Abstract
This invention concerns concepts for signaling resource allocation information to a terminal that indicates to the terminal assigned resources for the terminal. The terminal can receives downlink control information (DCI), which comprises a field for indicating the resource allocation information of the terminal. This resource assignment field within the DCI has a predetermined number of bits. The terminal can determines its assigned resource allocation information from the content of the received DCI, even though the bit size of the resource allocation field in the received DCI is insufficient to represent all allowed resource allocations. According to an embodiment, the received bits that are signaled to the terminal in the DCI represent predetermined bits of the resource allocation information. All remaining one or more bits of the resource allocation information that are not included in the field of the received DCI are set to predetermined value.

20. A method of receiving resource allocation information for assigning resources to a terminal of a mobile communication system, the method being performed by the terminal and comprising the steps of:
-
receiving downlink control information (DCI), wherein said downlink control information comprises a field for indicating said resource allocation information of said terminal, said field having a predetermined number of bits; and determining said resource allocation information from said bits of said field in the received DCI;
whereinsaid predetermined number of bits of said field in the received DCI is insufficient to represent the plurality of allowed resource allocations, said bits of said field in the received DCI represent predetermined bits of said resource allocation information, and all remaining one or more bits of said resource allocation information that are not included in said field of the received DCI are set to a predetermined value. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A method of receiving resource allocation information for assigning uplink resources to a terminal of a 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) or 3GPP LTE-Advanced communication system, the method being performed by the terminal and comprising:
-
receiving downlink control information (DCI), wherein said downlink control information comprises a field for signaling said resource allocation information of said terminal, said field having a predetermined number of bits, said resource allocation information representing resource block groups (RBGs) according to a multi-cluster resource allocation in said 3GPP LTE or 3GPP LTE-A communication system;
whereinthe bit size of said field of said DCI for signaling said resource allocation information is sufficient to represent a plurality of possible uplink resource allocations by; determining the RBG size for a given number of uplink resource blocks according to;
