Abstract
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, there is at least a method, apparatus, and computer program product to perform an over-provisioning of a radio resource including a periodic channel quality indicator resource in a predetermined way, and an allocating of the radio resource in such a manner that at least one of an effective system bandwidth is reduced and out-of-band emissions related to the allocated radio resource are taken into account.
Claims27
A method comprising:
- over dimensioning a radio resource comprising a periodic channel quality indicator resource;
- and
- allocating the over dimensioned radio resource, where the allocating comprises a reduction of an effective system bandwidth by at least one of leaving at least one pre-determined radio resource unused and by blanking at least one pre-determined radio resource.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, where the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least:
- over-dimension a radio resource comprising a periodic channel quality indicator resource;
- and
- allocate the over-dimensioned radio resource, where the allocating comprises a reduction of an effective system bandwidth by at least one of leaving at least one pre-determined radio resource unused and by blanking at least one pre-determined radio resource.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for over-dimensioning a radio resource comprising a periodic channel quality indicator resource in a predetermined way;
- and
- means for allocating the over-dimensioned radio resource where the allocating comprises a reduction of an effective system bandwidth by at least one of leaving at least one pre-determined radio resource unused and by blanking at least one pre-determined radio resource.
