Abstract:
1. A method of tessellating a subframe using maximal-sized bricks, each brick comprising a brick bandwidth (r) in units of subcarriers or physical subchannels, and a brick time duration (c) in units of symbols, the subframe comprising a plurality of (n B ) bursts having burst heights (β H,k , k=0, . . . , n B −1) in units of subcarriers or physical subchannels and burst widths (β W,k , k=0, . . . , n B −1) in units of symbols, the method comprising: computing, using a processor, r and c using equations r=GCD(β referencing bursts within the subframe using a brick-based coordinate system in which burst location and size are specified in units of bricks.
