DISTRIBUTED VIRTUAL RESOURCE BLOCK ALLOCATION FOR OFDMA

摘要

A mobile telecommunications system is described in which a base station allocates each mobile telephone a plurality of physical resource blocks by signalling data identifying a virtual resource block. The virtual resource block is mapped onto the plurality of physical resource blocks using stored mapping data. The mapping data is such that the mapped physical resource blocks are spaced over the operating bandwidth and all belong to the same resource block group subset. Application in OFDMA for the allocation of distributed virtual resource block (DVRB) to UEs and in particular to the mapping between the physical resource blocks and the DVRB.
