Method for allocating resources to uplink control channel

摘要

A method for adaptively allocating resources of an uplink control channel according to a system situation is disclosed. If a base station (BS) recognizes the system situation, establishes control information for resource allocation, and transmits the control information to a mobile station (MS), the mobile station (MS) allocates resources for transmitting uplink control information using a specific block or a specific resource distribution method according to the corresponding control information. The system situation may be changed according to the number of users contained in the BS's coverage or the usage of a multi-antenna. The variation of the system situation is actively reflected so that the uplink channel resources can be effectively used.

1. A method of allocating resources for transmitting uplink control information at a mobile station (MS) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, by the MS from a base station (BS), system information for use of an uplink control channel; allocating, by the MS, resources of the uplink control channel for transmission of the uplink control information, wherein the allocated resources are determined based on the received system information; and if a pilot signal representing channel quality and the uplink control information are to be simultaneously transmitted via the specific subframe, puncturing, by the MS, one time unit of a specific subframe among the allocated resources of the uplink control channel; and simultaneously transmitting, by the MS to the BS, the pilot signal and the uplink control information via the specific subframe having the punctured one time unit.
