<p>Methods and apparatus for processing a downlink (DL) subframe of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) or an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) frame are provided. By arranging the DL-MAP information elements (IEs) in a DL-MAP of the DL subframe to correspond chronologically to the arrangement of their associated data bursts in the OFDM or OFDMA frame at a base station (BS), a user terminal receiving that frame may be able to start decoding the data bursts in the DL subframe without having to wait until all of the DL-MAP IEs have been parsed and decoded. In this manner, the user terminal may decode the data bursts while simultaneously parsing a remaining portion of the DL-MAP, and the time for processing the entire frame may be reduced, thereby increasing the processing speed.</p> |
