Patent ID: 8411660

Claim:
A method for allocating resources in a wireless communication system using Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), the method comprising: dividing, by a base station, entire frequency resources into sub-bands each having at least one sub-channel, dividing slots into a slot used for Wide-Band Hopped Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (WBH-HARQ) and a slot used for Sub-Band Hopped Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (SBH-HARQ), and determining at least one slot used for the SBH-HARQ and at least one slot used for the WBH-HARQ as an allocated resource; and providing, by the base station, slot information as an allocated resource to mobile stations, wherein a hopping sequence for the WBH-HARQ and the SBH-HARQ is defined based on a predetermined global hopping sequence and a predetermined local hopping sequence, and wherein the global hopping sequence represents a rule in which mapping of a particular logical channel changes from a physical channel in a particular sub-band to a physical channel in a same or different sub-band with the passage of time, and the local hopping sequence represents a mapping rule between a logical resource and a physical channel according to time in local hopping.
