A method and apparatus for scheduling uplink common control blocks in a packet data communication system, e.g., a GPRS based packet data system is described. Priority is put on allocation of uplink packet common control channels in a transmission block period immediatly after a downlink common control or broadcast channel block period. The method of allocating uplink common control blocks is beneficial, e.g., in a Compact system, where a time reuse is employed for control channels, and where base stations have periods with no transmission, coinciding with the periods when neighbor base stations are transmitting control on the same frequency. Advantageously, the method and apparatus of the present invention automatically introduce the time reuse also for uplink common control channel transmissions. |
