Abstract
There is disclosed a method of operating a network node in a radio access network, the method includes transmitting a resource allocation message comprising a bit field, the resource allocation message being transmitted for reception in a common search space to which a first bandwidth part with a first unit size of resource allocation is associated. The bit field allocates resources in a second bandwidth part with a second unit size of resource allocation. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.
Claims20
A method of operating a network node in a radio access network, the method comprising:
- transmitting a resource allocation message comprising a bit field, the resource allocation message being transmitted for reception in a common search space to which a first bandwidth part with a first unit size of resource allocation is associated, the bit field allocating resources in a second bandwidth part with a second unit size of resource allocation.
A network node for a radio access network, the network node being configured to:
- transmit a resource allocation message comprising a bit field, the resource allocation message being for reception in a common search space to which a first bandwidth part with a first unit size of resource allocation is associated, the bit field allocating resources in a second bandwidth part with a second unit size of resource allocation.
A method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network, the method comprising:
- receiving a resource allocation message, the resource allocation message comprising a bit field, the resource allocation message being received in a common search space to which a first bandwidth part with a first unit size of resource allocation is associated, the bit field allocating resources in a second bandwidth part with a second unit size of resource allocation;
- and
- communicating on the second bandwidth part utilising the second unit size based on the bit field.
A user equipment for a radio access network, the user equipment being configured to:
- receive a resource allocation message in a common search space to which a first bandwidth part with a first unit size of resource allocation is associated, the resource allocation message comprising a bit field, the bit field allocating resources in a second bandwidth part with a second unit size of resource allocation;
- and
- communicate on the second bandwidth part utilising the second unit size based on the bit field.
