Title: Systems and methods for allocation of wireless resources
Inventor: ROY RON
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2016-11-04
Abstract: A method to allocate wireless resources for a wireless device such as a Machine Type Communications (MTC) device in a LTE network. The cell bandwidth is segmented into a plurality of sets of resource blocks DA0/DA1, each group of resource blocks comprising an integer number n of consecutive resource blocks in the frequency domain. The allocation indication comprises an indication of allocated resource blocks within one of the sets of resource blocks and an identification of the allocated set. Each set may have a maximum size of 25 resource blocks and the size may vary based upon the total bandwidth available. The indication of the set may be indexed by an offset in terms of numbers of sets from a reference set. The resource blocks within the set may have a localised contiguous allocation or a distributed allocation. The allocation indication may also indicate whether frequency hopping is enabled between sets.
