The present invention relates to a system for gating a dedicated physical control
channel in a mobile communication system. A UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access
Network) transmits a gating start command or a gating end command to a UE (User
Equipment) through a specific transport format combination indicator symbol according
to whether there exists data transmitted over a downlink physical shared channel
and a dedicated physical data channel, thereby to start or end gating the dedicated
physical control channel.
