Claim:
A resource allocation method, for allocating resource units for service flows in an E-MBS region of an E-MBS system, the method comprising: (a) allocating the resource units of a first service flow following the end of E-MBS MAP of the E-MBS region, wherein a width of each of the resource units on a time domain is equal to a subframe; (b) allocating the resource units of an m th service flow along with the increasing of frequency domain index, wherein m is an integer greater than or equal to 1; (c) continuing to allocate the resource units of the m th service flow from the top frequency domain index in the next time domain index when the edge of the E-MBS region in the frequency domain is reached; (d) allocating the resource units of a m+1 th service flow following the m th service flow; and (e) repeating the step (b), the step (c) and the step (d) until all service flows are allocated required resource units.
