Abstract

A method of transmitting data packets over a plurality of dynamically allocated resource blocks in at least one or a combination of a time, code or frequency domain on a shared channel of a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of selecting a number of resource block candidates for potential transmission of data packets destined for a receiver and transmitting the data packet to the receiver using at least one allocated resource block from the selected resource block candidates. The invention also relates to a corresponding method of decoding data packets, a transmitter, receiver and communication system.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A method performed by a receiver, the method comprising:

receiving control information destined for the receiver in a resource block (RB) included in configured RB candidates, wherein the RB is a unit of radio resources for data allocation in a combination of time and frequency domains, the RB includes a control region and a separate data region that follows the control region in the time domain, and the control information is mapped in the data region and includes modulation and coding information of a data packet transmitted on a shared data channel (SDCH) to the receiver;
monitoring the configured RB candidates, the monitoring including attempting to decode the control information destined for the receiver;
and
responsive to successfully decoding the control information, obtaining the data packet corresponding to the control information.
