Disclosed is a method of transmitting emergency stop control information on a common packet channel (CPCH) in a mobile communication system, which can perform an emergency stop within a less period of time when the user equipment is in a state of transmitting a packet through the CPCH by rapidly transmitting he emergency stop control information. The method of transmitting emergency stop control information on a CPCH is a radio mobile communication system comprises a first step of inserting and transmitting a predetermined bit pattern to a downlink (DL) dedicated physical channel (DPCH) by a universal mobile terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN), a second step of recognizing the particular bit pattern by the UE, and a third step of controlling data transmission through an uplink (UL) CPCH by the UE. Thus, the method according to the invention has an effect of more rapidly transmitting urgent control information through the DL DPCCH or the DPDCH, which are related to the CPCH, or through both of these two channels when the UE is transmitting a packet through the CPCH currently allocated to the UE.
