Abstract:
1. A method of allocating communication resources for a communication between a transmitter and a receiver in a communication system, the communication resources being divided in time periods and frequency sub-bands, the method comprising: receiving, by the transmitter, a channel quality measurement sent by the receiver; conditionally performing, by the transmitter, allocation of a first part of the communication resources (FPCR) for the receiver according to the channel quality measurement in a case that allocation of the FPCR is selected, and allocation of a second part of the communication resources (SPCR) for the receiver in a case that allocation of the FPCR is not selected, the FPCR being designated for frequency localized channels (FLC) for providing multiuser-diversity, the SPCR being designated for frequency distributed channels (FDC) for providing link-diversity, the FPCR coexisting with and being distinct from the SPCR in a time period; in the case that allocation of the FPCR is selected, informing the receiver, by the transmitter, of the FPCR being allocated for the receiver, and of an indication that the FPCR is designated for the FLC; in the case that allocation of the SPCR is selected, informing the receiver, by the transmitter, of SPCR being allocated for the receiver, and of an indication that the SPCR is designated for the FDC; in the case that allocation of the FPCR is selected, obtaining, by the receiver, the FPCR and the indication that the FPCR is designated for the FLC; and in the case that allocation of the SPCR is selected, obtaining, by the receiver, the SPCR and the indication that the SPCR is designated for the FDC.
