Method of resource block (RB) bundling
First Claim
1. A method of evaluating information related to a channel state for resource blocks (RBs) including user equipment (UE)-specific reference signals by a UE in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving information related to a system bandwidth from a base station (BS),wherein a RB size of the system bandwidth, a size of a RB group (RBG) for resource allocation, and a size of a RBG for evaluating information related to a channel state are related as shown in Table A; and
evaluating the information related to the channel state when each RB of the RBG for evaluating the information related to the channel state comprises the UE-specific reference signals,wherein the information related to the channel state is evaluated in unit of 1 RB when the system bandwidth is smaller than or equal to 10 RBs,wherein the information related to the channel state is evaluated in unit of 1 RB when the system bandwidth is between 11 RBs and 26 RBs, andwherein the information related to the channel state is evaluated in unit of 1 RB when the system bandwidth is between 27 RBs and 63 RBs,

Abstract
A method of sizing bundled resource blocks (RBs) having at least one user equipment (UE)-specific demodulation reference signal in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the method includes: receiving configuration information related to at least one UE-specific demodulation reference signal; receiving a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) from a network, wherein the plurality of resource blocks comprises the at least one UE-specific demodulation reference signal, at least one cell-specific demodulation reference signal or data, wherein a number of the plurality of RBs is dependent on a size of a system bandwidth, the size of the system bandwidth corresponding to one of four size ranges; and processing at least one of the received plurality of RBs by bundling the plurality of RBs into RB bundles, wherein the size of each RB bundle is based on the one of the four size ranges.
