APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING ENHANCED RACH IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for transmitting an enhanced Random Access CHannel (RACH) in a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system is provided, in which the UE transmits an uplink preamble to a Node B and upon receipt of an ACKnowledgment (ACK) for the uplink preamble, transmits an Enhanced Uplink Dedicated CHannel (E-DCH) and a Dedicated Physical Control CHannel (DPCCH) to the Node B. The transmission of the DPCCH starts before the transmission of the E-DCH. The time of the DPCCH transmission prior to the E-DCH transmission is proportional to the E-DCH TTI. Accordingly, the transmission starting time of E-DCH depends on the E-DCH TTI.
