RADIO CONTROL SIGNAL GENERATING METHOD, RADIO BASE STATION APPARATUS, AND MOBILE STATION

摘要

A technique of generating a MAC control PDU produced by multiplexing unsp ecified number of control messages and/or control messages of different size s while reducing the overhead of the MAC header to a minimum. One or more co ntrol messages (12a, 12b) to be transmitted are generated and multiplexed to generate a control message block (12) and to generate a control signal (10) transmitted through a transport channel. The length of the control message block can be varied according to the number of multiplexed control messages and/or the size of each control message. The control signal does not include information on the number of multiplexed control messages and/or the size o f each control message.
