在無線通信中進行資源分配的裝置及方法Apparatus and method for resource allocation in wireless communication 【相關申請案】[related application]

本申請案基於並主張2010年2月9日提出申請的美國臨時專利申請案第61/302,706號的優先權，該美國臨時專利申請案的全部內容以引用的方式併入本文中。The present application is based on and claims the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit.

本揭露是有關於一種在無線通信中進行資源分配的裝置及方法。The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for resource allocation in wireless communication.

未來的無線通信期望以高的頻譜效率及高的移動性進行寬頻傳輸。有望實現此種寬頻傳輸的技術包括正交分頻多工(orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing，以下稱OFDM)技術。Future wireless communications are expected to be transmitted over broadband with high spectral efficiency and high mobility. Techniques for achieving such broadband transmission include orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (hereinafter referred to as OFDM) technology.

傳統基於OFDM的通信系統使用多個緊密相間的正交副載波(closely-spaced orthogonal subcarriers)來載送數據。資料可分配在多個平行的子通道(subchannels)上，其中一個子通道用於每一個副載波。可使用傳統的調變方案(例如正交調幅，quadrature amplitude modulation)以相對低的符號率(symbol rate)來調變每一副載波。另外，可在發送器側上(例如在基地台處)對表示資料的OFDM符號執行快速傅利葉逆轉換(inverse fast Fourier transform，IFFT)，並且可在接收器側上(例如在移動台處)執行快速傅利葉轉換(fast Fourier transform，FFT)來恢復OFDM符號。Traditional OFDM-based communication systems use a plurality of closely-spaced orthogonal subcarriers to carry data. The data can be allocated on multiple parallel subchannels, one of which is used for each subcarrier. A conventional modulation scheme (e.g., quadrature amplitude modulation) can be used to modulate each subcarrier at a relatively low symbol rate. In addition, an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) may be performed on the transmitter side (eg, at the base station) for the OFDM symbols representing the data, and may be performed on the receiver side (eg, at the mobile station) A fast Fourier transform (FFT) is used to recover the OFDM symbols.

傳統上，基地台分配可用資源(例如時間及頻率資源)，以供移動台從基地台接收資料或向基地台傳送資料。基地台還使用控制通道(control channel)來向移動台指示所分配的資源。Traditionally, base stations have allocated available resources (such as time and frequency resources) for mobile stations to receive data from base stations or to transmit data to base stations. The base station also uses a control channel to indicate the allocated resources to the mobile station.

可用資源可包括多個資源單元(resource unit，以下稱RU)。RU通常包括第一多個連續副載波頻率以及對應於各個OFDM符號的第二多個連續時間，並且RU是用於進行資源分配的基本單位。例如，在IEEE 802.16標準中，如果通信系統具有5-MHz的帶寬，則可使用24個RU來執行資源分配；如果通信系統具有10-MHz的帶寬，則可使用48個RU來執行資源分配；並且如果通信系統具有20-MHz的帶寬，則可使用96個RU來執行資源分配。The available resources may include multiple resource units (hereinafter referred to as RUs). The RU typically includes a first plurality of consecutive subcarrier frequencies and a second plurality of consecutive times corresponding to respective OFDM symbols, and the RU is a basic unit for resource allocation. For example, in the IEEE 802.16 standard, if a communication system has a 5-MHz bandwidth, 24 RUs can be used to perform resource allocation; if the communication system has a 10-MHz bandwidth, 48 RUs can be used to perform resource allocation; And if the communication system has a 20-MHz bandwidth, 96 RUs can be used to perform resource allocation.

基地台可將可用資源劃分成多個子頻帶(subband)以及多個小頻帶(miniband)以減少回授開銷(feedback overhead)，其中每一子頻帶包括多個RU，而每一小頻帶包括例如一個RU。通常，由於子頻帶提供在頻率上連續的RU分配，因而子頻帶適用於頻率選擇性分配(frequency selective allocation)；並且由於小頻帶在頻率上是不連續的(permuted)，因而小頻帶適用於頻率多樣化分配(frequency diverse allocation)。The base station may divide the available resources into a plurality of subbands and a plurality of minibands to reduce a feedback overhead, wherein each subband includes a plurality of RUs, and each of the small bands includes, for example, one RU. In general, since subbands provide continuous RU allocation in frequency, subbands are suitable for frequency selective allocation; and since smallbands are permuted in frequency, smallbands are suitable for frequencies. Frequency diverse allocation.

