Abstract:
1. A method for mapping a system bandwidth to subbands and minibands in a base station of a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: dividing the system bandwidth into a plurality of physical resource units (PRUs); and mapping the plurality of the physical resource units to at least one subband physical resource unit (PRU wherein the mapping is based on first interval between contiguous resource units which include a predetermined number of contiguous PRUs and a second interval greater than the first interval, and is based on a greatest common divisor between a maximum number of the contiguous resource units and the first interval between the contiguous resource units, and wherein the first interval between the contiguous resource units is a roundup value of a value resulting from dividing the maximum number of the contiguous resource units by the number of the contiguous resource units to allocate to the minibands.
