Abstract

A wireless device may receive a wireless signal having a control message that indicates frequency resource information and coding information of data associated with the control message. The wireless device may determine that a control message corresponds to the wireless device and receives data indicated by the control message that corresponds to the wireless device.

Claims

1. A method performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:

receiving, by the wireless device, a wireless signal that includes a plurality of control messages, wherein each control message from the plurality of control messages points to a different message and indicates frequency resource information and coding information of data for each respective different message;

determining, by the wireless device, that a control message from the plurality of control messages corresponds to the wireless device; and

receiving, by the wireless device, the data pointed to by the control message that corresponds to the wireless device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of control messages are derived from a plurality of destination identifiers, wherein each control message from the plurality of control messages is associated with a destination identifier from the plurality of destination identifiers.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

searching a subset of the plurality of control messages for a control message associated with a destination identifier of the wireless device, wherein the subset is based on the destination identifier of the wireless device.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the wireless device has a plurality of destination identifiers and determining, by the wireless device, whether the plurality of control messages are associated with any of the plurality of destination identifiers.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein one of the plurality of destination identifiers of the wireless device is associated with the wireless device and a second of the plurality of destination identifiers of the wireless device is associated with a plurality of wireless devices.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein a plurality of the control messages are associated with a same destination identifier of the wireless device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein each control message from the plurality of control messages indicates when a message will be available for reception.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of control messages and data of the wireless device are received from a base station (BS).

9. A wireless device comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a wireless signal that includes a plurality of control messages, wherein each control message from the plurality of control messages points to a different message and indicates frequency resource information and coding information of data for each respective different message;

a processor configured to determine that a control message from the plurality of control messages corresponds to the wireless device; and

the receiver configured to receive the data pointed to by the control message that corresponds to the wireless device.

10. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein the plurality of control messages are derived from a plurality of destination identifiers, wherein each control message from the plurality of control messages is associated with a destination identifier from the plurality of destination identifiers.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 further comprising:

searching a subset of the plurality of control messages for a control message associated with a destination identifier of the wireless device, wherein the subset is based on the destination identifier of the wireless device.

12. The wireless device of claim 10, wherein the wireless device has a plurality of destination identifiers and determining, by the wireless device, whether the plurality of control messages are associated with any of the plurality of destination identifiers.

13. The wireless device of claim 12, wherein one of the plurality of destination identifiers of the wireless device is associated with the wireless device and a second of the plurality of destination identifiers of the wireless device is associated with a plurality of wireless devices.

14. The wireless device of claim 10, wherein a plurality of the control messages are associated with a same destination identifier of the wireless device.

15. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein each control message from the plurality of control messages indicates when a message will be available for reception.

16. The wireless device of claim 9 wherein the plurality of control messages and data of the wireless device are received from a base station (BS).

17. A network device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a wireless signal that includes a plurality of control messages, wherein each control message from the plurality of control messages points to a different message and indicates frequency resource information and coding information of data for each respective different message; and

circuitry configured to send the data pointed to by a control message from the plurality of control messages that corresponds to a wireless device.

18. The network device of claim 17, wherein the plurality of control messages are derived from a plurality of destination identifiers, wherein each control message from the plurality of control messages is associated with a destination identifier from the plurality of destination identifiers.

19. The network device of claim 18, wherein a first of the plurality of destination identifiers of the wireless device is associated with the wireless device and a second of the plurality of destination identifiers of the wireless device is associated with a plurality of wireless devices.

20. The network device of claim 18, wherein a plurality of the control messages are associated with a same destination identifier of the wireless device.
