Method and apparatus for control signaling

A method of communication, comprising:

• receiving, signals transmitted from a first apparatus to a second apparatus, the signals having a plurality of frequency sub-bands allocated as transmission resources, a specific frequency sub-band being allocated to the second apparatus to carry data and control information to the second apparatus;
• generating digital samples in response to the received signals;
• processing the digital samples to generate symbols in the respective frequency sub-bands;
• and
• decoding the symbols in the respective frequency sub-bands to determine the specific frequency sub-band that is allocated to the second apparatus.

A method for communication, comprising:

• encoding, by a first apparatus, control information to a second apparatus with data to the second apparatus into symbols in a specific frequency sub-band that is allocated to the second apparatus;
• generating a digital stream based on the symbols in the specific frequency sub-band and symbols in other frequency sub-bands;
• and
• transmitting wireless signals in response to the digital stream.
