METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ALLOCATE RESOURCES AND DETECT ALLOCATED RESOURCES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A method to detect allocated resources at a mobile station, comprising:
- receiving a first radio block in a first radio block period;
detecting an uplink allocation indicator contained in the first radio block, wherein the uplink allocation indicator does not allocate any uplink radio block in a second radio block period following immediately after the first radio block period; and
transmitting a second radio block based on the uplink allocation indicator during a third radio block period separated from the first radio block period by at least one radio block period.

Abstract
Example methods and apparatus to allocate resources and detect allocated resources in wireless communications are disclosed. A disclosed example method involves receiving a first radio block in a first radio block period and detecting an uplink allocation indicator contained in the first radio block. The uplink allocation indicator does not allocate any uplink radio block in a second radio block period following immediately after the first radio block period. The example method also involves transmitting a second radio block based on the uplink allocation indicator during a third radio block period separated from the first radio block period by at least one radio block period.
