Frequency hopping
First Claim
1. A communications node operable to communicate with another communications node, the communications node comprising:
- a transceiver circuit configured to receive, from the another communications node, information which is related to resource allocation; and
a processor configured to determine at least one communication resource based on a first value and a second value;
wherein the transceiver circuit is further configured to transmit uplink data to the another communications node using the at least one communication resource;
wherein the first value is obtained from the information; and
wherein the second value is determined based on a frequency hopping function multiplied by a size of a sub-band.

Abstract
A communications node operable to communicate with another communications node over a communications channel having a plurality of frequency resources, the communications node includes data defining a division of the communications channel into a plurality of contiguous sub-bands each having N frequency resources, wherein each frequency resource in a sub-band has a corresponding frequency resource in each of the other sub-bands, data defining an initial allocation of the frequency resources, a resource determination module operable to apply a frequency shift to the initially allocated frequency resources in accordance with a frequency hopping sequence to determine frequency resources to use for communicating information with the other communications node, wherein the frequency shift applied moves the initially allocated frequency resources to corresponding frequency resources in another sub-band, a transceiver for communicating information with the other communications node using the determined frequency resource.
