US 2021/0345263 A1 · METHODS FOR FLEXIBLE RESOURCE USAGE

Abstract

A method and system for flexible resource control for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is disclosed. The WTRU may monitor a first control channel region and receive a first control channel transmission in the first control region indicating boundaries of a plurality of numerology blocks of a carrier. The WTRU may then receive a second control channel transmission in a second control channel of a second control region, wherein the second control channel transmission indicates one or more numerology parameters for at least one of the plurality of numerology blocks. The WTRU may then transmit or receive data based on the one or more numerology parameters of the one or more numerology blocks.

Claims14

Dependent claims

A method implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

receiving a downlink control transmission in a first bandwidth portion of a cell bandwidth, wherein the downlink control transmission includes downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes resource block allocation information, wherein a size of the resource block allocation information is based on a number of resource blocks of the first bandwidth portion;
and
receiving a data transmission in a set of resource blocks of a second bandwidth portion of the cell, wherein the second bandwidth portion is determined from the resource block allocation information, wherein the set of resource blocks is determined by scaling a number of resource blocks by a value greater than one based on a bandwidth of the second bandwidth portion, wherein the second bandwidth portion is larger than the first bandwidth portion.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
