資源塊 (LTE下行鏈路)

資源塊（LTE下行鏈路）是LTE下行鏈路分配給使用者的最小單位。LTE下行鏈路能夠分配給使用者的資源包括頻域資源、時域資源和空域資源，即既有頻分復用，又有時分復用，還有空分復用。空域資源分配是通過MIMO實現的。資源塊（resource block）是包含了12個子載波（頻域）並且持續一個時隙slot（時域）的一個資源組合。一個時隙長0.5毫秒。

在0.5毫秒（一個時隙）時間內，LTE下行鏈路能夠生成7個OFDM符號，每個符號占據12個子載波。不過資源塊中OFDM符號的持續時間不完全相等，第一個OFDM符號的時間稍長（通過延長OFDM符號的循環前綴CP來實現）。資源塊由資源片（resource element）組成，資源片是1個子載波（頻域）並且持續一個時隙slot（時域）的資源組合。

兩個時隙組成一個1毫秒的子幀（subframe），10個子幀(subframe)組成一個10毫秒的幀(frame)。幀（frame）是時域資源的最大單位。

假設某個使用者的資訊只占用一個資源塊，LTE下行鏈路先將使用者資訊數據包串並轉換成12路子數據流；每個子數據流用一個子載波進行調製，一共是12個子載波；調製過程重複7次，即產生7個OFDM符號。持續的時間是0.5毫秒；最後12路子載波承載的資訊通過並串轉換，在空口發送出去。
