APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FRAME STRUCTURE IN WIDE-BAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

An apparatus and a method for configuring a frame of a wideband wireless communication system are provided to offer a service to a terminal of a narrowband wireless communication system by maintaining compatibility with the narrowband wireless communication system. A base station generates common control information and resource allocation information to be provided to terminals providing a service(201). The base station selects the second frequency band including resource allocation information with respect to a wideband terminal(203). The base station generates the first frequency band frame including the common control information, the resource allocation information of a narrowband terminal, and the second frequency band information(205). The base station generates the second frequency band frame including the resource allocation information of the wideband terminal(207). The base station transmits the generated first and second frequency band frames to the terminals(209).
