Claim Text:
1. A method for determining resources available for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions from a base station, comprising: identifying resources allocated for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmissions from a base station (BS); receiving a PDCCH transmission assigning resources for a PDSCH from the BS; and determining the resources available for the PDSCH transmission based on at least one identified resource allocated for the PDCCH transmission and resources assigned in the PDCCH transmission for PDSCH, wherein the determined resources include a portion of the resources allocated for PDCCH transmissions, and wherein the determining comprises determining that the resources available for the PDSCH transmission includes a second physical resource block (PRB) of a PRB pair in a second time slot if the resources assigned in the PDCCH transmission overlap with a first PRB of the same pair allocated for the PDCCH transmission.
