Resource allocation

A user equipment, comprising:

• a receiving circuit configured to receive control information which includes a first bit pattern and resource allocation information, wherein the first bit pattern shows a type of resource allocation that identifies allocation of chunks which comprises subcarriers in a sub-frame, wherein the resource allocation information comprises a resource indication value that corresponds to a starting chunk and a length measured in consecutive chunks and that is defined by at least one of expressions:
• N(P−1)+O, and
• N(N−(P−1))+(N−1−O),
• wherein N is a number of chunks in a pre-set bandwidth, O is the starting chink, and P is the length measured in consecutive chunks;
• and
• a transmission circuit configured to transmit an uplink data to a communication node.

A method in a communication node, the method comprising;

• generating control information which includes a first bit pattern and a second pattern, wherein the first bit pattern shows a type of resource allocation that identifies allocation of chunks which comprises subcarriers in a sub-frame, wherein the resource allocation information comprises a resource indication value that corresponds to a starting chunk and a length measured in consecutive chunks and that is defined by at least one of expressions:
• N(P−1)+O, and
• N(N−(P−1))+(N−1−O),
• wherein N is a number of chunks in a pre-set bandwidth, O is the starting chink, and P is the length measured in consecutive chunks;
• and
• transmitting the control information to at least one user equipment.
