1. A method for assigning communication resources to share between different types of users, said method comprising:
- forming a user group, said user group comprising;
one or more first users of a first type; and
one or more second users of a second type;
assigning a plurality of resource blocks to said user group;
transmitting a group setup message to each user in said user group, wherein said group setup message includes group parameters and identification of said plurality of resource blocks;
issuing a group grant message to each user in said user group, wherein said group grant message provides group information allowing said plurality of resource blocks to be shared between said one or more first users of said first type and said one or more users of said second type.

Abstract
Sharing radio resources between multiple types of users is disclosed that form user groups including first type users and second type users. A plurality of resource blocks is assigned to the user group after which, a group setup message is transmitted to each user in the user group. This group setup message includes group parameters and identification of the resource blocks. A group grant message is also issued to each user in the user group, which provides group information allowing the resource blocks to be shared between the first and second user types.

24. A method for a data user to obtain communication resources in a wireless communication network, said method comprising:
-
receiving a group setup message at said data user identifying; a group of users sharing a set of communication resources; said set of communication resources; and a unique scrambling code for said data user; receiving an active user signal identifying said data user as an active share data user; receiving a group grant message at said active share data user, said group grant message using bitmap signaling for; identifying a first boundary of a subset of said set of communication resources allocated to said active share data user; and identifying a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for said active share data user; and using said subset of said set of communication resources by said active share data user to perform data communication. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
