Coordinating uplink resource allocation

A base station configured for coordinating uplink resource allocation, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to:
• generate uplink resource allocation information for one or more wireless communication devices, wherein the uplink resource allocation information comprises a starting resource block, a length in terms of contiguously allocated resource blocks, hopping bits, a subframe number and a current number of transmissions of a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU);
• send the uplink resource allocation information to one or more base stations;
• allocate uplink resources based on the uplink resource allocation information;
• and
• send an assignment to one or more wireless communication devices based on the uplink resource allocation information.

• receive uplink resource allocation information from one or more base stations, wherein the uplink resource allocation information comprises a starting resource block, a length in terms of contiguously allocated resource blocks, a resource indication value, at least a part of downlink control information (DCI), a frequency-hopping field, a number of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource blocks, a hopping offset, an uplink bandwidth configuration, and a number of sub-bands and hopping mode information;
• allocate uplink resources based on the uplink resource allocation information;
• and
• send an assignment based on the received uplink resource allocation information to one or more wireless communication devices.
