1. A wireless communication infrastructure entity comprising:
- a transceiver;
a processor coupled to the transceiver,the processor configured to assign a plurality of schedulable wireless communication entities to a group, each schedulable wireless communication entity assigned a position within a bit map associated with the group;
the processor configured to indicate which of the plurality of schedulable wireless communication entities assigned to the group have been assigned a radio resource based on values in the assigned positions of the bitmap;
the processor configured to indicate radio resource allocation policy information to the schedulable wireless communication entities that have been assigned a radio resource, the radio resource allocation policy information specifying how the assigned radio resources are distributed among the schedulable wireless communication entities to which the radio resources have been assigned.

Abstract
A wireless communication infrastructure entity assigns a plurality of schedulable wireless communication entities to a group wherein each entity is assigned a location within the group. The infrastructure entity indicates which of the plurality of schedulable wireless communication entities assigned to the group have been assigned a radio resource, for example in a first bitmap (510), and indicates radio resource allocation policy information (520) and indicates a weighting for each assigned wireless communication entity, for example, in a second bitmap (530), to the schedulable wireless communication entities that have been assigned a radio resource.

14. A schedulable wireless communication entity assigned to a group with a plurality of other schedulable wireless communication entities wherein each schedulable wireless communication entity is assigned a position within a bit map associated with the group and wherein the group is assigned a shared radio resource, the entity comprising:
-
a transceiver; a processor coupled to the transceiver, the entity configured to receive an indication that the entity has been assigned a radio resource, the indication is based on a value of the assigned position within the bitmap; the entity configured to receive radio resource allocation policy information indicating how the shared radio resources are distributed among the schedulable wireless communication entities to which the radio resources have been assigned. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
