Claim:
1. A user equipment for receiving downlink data using resource blocks in a wireless mobile communication system, the user equipment comprising: a processor configured to control an operation of the user equipment; and a radio receiver configured to: wherein: the resource allocation information indicates virtual resource block (VRB) allocations for the user equipment, indexes of the PRBs to which the downlink data are mapped are determined based on a mapping relationship between virtual resource blocks (VRBs) and the PRBs, the mapping relationship is defined as indexes of the VRBs that are mapped to the indexes of the PRBs for a number of slots included in a subframe, indexes of the PRBs for an odd-numbered slot are shifted with respect to indexes of the PRBs for an even-numbered slot based on a predetermined gap, and an index of one of the PRBs on each of the number of slots that is mapped to an index of one of the VRBs is determined by using a value of the predetermined gap and a number of the VRBs.
