Claim 8:
9. A baseband processor, configured to:
receive downlink control information (DCI) for transmitting a transport block (TB) to a second UE;
identify a frequency resource indication value (FRIV) in the DCI;
determine, based on the FRIV:
a number of sub-channels (Lsub) for transmitting the TB;
a first starting sub-channel index x1 for a first retransmission of the TB;
a second starting sub-channel index x2 for a second retransmission of the TB;

wherein the FRIV represents a result of a predetermined function, FRIV
