Resource allocation and mapping in a wireless communication system

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• partitioning a plurality of hop-ports into multiple subzones, each subzone including a configurable number of hop-ports;
• and
• permuting the hop-ports within each subzone based on a permutation function.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for partitioning a plurality of hop-ports into multiple subzones, each subzone including a configurable number of hop-ports;
• and
• means for permuting the hop-ports within each subzone based on a permutation function.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to map a set of hop-ports to a set of subcarriers based on at least one permutation function, to identify at least one hop-port in the set of hop-ports mapped to at least one unavailable subcarrier in the set of subcarriers, and to remap the at least one hop-port to at least one available subcarrier outside the set of subcarriers;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to determine at least one zone of subcarriers usable for transmission but to be avoided, and to map a set of hop-ports to a set of subcarriers distributed across a plurality of subcarriers and avoiding the subcarriers in the at least one zone, and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.
