Abstract: A method for allocating resource regions in a wireless access system is provided. This method collectively allocates resources of consecutive frames. Specifically, a message, including allocation information used to collectively and consecutively allocate identical resource regions, is received from a base station and data is transmitted through the allocated resource regions. Unlike the conventional method, a resource region is not allocated in each frame but instead identical resource regions are allocated in multiple frames, thereby reducing MAP overhead in a network.

Abstract: A method of allocating a radio resource in a wireless access system is disclosed. The method includes receiving a control message associated with radio resource allocation for transmitting uplink data to the base station, wherein the control message comprises a first persistent uplink allocation information element comprising first resource allocation information associated with a first resource allocation region for transmitting the uplink data of a mobile station and transmitting an acknowledgment (ACK) message from the mobile station to the base station in response to successfully receiving the first persistent uplink allocation information element.
