Abstract:
1. A method for configuring a valid combination set for a resource allocation bitmap at a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising: receiving a super frame header including Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) burst information indicating a HARQ burst size candidate set from a base station; receiving a group configuration map information element including control information for configuring the valid combination set from the base station; and configuring the valid combination set using the HARQ burst information and the control information, wherein the control information includes at least one of a HARQ burst size set identifier (ID) which indicates a HARQ burst size set allocated to the UE, I_sizeoffset related information, Logical Resource Unit (LRU) related information, and a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) set ID that indicates an MCS set for the UE, and wherein the configuring the valid combination set comprises: configuring a total possible combination set using the HARQ burst size set ID and the I_sizeoffset related information; configuring a first invalid combination set for removing an unusable combination set from the total possible combination set, wherein the first invalid combination set is configured by using spectral efficiency; and configuring a second invalid combination set for removing an unusable combination set from the total possible combination set, when the UE has different spectral efficiency values for the same allocation size, wherein the I_sizeoffset related information includes at least one of information associated with an I_sizeoffset ID, a minimum I_sizeoffset value, a maximum I_sizeoffset value, and an I_sizeoffset increment of the UE, and wherein the valid combination set is configured by removing the first invalid combination set and the second invalid combination set from the total possible combination set.
