Systems and methods for managing frequency resource group based service transmissions

A network node, comprising:

• at least processor configured to:
• determine, for a cell, a plurality of frequency resources and a plurality of frequency resource groups, each of the plurality of frequency resource groups comprises one or more of the plurality of frequency resources, wherein each of the plurality of frequency resources is identified by at least one of a first frequency resource index and a second frequency resource index, the first frequency resource index identifies each of the plurality of frequency resources within the cell, and the second frequency resource index identifies each of the plurality of frequency resources within one of the plurality of frequency resource groups, wherein the first frequency resource index and the second frequency resource index are different;
• and
• communicate, via an interface with a wireless communication device, using an active frequency resource group of the plurality of frequency resource groups.

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• at least processor configured to:
• communicating, via an interface, with a network of a cell, using an active frequency resource group of a plurality of frequency resource groups,
• wherein each of the plurality of frequency resource groups comprises one or more of a plurality of frequency resources,
• wherein each of the plurality of frequency resources is identified by at least one of a first frequency resource index and a second frequency resource index, the first frequency resource index identifies each of the plurality of frequency resources within the cell, and the second frequency resource index identifies each of the plurality of frequency resources within one of the plurality of frequency resource groups, wherein the first frequency resource index and the second frequency resource index are different.
