Abstract
The disclosure relates to a network node and a user device. The network node is configured to determine a resource indicator comprising a single resource allocation value that specifies a first start index and a first number of frequency resources. The first start index and the first number of frequency resources are used for allocating a first set of contiguous frequency resources within a first sub-band, and a corresponding first set of contiguous frequency resources within a second sub-band. The first sub-band and the second sub-band are non-overlapping and comprise equal number of frequency resources. The network node includes a transceiver configured to transmit a transmission grant comprising the resource indicator to the user device.
Claims23
A network node for a wireless communication system, the network node comprising:
- a processor configured to determine a resource indicator, the resource indicator comprising a single resource allocation value that specifies a first start index and a first number of frequency resources;
- and
- a transceiver configured to transmit a transmission grant comprising the resource indicator to a user device,
- wherein the first start index and the first number of frequency resources are configured to be used for allocating a first set of contiguous frequency resources within a first sub-band and a corresponding first set of contiguous frequency resources within a second sub-band, and
- wherein the first sub-band and the second sub-band are non-overlapping.
A user device for a wireless communication system, the user device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to:
- receive, from a network node, a transmission grant comprising a resource indicator, the resource indicator comprising a single allocation value that specifies a first start index and a first number of frequency resources, and
- transmit data symbols to the network node using a first set of contiguous frequency resources within a first sub-band and a corresponding first set of contiguous frequency resources within a second sub-band;
- and
- a processor configured to derive, based on the resource indicator, the first start index and the first number of frequency resources,
- wherein the first start index and the first number of frequency resources are configured to be used for allocating the first set of contiguous frequency resources within the first sub-band and the corresponding first set of contiguous frequency resources within the second sub-band, and
- wherein the first sub-band and the second sub-band are non-overlapping.
A method, comprising:
- determining a resource indicator comprising a single allocation value that specifies a first start index and a first number of frequency resources;
- and
- transmitting a transmission grant comprising the resource indicator to a user device,
- wherein the first start index and the first number of frequency resources are used for allocating a first set of contiguous frequency resources within a first sub-band and a corresponding first set of contiguous frequency resources within a second sub-band, and
- wherein the first sub-band and the second sub-band are non-overlapping.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, from a network node, a transmission grant comprising a resource indicator, the resource indicator comprising a single allocation value that specifies a first start index and a first number of frequency resources;
- deriving the first start index and the first number of frequency resources based on the resource indicator;
- and
- transmitting data symbols to the network node using a first set of contiguous frequency resources within a first sub-band and a corresponding first set of contiguous frequency resources within a second sub-band,
- wherein the first start index and the first number of frequency resources are used for allocating the first set of contiguous frequency resources within the first sub-band and the corresponding first set of contiguous frequency resources within the second sub-band, and
- wherein the first sub-band and the second sub-band are non-overlapping.
