Abstract
A method of indicating to a secondary station a set of at least one available transmission resource among a predetermined plurality of transmission resources, each set being described by a plurality of parameters, said method comprising the steps of: —signalling to the secondary station an association between a control signalling channel and at least one parameter describing a set of transmission resources; coding into an address at least one remaining parameter from the plurality of parameters describing the said set of transmission resources; —transmitting the address to the secondary station using the said control signalling channel.

A method of indicating, to a secondary station, a set of at least one transmission resource from among a plurality of transmission resources, said indicated set of at least one transmission resource being described by a plurality of parameters, said method comprising:
- preconfiguring, at the secondary station, at least one association between a control signalling channel selected from among a plurality of control signalling channels, and a value of at least one fixed parameter describing the indicated set of at least one transmission resource;
- coding into an address at least one remaining dynamic parameter from the plurality of parameters describing the indicated set of at least one transmission resource;
- and
- transmitting the address, to the secondary station, using the selected control signalling channel.
A primary station, comprising:
- at least one communication antenna;
- and
- a computer processing circuit configured to indicate a set of transmission resources from among a plurality of transmission resources including:
- signalling to a secondary station, for preconfiguring an association between a control signalling channel selected from among a plurality of control signalling channels, and a value of at least one fixed parameter describing the indicated set of transmission resources;
- coding into an address at least one remaining dynamic parameter from a plurality of parameters describing the indicated set of transmission resources;
- and
- transmitting the address to the secondary station using the selected control signalling channel.
A secondary station, comprising:
- at least one communication antenna;
- and
- a computer processing circuit configured to:
- receive, from a primary station, higher layer signalling for preconfiguring an association between a control signalling channel, selected from among a plurality of control signalling channels, and a value of at least one fixed parameter describing a set of transmission resources, and an address;
- and
- decode from the address at least one remaining dynamic parameter from a plurality of parameters describing said set of transmission resources.
A communication system comprising:
- at least one primary station comprising:
- a computer processing circuit configured to:
- indicate a set of transmission resources;
- signal to at least one secondary station, for preconfiguring an association between a control signalling channel, selected from among a plurality of control signalling channels, and a value of at least one fixed parameter describing the indicated set of transmission resources;
- code into an address at least one remaining dynamic parameter from a plurality of parameters describing said indicated set of transmission resources;
- and
- transmitting the address to the secondary station using the selected control signalling channel
- the at least one secondary station comprising:
- a computer processing circuit configured to:
- decode said indicated set of transmission resources.
A method, operable in a primary station for allocating transmission resources, said method comprising:
- preconfiguring a first fixed parameter within a plurality of parameters describing a set of transmission resources selected from a plurality of transmission resources, said first parameter being based on a control channel selected from among a plurality of control channels to be used for communication with a secondary station, wherein the set of transmission resources are used for transmission of user data,
- determining at least one dynamic second parameter from among said plurality of parameters;
- signaling said first parameter to said secondary station;
- and
- transmitting said at least one dynamic second parameter to said secondary station through said selected control channel.