圖1顯示一種使基地台將可用資源劃分成多個子頻帶102的傳統方法100。根據方法100，基地台將可用資源劃分成所述多個子頻帶102，其中每一子頻帶102包括四個連續RU。FIG. 1 shows a conventional method 100 for a base station to divide available resources into a plurality of sub-bands 102. According to method 100, the base station divides the available resources into the plurality of sub-bands 102, wherein each sub-band 102 includes four consecutive RUs.

圖2顯示一種使基地台為多個移動台(例如MS0 、MS1 、...、及MS7 )執行資源分配的傳統方法200。基地台可將可用資源劃分成多個子頻帶204以及多個小頻帶206，所述可用資源包括多個RU(在本文中稱為實體RU(physical RU,PRU)202)，其中每一RU在圖2中均由小方塊表示。每一子頻帶204可包括多個連續的PRU(例如四個連續的PRU)，並且，每一小頻帶206可包括一個PRU。2 shows a conventional method 200 for a base station to perform resource allocation for a plurality of mobile stations (e.g., MS 0 , MS 1 , ..., and MS 7 ). The base station may divide the available resources into a plurality of sub-bands 204 and a plurality of small frequency bands 206, the available resources including a plurality of RUs (referred to herein as physical RUs (PRUs) 202), wherein each RU is in the map 2 are represented by small squares. Each sub-band 204 can include multiple consecutive PRUs (eg, four consecutive PRUs), and each small frequency band 206 can include one PRU.

基地台還可將子頻帶204中的PRU 202分組成子頻帶組(subband group)。子頻帶組中的PRU 202也稱為連續資源單元(continuous resource unit，CRU)208，這是因為它們在局部化資源分配中是連續的。基地台還可將小頻帶206中的PRU 202分組成小頻帶組並對這些PRU執行排列。小頻帶組中經過排列的PRU也稱為分散式資源單元(distributed resource unit，DRU)210，這是因為它們分散于各個分散式資源分配中。The base station may also group the PRUs 202 in the sub-band 204 into subband groups. PRUs 202 in subband groups are also referred to as continuous resource units (CRUs) 208 because they are contiguous in localized resource allocation. The base station may also group the PRUs 202 in the small frequency band 206 into small frequency band groups and perform alignment on these PRUs. The aligned PRUs in the small band group are also referred to as distributed resource units (DRUs) 210 because they are dispersed among the various decentralized resource allocations.

CRU 208及DRU 210形成邏輯資源單元(logic resource unit，LRU)212。基地台可根據各個LRU或根據整個子頻帶而對每一移動台執行資源分配。例如，基地台可向移動台(例如MS0 、MS1 、MS2 、MS4 、MS5 、MS6 或MS7 )分配各個LRU。用於對應移動台的這些LRU可由基本分配A-MAP資訊元素(information element，IE)來指示。再例如，基地台可向移動台(例如MS3 )分配一個或多個子頻帶。這些子頻帶可由子頻帶分配A-MAP資訊元素(IE)來指示。基本分配A-MAP IE及子頻帶分配A-MAP IE是位於A-MAP區域中，該A-MAP區域通常由前幾個DRU組成。CRU 208 and DRU 210 form a logical resource unit (LRU) 212. The base station may perform resource allocation for each mobile station according to each LRU or according to the entire sub-band. For example, the base station can assign individual LRUs to mobile stations (e.g., MS 0 , MS 1 , MS 2 , MS 4 , MS 5 , MS 6, or MS 7 ). These LRUs for the corresponding mobile station may be indicated by a basic allocation A-MAP information element (IE). As another example, the base station can allocate one or more sub-bands to the mobile station (e.g., MS 3 ). These subbands may be indicated by subband allocation A-MAP information elements (IEs). The basic allocation A-MAP IE and the sub-band allocation A-MAP IE are located in the A-MAP area, which usually consists of the first few DRUs.

此外，例如，MS3 可能只需以相對低的資料傳輸速率來執行資料傳輸，例如當運行網路電話(Voice over Internet Protocol，VoIP)應用程式或遊戲應用程式時。因此，使基地台向MS3 分配整個子頻帶可能效率偏低。In addition, for example, MS 3 may only need to perform data transfer at a relatively low data transfer rate, such as when running a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) application or a gaming application. Therefore, it may be inefficient for the base station to allocate the entire sub-band to the MS 3 .

Communication system 300 includes a base station 302 and one or more mobile stations (e.g., mobile stations 304) located in cells 306 covered by base station 302. . The base station 302 and the mobile station can communicate in accordance with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) techniques. In addition, the communication system 300 can operate according to different wireless communication standards, including, for example, the IEEE 802.16 series of standards, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard, and the high-speed packet access (HSPA). Standard, Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards, etc.

