Abstract:
1. A method in a wireless communication terminal, the method comprising: receiving, at the terminal, a radio resource allocation comprising a plurality of sub-carriers that are a subset of available sub-carriers, wherein the available sub-carriers include sub-carriers with higher and lower frequencies than a radio frequency (RF) carrier frequency of the wireless communication terminal; and transmitting, from the terminal, information on one or more of allocated sub-carriers such that the RF carrier frequency of the wireless communication terminal does not coincide with a nominal center frequency of any sub-carrier of the available sub-carriers; wherein the RF carrier frequency of the wireless communication terminal is a fraction of a sub-carrier spacing away from the nominal center frequency of the sub-carrier of the available sub-carriers; and wherein the spacing is ½.
