Apparatus and method for allocating resources in a single carrier-frequency division multiple access system

A method for receiving data by a Node B in a communication system using Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), the method comprising:

• transmitting resource information to a User Equipment (UE);
• determining a resource used for receiving the data from the UE;
• receiving the data through the determined resource;
• and
• decoding the data,
• wherein the resource used for receiving the data from the UE is determined according to a hopping parameter and a mirroring parameter,
• wherein the mirroring parameter is determined based on a random sequence for a cell, and
• wherein hopping and mirroring are performed at a slot.

An apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) for transmitting data to a Node B in a communication system using Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), the apparatus comprising:

• a data transmission controller for receiving resource information from the Node B, determining a hopping parameter, determining a mirroring parameter using a random sequence for a cell, and determining a resource for data transmission based on the received resource information;
• and
• a mapper for mapping the data to the resource and transmitting the data to the Node B,
• wherein the data transmission controller determines hopping and mirroring at a slot.

An apparatus of a Node B for receiving data from User Equipments (UEs) in a communication system using Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), the apparatus comprising:

• a scheduler for allocating resources to the UEs and determining resources used for receiving the data from the UEs;
• a demapper for demapping the data received through the resources from the UEs;
• and
• a decoder for decoding the data,
• wherein the scheduler determines the resources used for receiving the data according to a hopping parameter and a mirroring parameter,
• wherein the mirroring parameter is determined based on a random sequence for a cell, and
• wherein the scheduler determines hopping and mirroring at a slot.
