Claim Text:
1. A receiving apparatus, comprising: a receiver which, in operation, receives allocation information indicating one or more Distributed Virtual Resource Blocks (DVRBs) with consecutive DVRB numbers, the allocation information being based on both a starting DVRB number of the DVRBs and a total number of the DVRBs, and which, in operation, receives data transmitted on Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), to which the DVRBs are mapped, wherein a difference between DVRB numbers of two DVRBs that are mapped to PRBs in a same frequency within a subframe is less than or equal to two, and two DVRBs with consecutive DVRB numbers are mapped to PRBs that are inconsecutive in a frequency domain; and circuitry which, in operation, decodes the data based on the allocation information.
