APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING INTERACTIVE BROADCASTING SERVICE IN BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and a method for providing an interactive broadcasting service in a broadband wireless access system are provided to enable a contents producer or a service provider to request plural receiver to send responses through an MBS(Multicast and Broadcast Service) service, collect the responses, and reflect the collected information to contents by using an MBS system, thereby promoting the activation of audience participation programs. A method for providing an interactive broadcasting service in a broadband wireless access system comprises the following steps of: transmitting contents to an MS(Mobile Station)(200) and transmitting a burst allocation request message to a BS(Base Station)(240) at a terminal interaction request time(231); and receiving interactive information from the MS through an uplink bandwidth allocated to the MS(237,241).
