User Assignment of Resource Blocks in a Preamble

摘要

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing an efficient way to assign resource blocks to user receiver devices in a wireless communications protocol. For example, the method can receive a frame for a wireless communications protocol. The method can also extract a unique value from a tone mapping field in a preamble of the frame. The method can also look up a resource block allocation for a portion of the tone space in a lookup table using the unique value. Further, the method can extract an assignment field from the preamble based on the determined resource block allocation. The method can also determine an assigned resource block number based on the assignment field. The method can also assign a resource block corresponding to the assigned resource block number to a user receiver device.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for assigning a resource block to a receiver device for a wireless communications protocol, comprising:
receiving, by at least one processor, a preamble of a frame corresponding to the wireless communications protocol, wherein the preamble comprises a tone mapping field, a user identification field, and an assignment field; determining, by the at least one processor, a resource block allocation based at least in part on the tone mapping field; extracting, by the at least one processor, the assignment field from the preamble based at least in part on the resource block allocation, determining, by the at least one processor, an assigned resource block number based at least in part on the assignment field; and assigning, by the at least one processor, a resource block corresponding to the assigned resource block number to a receiver device, wherein the receiver device corresponds to the user identification field.
