There is provided a method for controlling gated transmission of a dedicated channel signal in a W-CDMA communication system. In the W-CDMA communication system, a dedicated control channel has 15 slots in one frame, each slot includes a TFCI bit, a TPC bit, and a pilot bit, and the dedicated control channel and a dedicated data channel for transmitting packet data are multiplexed prior to transmission. In an embodiment of the present invention, a base station transmits to a mobile station a gated transmission command message including a gating rate and a gated transmission start time for gated transmission of the dedicated control channel signal, if no data exists on the dedicated data channel for a predetermined period of time. Then, the base station transmits the dedicated control channel signal in a gated mode at the gated transmission start time set in the gated transmission command message. |
