Abstract:
1. A method for allocating resources to a plurality of Wireless Transmit/Receive Units (WTRUs) comprising: dividing the WTRUs into two or more semi-static groups for semi-persistent scheduling; allocating a set of resources to each of the semi-static groups, information for each set of resources being partitioned in a transport format indication (TFI) table including one or more TFIs and a resource allocation table (RAT) including a resource index, wherein the RAT further includes one or more references to one or more entries in the TFI table and at least two of the semi-static groups share the TFI table; and signaling the allocated resources associated with each respective WTRU to the respective WTRU needing the allocated resources in each group.
