System and method for allocating resource blocks

A method, comprising:

• receiving a first control signal transmitted using at least a first one of one or more communication resources via a first communication channel, wherein the first control signal indicates which of the one or more communication resources can be used for transmitting data via a second communication channel;
• and
• receiving the data transmitted using at least part of the at least first one of the one or more communication resources via the second communication channel in response to the first control signal indicating that the at least first one of the one or more communication resources can be used for transmitting data via the second communication channel.

A communication node, comprising:

• a transmitter configured to transmit a first control signal using at least a first one of one or more communication resources via a first communication channel, wherein the first control signal indicates which of the one or more communication resources can be used for transmitting data via a second communication channel, and
• in response to the first control signal indicating that the at least first one of the one or more communication resources can be used for transmitting data via the second communication channel, further configured to transmit the data using at least part of the at least first one of the one or more communication resources via the second communication channel.

A communication node, comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive a first control signal transmitted using at least a first one of one or more communication resources via a first communication channel, wherein the first control signal indicates which of the one or more communication resources can be used for transmitting data via a second communication channel, and receive the data transmitted using at least part of the at least first one of the one or more communication resources via the second communication channel in response to the first control signal indicating that the at least first one of the one or more communication resources can be used for transmitting data via the second communication channel.
