Abstract:
1. A method for detecting a resource indication value (RIV) indicating a start index (S) of consecutive virtual resource blocks (VRBs) allocated to a first user equipment (UE) configured to simultaneously receive information from a plurality of frequency bands and a length (L) of the consecutive VRBs, in an advanced wireless mobile communication system configured to use the plurality of frequency bands, wherein each frequency band in the plurality of frequency bands has a respective bandwidth for a conventional wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, by the first UE, the RIV through one frequency band in the plurality of frequency bands; and detecting the RIV, wherein the detected RIV indicates that no resource is allocated to the first UE, is greater than a maximum value usable as an RIV allocated to a second UE adapted for the conventional wireless communication system and adapted for receiving information from only one frequency band.
