Abstract:
A system and method is disclosed for resource block-specific control signaling in a communication system. Communication data is transmitted using a transmission channel comprising a plurality of resource blocks defined by allocating time-frequency slots in a transmission resource. Resource block control information is transmitted in a “feed-forward” manner to a user end (UE) or group of UEs using channels physically mapped into scheduled resource blocks (RBs) for that user or group of users. Embodiments of the invention provide an RB-specific control channel that comprises RB control elements that are embedded within scheduled resource blocks. The invention, therefore, reduces the amount of control information that must be transmitted by common or shared control channels.

Claim (Index 15):
A non-transitory computer readable memory medium having software instructions stored thereon, the software instructions being executable by one or more processors of a wireless communication apparatus, wherein the software instructions, when executed, cause the wireless communication apparatus to:\n receive, in a first time interval, a plurality of predetermined resources blocks in a frequency band comprising a plurality of subcarriers in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal; decode a single resource block control element in a first resource block of the first time interval; and process, based on the decoded single resource block control element, resource block-specific control information for a set of resource blocks at the same frequency position as the first resource block during multiple time intervals.
