Apparatus for transmitting/receiving data on packet data control channel in a communication system

摘要

An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a PDCCH (Packet Data Control Channel) for efficient packet data transmission in a communication system supporting packet data service. To allow both TDM-transmission and TDM/CDM-transmission of packet data, PDCCHs having different control information are transmitted. A 1PDCCH and a 2PDCCH are selectively transmitted according to the channel environments of users to thereby minimize the transmission power of the 1PDCCH and the 2PDCCH. A PDCCH receiver receives the 1PDCCH and the 2PDCCH using Walsh functions assigned to them, demodulates them, and checks errors in them, thereby obtaining control information about packet data to be received.
