Abstract:
1. A method of performing channelization in a wireless communication network, the wireless communication network including at least one base station that is communicatively coupled to at least one mobile terminal, the method comprising: dividing a bandwidth of the wireless communication network into a plurality of zones at the base station; forming resource blocks at the base station to receive data symbols transmitted in the wireless communication network, wherein each resource block has a pilot design comprising a pilot symbol density and a pilot symbol pattern; combining a plurality of resource blocks at the base station to form a physical basic channel unit, wherein the pilot symbol density and the pilot symbol pattern are based on a number of resource blocks combined to form the physical basic channel unit; allocating the physical basic channel unit to one of the plurality of zones at the base station; performing a permutation on the physical basic channel unit to form a logical basic channel unit; providing a channel to communicatively couple the base station and the at least one mobile terminal; and receiving at the base station, from the at least one mobile terminal, via the channel, a message requesting access to the logical basic channel unit to transmit data.
