Method for requesting and allocating uplink resources in a wireless communication system for supporting a real-time service

摘要

An uplink resource allocation method is provided for transmitting a control packet on a channel different from a currently connected channel in a wireless communication system for supporting a packet based real-time service. A new format of a grant management subheader is proposed in which a piggyback request conventionally used only for the same connection can be used also for a different connection. A resource allocation request for the different connection can be made using the newly proposed grant management subheader. When the resource allocation request for a new connection is made using the grant management subheader, a resource allocation time can be reduced and loss of resources allocated for an existing connection can be minimized.
