Method for transmitting and receiving resource allocation information and mobile station apparatus using the same

A method for receiving resource allocation information in a Mobile Station (MS), the method comprising:

• receiving resource allocation information about a remaining region other than a region carrying a SuperFrame Header (SFH) in a predetermined channel bandwidth from a Base Station (BS);
• and
• decoding the received resource allocation information,
• wherein the remaining region is allocated as Distributed Resource Units (DRUs) or Contiguous Resource Units (CRUs), the DRUs or CRUs are allocated on a miniband basis, each miniband including one Physical Resource Unit (PRU), and the resource allocation information includes indication information indicating one of the number of CRUs, the number of DRUs, and a ratio between CRUs and DRUs.

A method for receiving resource allocation information at a Mobile Station (MS), the method comprising:

• receiving resource allocation information about a remaining region other than a region carrying a SuperFrame Header (SFH) in a predetermined channel bandwidth from a Base Station (BS);
• and
• decoding the received resource allocation information,
• wherein the remaining region is allocated as Distributed Resource Units (DRUs) and Contiguous Resource Units (CRUs), the DRUs are allocated on a miniband basis, the CRUs are allocated on a subband basis, and the resource allocation information includes information about the number or size of allocated subband CRUs and the number or size of allocated miniband DRUs.

A Mobile Station (MS) apparatus for receiving resource allocation information, the MS apparatus comprising:

• a reception module for receiving resource allocation information about a remaining region other than a region carrying a SuperFrame Header (SFH) in a predetermined channel bandwidth from a Base Station (BS);
