SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSIGNING A SUB-CHANNEL IN A BWA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for requesting a Base Station (BS) to assign a sub-channel by a Subscriber Station (SS) in a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) communication system including the SS and the BS, the BS assigning the sub-channel to the SS by a predetermined scheme. The method includes determining by the SS an assignment scheme of a sub-channel currently assigned to the SS and confirming channel quality indicator of the sub-channel assigned by the determined sub-channel assignment scheme, transmitting, to the BS, a codeword representing a sub-channel assignment scheme to be converted, when the SS determines a need to convert the current sub-channel assignment scheme, and receiving a sub-channel through the converted sub-channel assignment scheme according to the transmitted codeword.
