparatus to receive second data on a second PDSCH in a second subframe based on the first information;

cause the communication apparatus to receive a second message on a second PDCCH in a third subframe, the second message indicating a release of the semi-persistent scheduling; and

cause the communication apparatus to transmit an acknowledgement (ACK) acknowledging receipt of the second message.

8. The communication apparatus of claim 7, wherein the first message is received using a Semi-Persistent Scheduling Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (SPS C-RNTI).

9. The communication apparatus of claim 7, wherein the second message is received using the SPS C-RNTI.

10. The communication apparatus of claim 7, wherein the processor is further configured to cause the communication apparatus to transmit an acknowledgement (ACK) after receiving the first data.

11. The communication apparatus of claim 7, wherein the first information indicates modulation and coding scheme of the first data and the second data.

12. The communication apparatus of claim 7, wherein the second subframe does not include modulation and coding scheme of the second data.

13. A device for a mobile terminal, the device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor,

wherein the processor, when executing program instructions stored in the memory, is configured to;

cause the mobile terminal to receive a first message on a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a first subframe, wherein the first message indicates an activation of a semi-persistent scheduling and the first message comprises first information;

cause the mobile terminal to receive first data on a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in the first subframe based on the first information;

cause the mobile terminal to receive second data on a second PDSCH in a second subframe based on the first information;

cause the mobile terminal to receive a second message on a second PDCCH in a third subframe, the second message indicating a release of the semi-persistent scheduling; and

cause the mobile terminal to transmit an acknowledgement (ACK) acknowledging receipt of the second message.

14. The device of claim 13, wherein the first message is received using a Semi-Persistent Scheduling Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (SPS C-RNTI).

15. The device of claim 13, wherein the second message is received using the SPS C-RNTI.

16. The device of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to cause the mobile terminal to transmit an acknowledgement (ACK) after receiving the first data.

17. The device of claim 13, wherein the first information indicates modulation and coding scheme of the first data and the second data.

18. The device of claim 13, wherein the second subframe does not include modulation and coding scheme of the second data.

19. A communication method, comprising:

transmitting a first message to a mobile terminal on a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a first subframe, wherein the first message indicates an activation of a semi-persistent scheduling and the first message comprises first information;

transmitting first data to the mobile terminal on a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in the first subframe based on the first information;

transmitting a second message to the mobile terminal on a second PDCCH in a third subframe, the second message indicating a release of the semi-persistent scheduling; and

retransmitting the second message to the mobile terminal if an acknowledgement (ACK) is not received from the mobile terminal, the ACK acknowledging receipt of the second message.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising:

generating the first message using a Semi-Persistent Scheduling Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (SPS C-RNTI).

21. The method of claim 19, further comprising:

generating the second message using the SPS C-RNTI.
