1-20. (canceled)
A non-transitory, computer accessible memory medium storing program instructions executable by a processor to:
- transmit a control segment for assigning resources for communication of data in a wireless network,
- wherein the control segment includes an index mapped to information indicating a number of partitions of a frame to enable determination of the assigned resources.
A mobile station, comprising:
- wireless communication circuitry, configured to perform wireless communication;
- and
- processing hardware coupled to the wireless communication circuitry, wherein the processing hardware is configured to operate with the wireless communication circuitry to:
- receive a control segment having a portion that is transmitted by a base station, wherein the portion includes an index;
- and
- use the index to map to information that indicates a number of partitions of a frame to enable the mobile station to determine assignment of resources by the base station for downlink and uplink communications.