在實例性實施例中，基地台302分配可用資源(例如時間及頻率資源)，以供通信系統300中的移動台從基地台302接收資料或向基地台302傳送資料。基地台302還可使用控制通道來向移動台指示(indicate)所分配的資源。In an exemplary embodiment, base station 302 allocates available resources (e.g., time and frequency resources) for mobile stations in communication system 300 to receive data from base station 302 or to transmit data to base station 302. The base station 302 can also use the control channel to indicate to the mobile station the allocated resources.

在實例性實施例中，可用資源可包括多個資源單元(resource unit，以下稱RU)。RU通常包括第一多個連續副載波頻率以及對應於各個OFDM符號的第二多個連續時間，並且RU是用於進行資源分配的基本單位。基地台302可將可用資源劃分成多個子頻帶(subband)及/或多個小頻帶(miniband)，其中每一子頻帶包括多個RU，每一小頻帶則包括例如一個RU。In an example embodiment, the available resources may include a plurality of resource units (hereinafter referred to as RUs). The RU typically includes a first plurality of consecutive subcarrier frequencies and a second plurality of consecutive times corresponding to respective OFDM symbols, and the RU is a basic unit for resource allocation. The base station 302 can divide the available resources into a plurality of subbands and/or a plurality of minibands, wherein each subband includes a plurality of RUs, and each of the small bands includes, for example, one RU.

在實例性實施例中，基地台302用以決定(determining)所要分配的子頻帶的數目，並向通信系統300中的任一移動台(例如移動台304)分配一或多個子頻帶。每一所分配的子頻帶均為被完全分配給移動台304的子頻帶或被局部分配給移動台304的子頻帶。對於被完全分配的子頻帶，基地台302會將所述子頻帶中的所有RU分配給移動台304。對於被局部分配的子頻帶，基地台302則將所述子頻帶的一部分(即該子頻帶中的一或多個RU而不是全部RU)分配給移動台304。In an exemplary embodiment, base station 302 is operative to determine the number of sub-bands to allocate and assign one or more sub-bands to any of the mobile stations (e.g., mobile station 304) in communication system 300. Each of the allocated sub-bands is a sub-band that is fully allocated to the mobile station 304 or a sub-band that is locally allocated to the mobile station 304. For a fully allocated sub-band, base station 302 will assign all RUs in the sub-band to mobile station 304. For the sub-bands that are locally allocated, the base station 302 then allocates a portion of the sub-bands (i.e., one or more RUs in the sub-band instead of all of the RUs) to the mobile station 304.

例如，當基地台302將第一子頻帶及第二子頻帶分配給移動台304時，基地台302可將第一子頻帶中的所有RU以及第二子頻帶中的一或多個RU而不是全部RU分配給移動台304。因此，第一子頻帶是被完全分配給移動台304的子頻帶，而第二子頻帶是被局部分配給移動台304的子頻帶。For example, when the base station 302 assigns the first sub-band and the second sub-band to the mobile station 304, the base station 302 can place all of the RUs in the first sub-band and one or more RUs in the second sub-band instead of All RUs are assigned to the mobile station 304. Thus, the first sub-band is a sub-band that is fully allocated to the mobile station 304, and the second sub-band is a sub-band that is locally allocated to the mobile station 304.

在實例性實施例中，基地台302用以通過指示一或多個子頻帶而向移動台304指示所分配的資源，其中每一子頻帶均為被完全分配給移動台304的子頻帶或被局部分配給移動台304的子頻帶。基地台302還用以使用多個預定資源分配樣型(resource allocation pattern)來指示將被局部分配的子頻帶中的哪一(哪些)RU分配給移動台304，其中每一預定資源分配樣型均對應於子頻帶中的特定RU(specific resource unit)或特定RU組合(specific combination of resource units)。In an exemplary embodiment, base station 302 is configured to indicate to the mobile station 304 the allocated resources by indicating one or more sub-bands, each sub-band being a sub-band or being fully assigned to mobile station 304. The sub-band allocated to the mobile station 304 is partially allocated. The base station 302 is further configured to use a plurality of predetermined resource allocation patterns to indicate which of the sub-bands to be locally allocated is assigned to the mobile station 304, wherein each predetermined resource allocation pattern Each corresponds to a specific resource unit or a specific combination of resource units in a sub-band.

One (s) of the RUs are assigned to the mobile station 304 (Fig. 3). In the exemplary embodiment, the sub-bands 402 include a first RU 402-1, a second RU 402-2, a third RU 402-3, and a fourth RU 402-4, respectively (represented by small squares in FIG. 4, respectively And the predetermined resource allocation patterns 400 may include a first resource allocation pattern 400-1, a second resource allocation pattern 400-2, a third resource allocation pattern 400-3, and a fourth resource allocation pattern 400, respectively. -4.

