Abstract
Embodiments of a base station and method for resource allocation using localized and distributed resource blocks are generally described herein. The base station comprises processing circuitry to allocate localized resources to user stations based on receipt of channel quality information received from the user stations and to allocate distributed resource to user stations based on non-receipt of channel quality information. The base station also comprises physical layer circuitry to transmit control information on a physical channel to indicate the resources that are allocated to each scheduled user station.

2. An eNodeB arranged for resource allocation in an orthogonal-frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) network, the eNodeB comprising transceiver circuitry arranged to:
-
receive channel information from user equipments (UEs); provide signaling to the UEs to indicate whether virtual resource blocks (VRBs) of a localized type or VRBs of a distributed type are allocated to the UEs for UE scheduling, the signaling being provided at least in part based on the received channel information; and transmit control information on a channel to indicate the VRBs that are allocated to each scheduled UE. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 21)

11. A method performed by an eNodeB for resource allocation in an orthogonal-frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) network, the method comprising:
-
receiving channel information from user equipments (UEs); providing signaling to the UEs to indicate whether virtual resource blocks (VRBs) of a localized type or VRBs of a distributed type are allocated to the UEs for UE scheduling, the signaling being provided at least in part based on the received channel information; transmitting control information on a channel to indicate the VRBs that are allocated to each scheduled UE; and communicating with the UEs within the indicated VRBs using two or more antennas in accordance with a multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) technique. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A user equipment (UE) arranged to communicate in an orthogonal-frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) network, the UE comprising transceiver circuitry arranged to:
-
provide channel information to an eNodeB; receive signaling from the eNodeB to indicate whether virtual resource blocks (VRBs) of a localized type or VRBs of a distributed type are allocated to the UE for UE scheduling, the signaling being provided at least in part in response to the provided channel information; receive control information on a channel to indicate the VRBs that are allocated to the UE by the eNodeB; and communicate with the eNodeB within the scheduled VRBs using two or more antennas in accordance with a multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) technique. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
