Support for broadcast control header for wireless networks

摘要

Various example embodiments are disclosed herein related to broadcast control headers for wireless networks. According to an example embodiment, a method may include allocating resources for a broadcast channel for a wireless network may include determining a set of physical resource units (PRUs), each PRU including a plurality of contiguous subcarriers, selecting one or more subsets of the PRUs, each subset including a plurality of PRUs distributed across the set of PRUs, and determining a plurality of logical resource units (LRUs) from each subset of PRUs, including permutating the subcarriers independently within each subset of PRUs to obtain the plurality of LRUs for each subset of PRUs, each LRU including a plurality of distributed subcarriers.

1. A method comprising:
transmitting, via a wireless network, at least a first subframe of a first superframe including a broadcast control header (BCH), the first superframe including a plurality of subframes, the BCH including a system configuration information that describes: 1) the system configuration of all subframes of the first superframe except the first subframe of the first superframe, wherein the BCH includes system configuration information that includes a downlink (DL)/uplink (UL) ratio for subframes within the first superframe.