在實例性實施例中，資源分配樣型400-1、400-2、400-3及400-4中的每一個均對應於子頻帶402中的特定RU或特定RU組合(在每一資源分配樣型中均由「X」表示)，並且指示該特定RU或該特定RU組合被分配給移動台304。例如，第一資源分配樣型400-1可對應於第一RU 402-1，並且指示第一RU 402-1被分配給移動台304。再例如，第二資源分配樣型400-2可對應於第一RU 402-1及第二RU 402-2，並且指示第一RU 402-1及第二RU 402-2被分配給移動台304。還例如，第三資源分配樣型400-3可對應於第三RU 402-3及第四RU 402-4，並且指示第三RU 402-3及第四RU 402-4被分配給移動台304。作為另一實例，第四資源分配樣型400-4可對應於第二RU 402-2、第三RU 402-3及第四RU 402-4，並且指示第二RU 402-2、第三RU 402-3及第四RU 402-4被分配給移動台304。In an exemplary embodiment, each of the resource allocation patterns 400-1, 400-2, 400-3, and 400-4 corresponds to a particular RU or a particular RU combination in subband 402 (at each resource allocation) Each of the samples is represented by an "X" and indicates that the particular RU or the particular RU combination is assigned to the mobile station 304. For example, the first resource allocation pattern 400-1 may correspond to the first RU 402-1 and indicate that the first RU 402-1 is assigned to the mobile station 304. For another example, the second resource allocation pattern 400-2 may correspond to the first RU 402-1 and the second RU 402-2, and indicate that the first RU 402-1 and the second RU 402-2 are allocated to the mobile station 304. . Also for example, the third resource allocation pattern 400-3 may correspond to the third RU 402-3 and the fourth RU 402-4, and instruct the third RU 402-3 and the fourth RU 402-4 to be assigned to the mobile station 304. . As another example, the fourth resource allocation pattern 400-4 may correspond to the second RU 402-2, the third RU 402-3, and the fourth RU 402-4, and indicate the second RU 402-2, the third RU 402-3 and fourth RU 402-4 are assigned to mobile station 304.

在實例性實施例中，所述預定資源分配樣型中的某些預定資源分配樣型可不重疊地覆蓋(covering)子頻帶中的所有RU。例如，第一資源分配樣型400-1及第四資源分配樣型400-4不重疊地覆蓋子頻帶402中的所有RU。再例如，第二資源分配樣型400-2及第三資源分配樣型400-3不重疊地覆蓋子頻帶402中的所有RU。In an example embodiment, some of the predetermined resource allocation patterns in the predetermined resource allocation pattern may cover all RUs in the sub-band without overlapping. For example, the first resource allocation pattern 400-1 and the fourth resource allocation pattern 400-4 do not overlap all of the RUs in the sub-band 402. For another example, the second resource allocation pattern 400-2 and the third resource allocation pattern 400-3 do not overlap all of the RUs in the sub-band 402.

在實例性實施例中，可任意地指定兩個位元來表示資源分配樣型400-1、400-2、400-3及400-4。例如，可使用「00」、「01」、「10」及「11」來分別表示資源分配樣型400-1、400-2、400-3及400-4。In an exemplary embodiment, two bits may be arbitrarily designated to represent resource allocation patterns 400-1, 400-2, 400-3, and 400-4. For example, "00", "01", "10", and "11" can be used to indicate resource allocation patterns 400-1, 400-2, 400-3, and 400-4, respectively.

圖5顯示根據實例性實施例的一種用於預先決定多個資源分配樣型(例如預定資源分配樣型400(圖4))的方法500。在該實例性實施例中，子頻帶包括四個RU，並且可被第一移動台及第二移動台共用。在另一實例性實施例中，子頻帶可被多達四個移動台共用。被共用的子頻帶是被局部分配給這些移動台中每一個移動台的子頻帶。FIG. 5 shows a method 500 for predetermining a plurality of resource allocation patterns (eg, a predetermined resource allocation pattern 400 (FIG. 4)), in accordance with an example embodiment. In this exemplary embodiment, the subband includes four RUs and can be shared by the first mobile station and the second mobile station.

For example, the first resource allocation pattern 600-1 may correspond to the first RU 602-1 and indicate that the first RU 602-1 is assigned to the mobile station 304. For another example, the fifth resource allocation pattern 600-5 may correspond to the first RU 602-1 and the second RU 602-2, and indicate that the first RU 602-1 and the second RU 602-2 are allocated to the mobile station 304. . Also for example, the eighth resource allocation pattern 600-8 may correspond to the second RU 602-2, the third RU 602-3, and the fourth RU 602-4, and indicate the second RU 602-2, the third RU 602- 3 and the fourth RU 602-4 are assigned to the mobile station 304.

