Allocating resource units to a mobile station
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- permuting, by a superordinate station in a wireless network, physical resource units to logical resource units, the physical resource units of sequential logical resource units being noncontiguous;
in response to a plurality of mobile stations entering a cell served by the superordinate station, sending at least one allocation message allocating a block of sequential logical resource units to each of the plurality of mobile stations, each of the allocated blocks being contiguous with at least one other allocated block;
in response to a first mobile station selected from the plurality of mobile stations exiting the cell served by the superordinate station and a second mobile station selected from the plurality of mobile stations exiting the cell served by the superordinate station, de-allocating at least a first block of sequential logical resource units from the first mobile station and a second block of sequential logical resource units from the second mobile station, the first block of sequential logical resource units being noncontiguous with the second block of logical resource units; and
in response to a new mobile station entering the cell served by the superordinate station, sending at least one re-allocation message allocating the first block of sequential logical resource units and at least a portion of the second block of logical resource units to the new mobile station.

Abstract
Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to one example, a method may include permuting, by a superordinate station in a wireless network, physical resource units to logical resource units, the physical resource units of sequential logical resource units being noncontiguous. The method may also include sending at least one allocation message allocating a block of sequential logical resource units to each of a plurality of mobile stations, each of the allocated blocks being contiguous with at least one other allocated block. The method may also include de-allocating at least a first block of sequential logical resource units from a first mobile station selected from the plurality of mobile stations and a second block of sequential logical resource units from a second mobile station selected from the plurality of mobile stations, the first block of sequential logical resource units being noncontiguous with the second block of logical resource units. The method may also include sending at least one re-allocation message allocating the first block of sequential logical resource units and at least a portion of the second block of logical resource units to a new mobile station.
