PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatuses that facilitate allocating a portion of a resource block to a power-limited device for communication.SOLUTION: A power-limited device may not be capable of transmitting over an entire resource block due to power limitations; thus, a portion of the resource block can be assigned thereto, allowing allocation of at least a different portion of the resource block to at least one different device to optimize communications over the resource block. In addition, the portion of the resource block can be allocated across one or more bundled time transmit intervals (TTI) to allow effective communication of time-sensitive data, such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 |
