Abstract:
1. A method of communicating data between a mobile communication device and a base station, wherein the data is communicated using a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) symbols, the method comprising: receiving resource allocation information; and transmitting the data according to the resource allocation information, wherein the resource allocation is used to indicate one or more tiles in a first set of OFDMA symbols, the one or more tiles being related to an IEEE802.16e system or an IEEE802.16m system, wherein, within the first set of OFDMA symbols, one or more Partial Usage of Sub-Channels (PUSC) sub-channels of the IEEE802.16e system and one or more Distributed Resource Units (DRUs) of the IEEE802.16m system are frequency division multiplexed, wherein each PUSC sub-channel is based on a tile of X wherein each DRU is based on a tile of X wherein X wherein the first set of OFDMA symbols consist of 6 OFDMA symbols.
