Resource allocation in a wireless communication system

摘要

The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for allocating resources for wireless communication. In the method orthogonal resources are allocated for signalling within a coordination area including at least two radio service areas based on a first resource pattern. Orthogonal data communication resources are allocated within a radio service area of the coordination area based on a second resource pattern. A communication device can receive signalling indicating the allocation of the orthogonal resources for signalling within the coordination area and the allocation of orthogonal data communication resources within the radio service area, and transmit signalling and data accordingly.

1. A method comprising:
allocating, by a network device, resources for wireless communication comprising: allocating, by the network device, orthogonal resources for signaling within a coordination area comprising at least two radio cells based on a first resource pattern, wherein the resource allocation based on the first resource pattern within the coordination area comprises tying reference signal resources to a user equipment and a cell index, and requires that at least one of a data hopping pattern, a cyclic shift hopping pattern, and a base sequence group hopping pattern are configured to be a same in radio cells of the coordination area; and allocating, by the network device, orthogonal data communication resources within a radio cell of the at least two radio cells of the coordination area based on a second resource pattern, wherein orthogonality of the allocated data communication resources is ensured only within the radio cell and not over the entire coordination area, and wherein the resource allocation based on the second resource pattern follows a different allocation method than the resource allocation based on the first resource pattern.
