First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of communication, comprising:
- selecting from a subframe two or more resource elements for control signaling, wherein the subframe includes a plurality of symbol periods and each symbol period includes a plurality of resource elements, wherein the selected two or more resource elements are concurrent resource elements included in a same symbol period; and
transmitting a resource allocation message to an access terminal, wherein the resource allocation message indicates that the selected two or more resource elements are allocated for control signaling,wherein the selected two or more resource elements are resource elements of a shared communication medium shared by the access terminal operating in a first radio access technology (RAT) and by at least one other device operating in a second RAT different from the first RAT.
