Patent ID: 8483151

Claim:
A method for requesting an emergency service in a wireless access system, comprising: performing a negotiation to determine whether the emergency service is supported during a basic capability negotiation process; transmitting, by a mobile station, a predetermined code for requesting the emergency service to a base station through an acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) channel, when the ACK/NACK channel is allocated to the mobile station, without requesting allocation of a new control channel for the emergency service, wherein the ACK/NACK channel is a contention-free-based control channel that is dedicated to the mobile station, wherein the predetermined code is phase-shifted by a specific phase shift value received from the base station through a UCD (Uplink Channel Descriptor) message; receiving, by the mobile station, an uplink map (UL-MAP) message to allocate a bandwidth from the base station; transmitting, by the mobile station, a dynamic service addition request message requesting information for the emergency service to the base station through the allocated bandwidth; and receiving, by the mobile station, a dynamic service addition response message comprising a traffic connection identifier and a quality of service parameter set for the emergency service from the base station, wherein the traffic connection identifier is mapped with a service flow identifier for the emergency service flow.
