Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for supporting automatic repeat request (ARQ) in a high-speed wireless packet data communication system. A mobile station receives control information including a subpacket identifier (SP_ID) representing the sequence of a subpacket, the size of an encoder packet (EP_SIZE), and a sequence identifier (AI_SN) that is toggled each time a new encoder packet is transmitted, while receiving one of a plurality of subpackets generated by segmenting a bit stream acquired by encoding a transmission encoder packet. The mobile station determines whether it will perform a decoding process caused by initial transmission or a decoding process caused by retransmission on the received subpacket, based on the control information.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving control information for a packet data channel in a mobile communication system supporting a high-speed packet data service and a circuit voice service. A base station generates control information indicating an encoder packet size, a code rate and the number of Walsh codes used for transmission of packet data to a mobile station, and transmits the generated control information over a packet data control channel. The mobile station receives the control information over the packet data control channel while receiving the packet data over the packet data channel, and decodes the received packet data according to a modulation order determined based on the received control information.

Abstract: A base station transmission apparatus for transmitting MAC (Medium Access Control) ID (Identification) information indicating a terminal to receive transmission packet data and length information of the transmission packet data in a mobile communication system for high-speed packet transmission, having an encoder for encoding a bit stream indicating the MAC ID information and generating coded symbols; a Walsh cover section for Walsh-covering the coded symbols from the encoder with a Walsh code based on the length information; and a Walsh spreader for spreading the Walsh-covered symbols from the Walsh cover section with a predetermined Walsh code.

Abstract: A base station PDCCH (Packet Data Control Channel) apparatus for scrambling transmission packet data to prevent other terminals from recognizing the transmission packet data in a base station including a packet data channel device for transmitting packet data to a terminal and a packet data control channel device for transmitting control information needed for demodulation of the packet data to the terminal. In the apparatus, an encoder encodes the control information and generates a coded control information stream comprised of a stream of a plurality of bits. A scrambler generates a scrambling sequence using unique information known to only the terminal and the base station, and scrambles the coded control information stream with the scrambling sequence.

Abstract: There are provided a transmitting/receiving apparatus and method for packet data service in a mobile telecommunication system. To determine the transmission format of packet data between a first format and a second format longer than the first format based on at least one channel state value received from a mobile station, received channel state values are sequentially stored. Then, the differences between all adjacent channel state values are calculated and summed. The sum is compared with a predetermined threshold. If the sum is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, the transmission format of the packet data is determined as the first format. If the sum is less than the predetermined threshold, the transmission format of the packet data is determined as the second format.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile station for determining a data rate for a packet data service in a mobile communication system including a base station, and the mobile station being provided with a voice service and a packet data service from the base station. In the mobile station, a receiver receives orthogonal code allocation information indicating the number of orthogonal codes allocated for the packet data service, a measurer measures a CIR using a received pilot channel, and a controller determines a data rate corresponding to the measured CIR, controls the determined data rate based on the number of the allocated orthogonal codes, and determines a controlled data rate.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for transmitting a time-discontinuous burst pilot channel being dependent on transmission data in a mobile communication system. In the apparatus, a modulator generates a modulated pilot symbol by outputting an input pilot symbol at a designated at least one of phase and on a designated complex channel according to an information bit for determining at least one of the phase and/or the complex channel, and a spreader spreads the modulated pilot symbol from the modulator with an orthogonal code selected among a plurality of orthogonal codes. The burst pilot channel transmits side information being dependent on the transmission data according to the phase, and/or the complex channel and the orthogonal code.
