Thus, if the radio resource allocation request is transmitted through the CQI channel that periodically carries CQIs, the consumption of radio resources can be prevented without the loss of the CQI channel. Further, a base station can directly determine a mobile station that has requested radio resources allocation, so there is no contention. The power of a mobile station can also be saved because it is not necessary to send a plurality of random access requests or ranging requests.

  • the vectors assigned to the ACK/NACK channel can be expressed in the following Table 8.
  • the ACK/NACK channel is assigned a 1/2 subchannel and, therefore, one ACK/NACK channel includes three tiles. Since one vector is assigned to one tile, three vectors are required to represent ACK/ NACK.
  • the base station If an ACK signal is received in response to the downlink data, the base station transmits next downlink data. However, if a NACK signal is received, the base station retransmits retransmission data.
  • the retransmission data can be identical to or different from the original downlink data depending on the HARQ scheme.
  • the base station can attempt retransmission during a predetermined number of times.
  • the mobile station In order to request radio resource allocation, the mobile station shifts the phase of the ACK/NACK signal and transmits the phase shifted signal to the base station through the ACK/NACK channel (S350). This is performed when 'Phase shifted BW request' of the bit #3 in Table 1 or the bit #7 in Table 2 is 'on' in the capability negotiation. In order for the mobile station to transmit a user signal through the uplink, it must be allocated uplink radio resources from the base station. When transmitting the ACK/ NACK signal, the mobile station shifts the phases of the ACK/NACK signal and multiplexes radio resource allocation requests.
  • the mobile station multiplexes the first control signal and the second control signal.
  • the ACK/NACK channel carries an actual ACK/NACK value and radio resource allocation request information using the phase-shifted ACK/NACK signal.
  • the base station detects the ACK/NACK signal from the ACK/NACK channel and the radio resource allocation request, and allocates radio resources to the mobile station (S360).
  • the mobile station to which the radio resources are allocated transmits uplink data using the radio resources (S370).
  • the radio resource allocation request is multiplexed by shifting the phase of the ACK/NACK signal transmitted through the ACK/NACK channel. Accordingly, a control channel for an additional radio resource allocation request is not required, thereby reducing control signaling.
  • the CQI and the radio resource allocation request are multiplexed to the CQI channel and the ACK/NACK signal and the radio resource allocation request are multiplexed to the ACK/NACK channel.
  • this is only illustrative and a plurality of control signals can be multiplexed and transmitted through one channel.
  • the CQI and the ACK/NACK signal can be multiplexed. That is, in the capability negotiation between the mobile station and the base station, when the multiplexing indicator is set to 'Phase shifted ACK/NACK' and it becomes 'on', the ACK/NACK signal can be multiplexed in the CQI and transmitted.
  • the radio resource allocation request can be multiplexed to multiple input multiple output (MIMO) feedback information.
  • MIMO multiple input multiple output
  • phase shift values can be multiplexed by using different phase shift values.
  • a 2-bit control signal can be mul- tiplexed. That is, a 2-bit control signal can be represented depending on a phase shift value by setting the phase shift value to ⁇ /4, ⁇ /2, 3 ⁇ /4 or ⁇ .
  • the range and number of the phase shift value can be applied in various ways depending on a multiplexed control signal.
  • Every function as described above can be performed by a processor such as a microprocessor based on software coded to perform such function, a program code, etc., a controller, a micro-controller, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), or the like. Planning, developing and implementing such codes may be obvious for the skilled person in the art based on the description of the present invention.

Abstract

Un procédé d'émission de signaux de commande consiste à configurer un indicateur de multiplexage indiquant qu'une pluralité de signaux de commande sont multiplexés sur un canal de commande, à générer un signal de commande multiplexé par multiplexage d'un premier signal de commande et d'un second signal de commande conformément à l'indicateur de multiplexage et à émettre le signal de commande multiplexé sur le canal de commande. La surcharge système due à la signalisation de commande peut être réduite lorsqu'on émet le signal de commande multiplexé sur un canal de commande.
