METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALLOCATING MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL LAYER RESOURCES IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method for grouping control information for wireless communication with mobile devices, the method comprising:
- defining at least one multicast group, each of the at least one multicast groups being defined by a multicast group ID and a list of member mobile stations; and
transmitting at least a part of the control information by multicasting to the multicast group ID.

Abstract
A method and system for allocating shareable wireless transmission resources. A resource pool is established. The resource pool is divided into a plurality of physical layer allocation units usable for wirelessly transmitting control information and traffic data. The allocation units are assigned at the media access control layer for the wireless transmission of the control information and traffic data. The system and method of the present invention also allows mobile stations to be dynamically grouped into multicast groupings to reduce system overhead resource requirements.
