Determination Of Frequency Resources For Wireless Communication Devices

A wireless device for determining a frequency resource on which to operate in a first wireless communication system, the wireless device comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the wireless device is operative to:
• determine whether a parameter is received via dedicated control signaling in the first wireless communication system, wherein a value of the parameter indicates one or more frequency resources in which the first wireless communication system operates;
• and
• responsive to determining that the parameter is received via the dedicated control signaling in the first wireless communication system, configure the wireless device to operate on a frequency resource whose location is defined based on the parameter received via such dedicated control signaling, even if the wireless device also receives the same parameter via common signaling that is transmitted to multiple wireless devices in the first wireless communication system.

A network node for determining a frequency resource for a wireless device to operate in a first wireless communication system, the network node comprsing:

• processing circuitry;
• memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the network node is operative to:
• generate dedicated control signaling for the wireless device in the first wireless communication system, wherein the dedicated control signaling includes a parameter, with the parameter being transmitted to the wireless device via the dedicated control signaling to indicate to the wireless device to configure itself to operate on a frequency resource whose location is defined based on the parameter received via the dedicated control signaling, even if such wireless device also receives the same parameter via common signaling;
• and
• transmit the dedicated control signaling to the wireless device in the first wireless communication system.
