ALLOCATING GROUP RESOURCES FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Group size indications may be distributed from a base station to a mobile station in the form of assignment-advanced-MAP transmit control signaling. The signaling control information may be sent to a station, such as a mobile station, using a table that indicates the size of a group based on coding rates, such as one-half and one-quarter coding rates. Waste may be controlled by determining a size based on using an unoccupied resource in a group that is adjacent to data resource for data transmission by the station. However, an unoccupied resource in a group that is not adjacent to a data resource is not used for data transmission and is, therefore, wasted.
