ADVANCED RESOURCE ALLOCATION SIGNALING
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- forming a resource allocation for a first system bandwidth that is larger than a second system bandwidth, where the resource allocation comprises a larger number of resource blocks than a maximum number of resource blocks associated with the second system bandwidth while maintaining a same resource block group size as would be present with the maximum number of resource blocks for the second system bandwidth, where forming comprises use of an extended parameter in a derivation of the resource allocation; and
transmitting information descriptive of the resource allocation to a mobile device.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method, apparatus and a computer readable memory medium that stores a program of computer instructions for enabling a resource allocation to be made for user equipment. The method includes forming a resource allocation for a particular system bandwidth, where the resource allocation has a larger number of resource blocks than a maximum number of resource blocks associated with the particular system bandwidth, while maintaining a same resource block group size as would be present with the maximum number of resource blocks for the particular system bandwidth. The step of forming includes the use of an extended parameter in a derivation of the resource allocation. The method further includes transmitting information descriptive of the resource allocation to user equipment. The resource allocation may be a downlink resource allocation or an uplink resource allocation.

41. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a resource allocation unit configured to form a resource allocation for a first system bandwidth that is larger than a second system bandwidth, where the resource allocation comprises a larger number of resource blocks than a maximum number of resource blocks associated with the second system bandwidth while maintaining a same resource block group size as would be present with the maximum number of resource blocks for the second system bandwidth, said resource allocation unit being further configured to use an extended parameter in a derivation of the resource allocation; and a transmitter configured to transmit information descriptive of the resource allocation to a mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (50, 53, 55)
