Abstract
A method and apparatus for configuring a downlink frame in a communication system is provided. The method and apparatus includes determining a first transmission Protocol Data Unit/Packet Data Unit (PDU) to be transmitted according to a scheduling priority, variably determining an amount of a data burst by calculating a sub-channel axis size of a first sub-region and a number of slots to be allocated in the first sub-region in an accumulated manner when the first PDU is allocated in the first sub-region, determining a size of a MAP region according to an amount of the data burst; setting up the MAP region in a downlink frame region according to the determined size of the MAP region including allocation information of a data burst, and transmitting the data burst over a data burst allocation region set up in a remaining region except for the MAP region in the downlink frame region, wherein the data burst includes at least one PDU having the same Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) level, or is a data burst generated by concatenating PDUs of a same Mobile Station (MS), wherein the data burst allocation region includes a non-Hybrid Automatic Retransmit reQuest (non-HARQ) region and HARQ region, the non-HARQ region is used for transmitting non-HARQ data bursts, the HARQ region is used for transmitting non-HARQ data bursts, and the first sub-region is non-HARQ region or HARQ region.
