Claim:
A method of allocating one or more uplink radio resources in a mobile communication system, the method comprising: allocating the one or more uplink radio resources for a terminal before a measurement report is transmitted by the terminal; transmitting measurement control information to the terminal before the measurement report is transmitted by the terminal, wherein the measurement control information is related to the allocated one or more uplink radio resources and is transmitted via a System Information Block 11 (SIB 11 ) or a System Information Block 12 (SIB 12 ); receiving the measurement report from the terminal via the allocated one or more uplink radio resources; determining a type of the measurement report transmitted by the terminal; transmitting information related to optimized uplink radio resources to the terminal based on the determined type of the measurement report; and assigning a priority for traffic data and a priority for the measurement report based on the determined type of the measurement report, wherein the information related to the optimized uplink radio resources includes certain information within a preamble of a random access channel (RACH), and wherein the method further comprises receiving, from the terminal, an uplink radio resource request when the allocated one or more uplink radio resources are not available for the terminal, the uplink radio resource request for transmitting the measurement report via the RACH.
