METHOD FOR ALLOCATING RESOURCES IN A RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

According to the invention, a method for allocating resources in a radio communication system is proposed wherein a frequency carrier is subdivided into a number of sub carriers. The invention is characterised in that with a single information element transmitted between a base station of the radio communication system and at least one user terminal, at least two resource units (chunk,scheduling unit) are addressed.

Description

It can be concluded that the present invention provides a flexible toolbox for usage in a procedure which can configure the coding of resource mapping information in a very efficient way for a large variety of operational scenarios.

FIG. 1 shows an example based on the following assumptions: 52 chunks, 8 antennas, 50% adaptive users using 80% of the resource, on average 4 users separated by SDMA per chunk, on average 1.5 spatial multiplexing.

FIG. 2 shows a second example based on the following assumptions: 104*3 chunks, 8 antennas, 50% adaptive users using 80% of the resource, on average 2 users separated by SDMA per chunk, on average 2 spatial multiplexing.

FIG. 3 shows a third example based on the following assumptions: 104*3 chunks, 4 antennas, 30% adaptive users using 70% of the resource, on average 1 users separated by SDMA per chunk, on average 2 spatial multiplexing

Claims

1. Method for allocating resources in a radio communication system, wherein a frequency carrier is subdivided into a number of sub carriers, characterised in thatwith a single information element transmitted between a base station of the radio communication system and at least one user terminal, at least two resource units (chunk,scheduling unit) are addressed.

2. Method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one user terminal is addressed by using shortened identifications of the user terminals.

3. Radio communication system, comprising means for realising the method according to claim 1.
