Abstract
Wireless broadband resource allocation indexing is generally presented. In this regard a method is introduced comprising determining a total number of allowable continuous logical resource unit (LRU) allocations for a bandwidth, removing allowable allocations to generate a set of allocations that can be indexed with fewer bits than the total number of allowable allocations, and storing an index of the set of allocations in a memory. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Claims9
A method for resource allocation in a broadband wireless network comprising:
- determining a total number of allowable logical resource unit (LRU) allocations for a bandwidth, the total number based on allowable allocation sizes, the allowable LRU allocations comprising combinations of one or more continuous LRUs within the bandwidth ranging from allocations that comprise single LRUs to an allocation comprising a maximum number of continuous LRUs;
- removing some of the allowable LRU allocations to generate a reduced set of allowable LRU allocations that can be indexed with a resource index that has with fewer bits than required for the total number of allowable LRU allocations including non-continuous allocations;
- and
- transmitting an information element (IE) that includes the resource index to allocate one or more of the LRUs of the reduced set to allocate bandwidth.
An apparatus method for resource allocation in a broadband wireless network comprising:
- radio-interface circuitry;
- and
- processing circuitry to determine a total number of allowable logical resource unit (LRU) allocations for a bandwidth, the total number based on allowable allocation sizes, the allowable LRU allocations comprising combinations of one or more continuous LRUs within the bandwidth ranging from allocations that comprise single LRUs to an allocation comprising a maximum number of continuous LRUs,
- wherein the processing circuitry is to remove some of the allowable LRU allocations to generate a reduced set of allowable LRU allocations that can be indexed with a resource index that has with fewer bits than required for the total number of allowable LRU allocations including non-continuous allocations, and
- wherein the radio-interface circuitry is to transmit an information element (IE) that includes the resource index to allocate one or more of the LRUs of the reduced set to allocate bandwidth.
