Apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving forward rate control information in a mobile communication system

摘要

An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving forward rate control information in a mobile communication system. The method of transmitting forward rate control information in a terminal of a mobile communication system in which an Access Node (AN) provides a sector cover corresponding to each of active sectors for the terminal and a high rate control cover, which is common to all sectors, used to direct a high data rate, includes determining a forward rate through a servicing sector at a transmission of forward rate control information; and, if the determined rate is greater than a predetermined rate, transmitting the forward rate control information through a forward rate control channel using the high rate control cover.
