Abstract
Disclosed are methods, apparatus and systems for resource allocation when configurable bandwidths are available. One method includes performing a first transmission using a first set of resources in a first bandwidth, and subsequently performing a second transmission using a second set of resources in a second bandwidth, where the first bandwidth is greater than the second bandwidth, where the first and second set of resources are identified by a first and second value, respectively, and where a bit representation of the first value is a zero-padded version of a bit representation of the second value on either the most significant bit (MSB) or the least significant bit (LSB).
Claims10
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- performing a first transmission using a first set of resources in a first bandwidth;
- performing, subsequent to the first transmission, a second transmission using a second set of resources in a second bandwidth;
- and
- performing, subsequent to the second transmission, a third transmission using a third set of resources in the second bandwidth;
- and
- wherein the second bandwidth is greater than the first bandwidth,
- wherein the first set of resources is identified by a first plurality of values,
- wherein the second set of resources is identified by a second plurality of values,
- wherein the third set of resources is identified by a third plurality of values, and
- wherein the third plurality of values is determined by selecting a subset of the second plurality of values based on relative sizes of the first and second set of resources.
An apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
- perform a first transmission using a first set of resources in a first bandwidth;
- perform, subsequent to the first transmission, a second transmission using a second set of resources in a second bandwidth;
- and
- perform, subsequent to the second transmission, a third transmission using a third set of resources in the second bandwidth;
- and
- wherein the second bandwidth is greater than the first bandwidth,
- wherein the first set of resources is identified by a first plurality of values,
- wherein the second set of resources is identified by a second plurality of values,
- wherein the third set of resources is identified by a third plurality of values, and
- wherein the third plurality of values is determined by a selection of a subset of the second plurality of values based on relative sizes of the first and second set of resources.
