Abstract

Provided is a system and method for performing a ranging process in a communication system. If a Subscriber Station (SS) detects the insufficiency of UpLink (UL) resources for transmission of a Ranging Request (RNG_REQ) message during the ranging process, it transmits a UL resource allocation request message requesting additional allocation of the UL resources to a Base Station (BS) for additional transmission of the RNG_REQ message to cause the BS to additionally allocate the UL resources for the additional transmission of the RNG_REQ message.
