Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method for assigning physical resource blocks (PRBs) based on available bandwidth, the method comprising:
selecting a first segment of a spectrum available for wireless communication;
determining a first amount of bandwidth and a second amount of bandwidth;
determining a first standardized bandwidth that is greater than the first amount of bandwidth;
determining a second standardized bandwidth that is greater than the second amount of bandwidth;
computing a first bandwidth differential that is a difference between the first standardized bandwidth and the first amount of bandwidth;
computing a second bandwidth differential that is a difference between the second standardized bandwidth and the second amount of bandwidth;
determining that the first bandwidth differential and second bandwidth differential are part of a second segment not available for wireless communication;
assigning PRBs corresponding to the first amount of bandwidth without assigning PRBs corresponding to the first bandwidth differential;
assigning PRBs corresponding to the second amount of bandwidth without assigning PRBs corresponding to the second bandwidth differential;
aggregating the first amount and the second amount of bandwidth, wherein the first amount and the second amount of bandwidth are noncontiguous portions of bandwidth.
