Notification of the allocation of communication resources in a multicarrier radio communication system

摘要

Apparatus, and an associated method, for notifying a remote station of a communication resource allocation made to communicate data thereto. The allocation of communication resources is made across a plurality of radio carriers during time frames defined upon each of the carriers. A matrix representation of the resource allocation is made, and the matrix representation is included in an allocation message that is created and sent to the remote station. The apparatus, and associated method, may be used in an Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution (EDGE) communication system.
