The power headroom reporting method for a mobile terminal may include determining whether a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission and a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission are allowed to occur in a same subframe; determining whether an event for requesting power headroom reporting is generated; and reporting a first power headroom and a second power headroom to a base station. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110090858 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOCATING COMMUNICATION RESOURCES USING VIRTUAL CIRCUIT SWITCHING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING DATA IN A MOBILE STATION USING THE SAME - A method and apparatus using Virtual Circuit Switching (VCS) in a new scheme are provided for allocating and employing resources by combining Circuit Switching (CS) and Packet Switching (PS), in which a base station allocates resources of a dedicated channel using the CS to a user and then transmits data on the dedicated channel. When data is not transmitted to the user, the base station allocates the allocated dedicated channel resources for resources of a shared channel and transmits data of a different user. Therefore, system capacity can be increased and a waste of communication resources can be minimized in a wireless communication system for frequently transmitting a small amount of traffic that is sensitive to a delay time. | 04-21-2011 |
