资源块 (LTE下行链路)

资源块（LTE下行链路）是LTE下行链路分配给用户的最小单位。LTE下行链路能够分配给用户的资源包括频域资源、时域资源和空域资源，即既有频分复用，又有时分复用，还有空分复用。空域资源分配是通过MIMO实现的。资源块（resource block）是包含了12个子载波（频域）并且持续一个时隙slot（时域）的一个资源组合。一个时隙长0.5毫秒。
在0.5毫秒（一个时隙）时间内，LTE下行链路能够生成7个OFDM符号，每个符号占据12个子载波。不过资源块中OFDM符号的持续时间不完全相等，第一个OFDM符号的时间稍长（通过延长OFDM符号的循环前缀CP来实现）。资源块由资源片（resource element）组成，资源片是1个子载波（频域）并且持续一个时隙slot（时域）的资源组合。
两个时隙组成一个1毫秒的子帧（subframe），10个子帧(subframe)组成一个10毫秒的帧(frame)。帧（frame）是时域资源的最大单位。
假设某个用户的信息只占用一个资源块，LTE下行链路先将用户信息数据包串并转换成12路子数据流；每个子数据流用一个子载波进行调制，一共是12个子载波；调制过程重复7次，即产生7个OFDM符号。持续的时间是0.5毫秒；最后12路子载波承载的信息通过并串转换，在空口发送出去。
