Indicating Contiguous Resource Allocation

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a user equipment, at least one message indicating a resource allocation for downlink, wherein the at least one message includes information comprising a resource indication value indicating an index of a starting resource of the resource allocation, and a number of contiguously allocated resources following the starting resource, and an offset value related to a first resource allocation granularity, wherein the first resource allocation granularity is different from a second resource allocation granularity;
• and
• communicating, by the user equipment, data in accordance with the starting resource and an ending resource, wherein the ending resource of the resource allocation is determined based at least on the information in the at least one message and on the second resource allocation granularity.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions for causing an apparatus to perform at least the following:

• receiving at least one message indicating a resource allocation for downlink, wherein the at least one message includes information comprising a resource indication value indicating an index of a starting resource of the resource allocation, and a number of contiguously allocated resources following the starting resource, and an offset value related to a first resource allocation granularity, wherein the first resource allocation granularity is different from a second resource allocation granularity;
• and
• communicating data in accordance with the starting resource and an ending resource, wherein the ending resource of the resource allocation is determined based at least on the information in the at least one message and on the second resource allocation granularity.
