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 8):
A base station, comprising:\n an antenna; a radio coupled to the antenna; a processor coupled to the radio; wherein the base station is configured to:\n transmit data to a first user equipment using a plurality of resource blocks within a predetermined frequency band, at least one of the plurality of resource blocks having a corresponding resource block control element embedded therein, each embedded resource block control element comprising control information for at least the resource block in which the resource block control element is embedded, wherein each embedded resource block control element is usable by the first user equipment and a second user equipment separate from the first user equipment; and \n transmit at least one control channel element specifically corresponding to the first user equipment, wherein the at least one control channel element comprises one or more resource block allocation identifiers associated with one or more resource blocks of the plurality of resource blocks.
