Dynamic allocation of communication resources in a wireless system
First Claim
1. A method of receiving information by a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving a first subframe of information by the communication device at a first time, the first subframe indicating a second subframe to be received at a second time occurring subsequently;
receiving the second subframe of information by the communication device at the second time, the second subframe including first control channel resource elements and first shared channel resource elements conveyed by a first plurality of subcarrier frequencies over a first plurality of time slots, each of the first shared channel resource elements being defined by a single time slot of the first plurality of time slots and a single subcarrier frequency of the first plurality of subcarrier frequencies of the first subframe, the wireless communication device decoding at least one of the first control channel resource elements to determine when the first control channel resource elements include a grant resource that indicates that a resource element pattern of the first shared channel resource elements includes infolination directed for the wireless communication device, the resource element pattern being of a first plurality of selectively assignable resource element patterns of the first shared channel resource elements; and
receiving a third subframe of information by the communication device at a third time, the third time being subsequent to the second time, the third subframe including second control channel resource elements and second shared channel resource elements conveyed by a second plurality of subcarrier frequencies over a second plurality of time slots, each of the second shared channel resource elements being defined by a single time slot of the second plurality of time slots and a single subcarrier frequency of the second plurality of subcarrier frequencies of the third subframe, the wireless communication device decoding at least one of the second control channel resource elements to determine when the second control channel resource elements includes a grant resource that indicates that a resource element pattern of the second shared channel resource elements includes information directed for the wireless communication device, the resource element pattern being of a second plurality of selectively assignable resource element patterns of the second shared channel resource elements;
wherein the second time and the third time are separated by a first time interval, the first time interval is greater than a duration of the second subframe and greater than a duration of the third subframe.

Abstract
A method of receiving information by a wireless communication device is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of wireless subframes at a periodic interval, wherein an interval duration of the periodic interval is greater than a duration of each of the plurality of wireless subframes. The method further includes determining for each wireless subframe of the plurality whether the wireless subframe includes a grant resource that indicates that a resource unit pattern of a plurality of selectively assignable resource unit patterns of resource units of the subframe includes information for the communication device. A method of transmitting information by the wireless communication device is also provided.
