<p>Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate resolving resource assignment conflicts between access terminals in a wireless communication environment. A first access terminal may receive a persistent, or 'sticky' assignment of a set of resources (i.e. a permanent assignment of a resource, which means allocated for an unlimited time period), such as subcarriers. In the event that a second access terminal requires a brief resource assignment, a time-limited, or 'non-sticky' resource assignment may be granted to the second access terminal (i.e. to be assigned/allocated for a limited time period). If a resource in the non-sticky assignment is already assigned to the first access terminal via the sticky assignment, the first access terminal may receive an indication of the conflict along with information related to a duration of the non-sticky assignment, may surrender (yield, relinquish) the conflicted resource for a limited duration time, and may resume control over the conflicted resource after the termination of the non-sticky assignment.</p> |
