| 1. A method of efficiently providing transmission power status information (TPS) and buffer occupancy information (BO) of
a user equipment (UE), in a mobile communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
confirming whether an amount of data to be transmitted by the UE exceeds a preset threshold value;
if the amount of data exceeds the threshold value, including the TPS and the BO of the UE in a protocol data unit (PDU) of
a media access control layer (MAC-e);
reporting a start of a packet data service by transmitting the MAC-e PDU that comprises the TPS and the BO of the UE to a
Node B through a MAC-e signaling; and
reporting an occurrence of an indicator that indicates an end of the TPS transmission to the Node B through a MAC-e signaling
if the amount of data to be transmitted by the UE is less than the threshold value.
