1. A method for communication, the method comprising:
- allocating resources based on a resource block group for resource allocation; and
applying a same precoder to all physical resource blocks within a resource block group for resource block bundling,wherein a number of resource blocks within the resource block group for resource block bundling and a number of resource blocks within a resource block group for resource allocation is 1 if a system bandwidth is less than or equal to 10 resource blocks,wherein the number of resource blocks within the resource block group for resource block bundling and the number of resource blocks within the resource block group for resource allocation is 2 if the system bandwidth is between 11 and 26 resource blocks,wherein the number of resource blocks within the resource block group for resource block bundling and the number of resource blocks within the resource block group for resource allocation is 3 if the system bandwidth is between 27 and 63 resource blocks,wherein the number of resource blocks within the resource block group for resource block bundling is 2 and the number of resource blocks within the resource block group for resource allocation is 4 if the system bandwidth is between 64 and 110 resource blocks, andtransmitting data to a mobile station using resource blocks within the resource block group for resource block bundling.

Abstract
A base station for use in a wireless network is operable to communicate with a plurality of mobile stations. The base station transmits a downlink frame to a first mobile station. The downlink frame comprises time-frequency resource elements allocated in a plurality of physical resource blocks. The base station transmits the plurality of physical resource blocks in bundles having a bundle size that is a function of the system bandwidth configuration and the base station uses the same precoder for all physical resource blocks in the same bundle. The bundle size is from one physical resource block to three physical resource blocks.
