Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting uplink control information in a mobile communication system; and, more particularly, to a method for effectively forming uplink control information transmitted through a downlink from a base station to a terminal in a mobile communication system for providing a packet service and transmitting the uplink control information with minimum radio resources occupied. The method includes the steps of generating uplink control information; allocating the uplink control information to a downlink-shared radio resource for packet data transmission based on downlink scheduling information; and transmitting the radio resource to a terminal. The present invention is applied to a mobile communication system.

Claims

1-18. -18. (canceled)

19. A method of operating when a random access response is received, performed in a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a random access response from a base station; and

adjusting uplink timing synchronization with the base station by using uplink timing synchronization information included in the random access response.

25. A method for responding to a random access, performed in a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, a random access response including uplink timing synchronization information for the terminal; and

adjusting an uplink timing synchronization of the terminal based on the uplink timing synchronization information.
