Method and apparatus for conveying resource assignment for multiple system bandwidths
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- generating a control message for a user equipment (UE);
setting a resource allocation field of the control message based on a system bandwidth selected for the UE from among a plurality of system bandwidths, the resource allocation field comprising an indication of resources assigned to the UE for the selected system bandwidth;
sending the control message to the UE; and
communicating with the UE on the resources assigned to the UE,wherein the plurality of system bandwidths is associated with a same size but different interpretations of the resource allocation field for a particular format of the control message.

Abstract
Techniques for supporting communication with user equipment (UEs) of different types on a plurality of system bandwidths are described. UEs of each type may operate on one or more available system bandwidths. Resources assigned to a UE may be conveyed by a resource allocation field of a control message sent to the UE. The resource allocation field may have different configurations (e.g., different sizes and/or interpretations) for different system bandwidths. In one design, the resource allocation field and the control message sent to the UE have different sizes for the plurality of system bandwidths. A base station may determine the size of the resource allocation field based on a system bandwidth selected for the UE. In another design, the resource allocation field may have a same size but different interpretations (e.g., different resource mappings) for the plurality of system bandwidths.
