Declarations under Rule 4.17: as to applicant's entitlement to apply for and be granted a patent (Rule 4.1700) as to the applicant's entitlement to claim the priority of the earlier application (Rule 4.17(iii)) [Continued on next page] (54) Title: RADIO RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN A NARROWBAND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (57) : Methods and apparatuses of resource allocation for wireless communica- tion are presented. In an example, a user equipment (12) may contain radio circuitry and processing circuitry such that the user equipment (12) is configured to obtain a set of multiple indices, where each index in the set of multiple indices corresponds to a dif- ferent uplink resource allocation from a set of uplink resource allocations (11) formed from twelve contiguous subcarriers. In an as- pect, the set of uplink resource allocations (11) includes an allocation of the twelve con- tiguous subcarriers, two allocations of six contiguous subcarriers, four allocations of three contiguous subcarriers, and twelve al- locations of a single subcarrier. In a further aspect, the user equipment (12) can receive 12 an index indication corresponding to an in- 4 1 dex from the set of multiple indices from the base station (10). Also, the user equipment (12) can transmit data to the base station (10) using the resource allocation corresponding to the received index indication. 11111111111111011101111111111101011111011111111011111111H1101011111111111110111111 FIG. 1 10 WO 2017/135882 Al MIDEDIM01101DERMEMOM01110111H11111110101111111011110111111 Published: — with international search report (Art. 21(3))
