Abstract
In a wireless communication system, there is a method of generating and transmitting signaling information from a user, where user control information may be appended as a header to a data block, and the data block and header may be encoded and transmitted as a signaling message from the user. In a method of scheduling a user for transmitting information, a signaling message, which may include user control information, is received from a user. A scheduling grant message that may include an allocated data rate may be transmitted in response to the received signaling message. The user control information may include one or more of buffer status information of the user, reverse pilot channel transmit power information and data related to a soft handoff (SHO) status of the user.
