Patent ID: 8780844

Claim:
A method of allocating resources for enhanced multicast broadcast service (E-MBS) data by a device in a wireless communication system in which a frequency domain includes at least one frequency partition (FP), the method comprising: determining, by the device, whether a base frequency partition (FP0) is included in the at least one frequency partition; allocating, by the device, K SB,E-MBS subbands to the base frequency partition if the device determines that the at least one frequency partition includes the base frequency partition, K SB,E-MBS being a number; allocating, by the device, the K SB,E-MBS subbands equitably among the at least one frequency partition if the device determines that the at least one frequency partition does not include the base frequency partition; and transmitting, by the device, E-MBS data through the K SB,E-MBS subbands, wherein one subband of the K SB,E-MBS subbands includes N1 subband logical resource units (SLRUs), N1 being a number, and wherein the N1 SLRUs have contiguous indices among a plurality of physical resource units (PRUs) included in the at least one frequency partition and are PRUs allocated to contiguous resource units (CRUs).
