Regional classification of resource block allocation during power boost for shaped transmission

A method, comprising:

• detecting a first indication of a base station;
• synchronizing to the base station;
• sending, to the base station, a second indication of a distance from the base station;
• receiving, from the base station, a third indication of a resource block allocation based on a plurality of resource block allocation regions and a fourth indication of a maximum power reduction value corresponding to the resource block allocation based on the second indication of the distance;
• and
• transmitting a signal in a high power boost region based on the fourth indication of the maximum power reduction value, the high power boost region comprising
• a number of contiguous resource blocks comprising a length less than 9 and greater than a ceiling function of a total number of resource blocks for a given channel bandwidth divided by 10,
• a first resource block greater than a floor function of a quotient of the total number of resource blocks divided by four subtracted by a product of the number of contiguous resource blocks and 0.75, subtracted by 3.75, and
• the first resource block is less than a floor function of product of the total number of resource blocks and 0.75 subtracted by the number of contiguous resource blocks multiplied by 0.75 and added to 1.

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• send, to a base station, a first indication of a distance from the base station;
• receive, via a receiver, a second indication of a resource block allocation from the base station for transmitting a signal, the resource block allocation corresponding to a resource block allocation region;
• transmit the signal, via a transmitter, in a high power boost region comprising
• a number of contiguous resource blocks comprising a length less than 9 and greater than a ceiling function of a total number of resource blocks for a given channel bandwidth divided by 10,
• a first resource block greater than a floor function of a quotient of the total number of resource blocks divided by four subtracted by a product of the number of contiguous resource blocks and 0.75, subtracted by 3.75, and
• the first resource block is less than a floor function of product of the total number of resource blocks and 0.75 subtracted by the number of contiguous resource blocks multiplied by 0.75 and added to 1.
