Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a PDCCH (Packet Data Control Channel) for efficient packet data transmission in a communication system supporting packet data service. To allow both TDM-transmission and TDM/CDM-transmission of packet data, PDCCHs having different control information are transmitted. A 1PDCCH and a 2PDCCH are selectively transmitted according to the channel environments of users to thereby minimize the transmission power of the 1PDCCH and the 2PDCCH. A PDCCH receiver receives the 1PDCCH and the 2PDCCH using Walsh functions assigned to them, demodulates them, and checks errors in them, thereby obtaining control information about packet data to be received.

Abstract: A reverse data transmission apparatus and method in a mobile communication system. A mobile station receives information about an MADR (Maximum Allowable Data Rate) from a base station in a first predetermined frame period, determines a data rate equal to or lower than the MADR, and requests the determined data rate to the base station.

Then, the mobile station measures a traffic to pilot ratio (T/P) from the base station and controls the data rate according to the T/P during data transmission.
