Abstract:
1. A method of allocating radio resources in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request signal requesting allocation of radio resource for data or for a control signal; allocating an allocation unit including some of a plurality of physical frequency blocks to the user equipment (UE) by checking the request signal, wherein each of the plurality of physical frequency blocks being divided frequency band of a system frequency band and comprising at least one subcarrier in a frequency domain and at least one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol in a time domain; and transmitting block indexes of logical frequency blocks included in the allocated allocation unit and scrambling information, wherein the scrambling information indicates a mapping between the block indexes of logical frequency blocks and block indexes of physical frequency blocks, wherein the allocated allocation unit is any one of a localized allocation unit comprising physical frequency blocks contiguous in the frequency domain and a distributed allocation unit comprising physical frequency blocks distributed in the frequency domain and wherein when the request signal requests allocation of radio resource for data, the allocated allocation unit is the localized allocation unit and the block indexes of the logical frequency blocks are arranged in the same order as those of physical frequency blocks, and when the request signal requests allocation of radio resource for a control signal, the allocated allocation unit is the distributed allocation unit and the block indexes of the logical frequency blocks are mapped to indexes of physical frequency blocks according to the scrambling information and different mappings are applied to each OFDM symbol comprising the distributed allocation unit.
