Abstract:
1. A method for adaptively partitioning resources for use in a localized allocation of resources and a distributed allocation of resources in a downlink transmission system based on an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), the method comprising: selecting either a predefined pattern scheme or an informed map scheme according to at least one of a number of channels used for resource allocation, a data characteristic, and a channel environment variation; if the predefined pattern scheme is selected, selecting a pattern of plural predefined patterns, partitioning a scheduling area into a distributed resource allocation area and a localized resource allocation area according to the selected pattern, and transmitting a pattern index of the selected pattern to a terminal, wherein the localized resource allocation area is defined as at least one resource block where the localized allocation is used and the distributed resource allocation area is defined as at least one resource block where the distributed allocation is used, wherein the pattern index comprises a ratio of a number of blocks arranged sequentially among the localized resource allocation area to a number of blocks arranged sequentially among the distributed resource allocation area; and if the informed map scheme is selected, partitioning the scheduling area into the distributed resource allocation area and the localized resource allocation area according to an arbitrary pattern, and transmitting bitmap control information indicating information of the partitioned areas to the terminal.
