A transmitting/receiving apparatus of down-link data using an automatic
repeat request (ARQ) scheme and a method thereof in a wireless
communication system is provided. In order to send an ARQ feedback
message between a base station and a terminal without a radio resource
allocation process in a wireless communication system, when the base
station receives down-link data from the terminal of the base station,
the base station stores the number list of the transmitted frames and
periodically detects the list and automatically allocates radio resources
for up-link without an additional process when the list is larger than a
predetermined frame. The radio resource allocation request process can be
omitted because a radio resource is automatically allocated during the
up-link period after the base station transmits the down-link traffic.
Thus, the response speed of an ARQ feedback acknowledgement message is
enhanced, thereby enhancing a down-link transmission speed.