在實例性實施例中，預定資源分配樣型中的某些預定資源分配樣型可不重疊地覆蓋子頻帶中的所有RU。例如，第一資源分配樣型600-1、第二資源分配樣型600-2、第三資源分配樣型600-3及第四資源分配樣型600-4不重疊地覆蓋子頻帶602中的所有RU。再例如，第五資源分配樣型600-5及第七資源分配樣型600-7不重疊地覆蓋子頻帶602中的所有RU。In an example embodiment, some of the predetermined resource allocation patterns in the predetermined resource allocation pattern may cover all of the RUs in the sub-band without overlapping. For example, the first resource allocation pattern 600-1, the second resource allocation pattern 600-2, the third resource allocation pattern 600-3, and the fourth resource allocation pattern 600-4 do not overlap the coverage in the subband 602.

在實例性實施例中，可任意地指定三個位元來表示資源分配樣型600-1、600-2、...、及600-8。例如，可使用「000」、「001」、「010」、「011」、「100」、「101」、「110」及「111」來分別表示資源分配樣型600-1、600-2、600-3、600-4、600-5、600-6、600-7及600-8。In an exemplary embodiment, three bits may be arbitrarily designated to represent resource allocation patterns 600-1, 600-2, ..., and 600-8. For example, "000", "001", "010", "011", "100", "101", "110", and "111" can be used to indicate resource allocation patterns 600-1, 600-2, respectively. 600-3, 600-4, 600-5, 600-6, 600-7 and 600-8.

圖7顯示根據一個實例性實施例的一種用於預先決定多個資源分配樣型(例如預定資源分配樣型600(圖6))的方法700。在該實例性實施例中，子頻帶包括四個RU，並且可被兩個、三個或四個移動台共用。被共用的子頻帶是被局部分配給所述兩個、三個或四個移動台中每一個移動台的子頻帶。FIG. 7 shows a method 700 for pre-determining a plurality of resource allocation patterns (eg, predetermined resource allocation patterns 600 (FIG. 6)), in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. In this exemplary embodiment, the subband includes four RUs and can be shared by two, three or four mobile stations. The subbands that are shared are subbands that are locally allocated to each of the two, three, or four mobile stations.

在實例性實施例中，所述多個資源分配樣型可從第一基本樣型組702、第二基本樣型組704及第三基本樣型組706中預先決定。第一組702包括用於指示子頻帶中的哪一個RU被分配給移動台的基本樣型702-1、702-2、702-3及702-4。第二組704包括用於指示子頻帶中的哪兩個RU被分配給移動台的基本樣型704-1、704-2、...、及704-6。第三組706包括用於指示子頻帶中的哪三個RU被分配給移動台的基本樣型706-1、706-2、706-3及706-4。In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of resource allocation patterns may be predetermined from the first basic pattern group 702, the second basic pattern group 704, and the third basic pattern group 706. The first group 702 includes basic patterns 702-1, 702-2, 702-3, and 702-4 for indicating which of the sub-bands is assigned to the mobile station. The second group 704 includes basic patterns 704-1, 704-2, ..., and 704-6 for indicating which two of the sub-bands are assigned to the mobile station. The third group 706 includes basic patterns 706-1, 706-2, 706-3, and 706-4 for indicating which three of the sub-bands are assigned to the mobile station.

類似於上述針對圖5所述，第一組702中的基本樣型702-1、702-2、702-3與702-4為互補樣型。第二組704中的基本樣型704-1與704-2為互補樣型。第二組704中的基本樣型704-3與704-4為互補樣型。第二組704中的基本樣型704-5與704-6為互補樣型。另外，第一組702中的基本樣型702-i與第三組706中的基本樣型706-i為互補樣型。第一組702中的兩個基本樣型與第二組704中的一個基本樣型也可為互補樣型。Similar to the above described for FIG. 5, the basic patterns 702-1, 702-2, 702-3, and 702-4 in the first group 702 are complementary patterns. The basic patterns 704-1 and 704-2 in the second group 704 are complementary. The basic patterns 704-3 and 704-4 in the second group 704 are complementary patterns. The basic patterns 704-5 and 704-6 in the second group 704 are complementary. Additionally, the basic pattern 702-i in the first set 702 and the basic pattern 706-i in the third set 706 are complementary. The two basic patterns in the first set 702 and one of the second set 704 may also be complementary.

所述多個資源分配樣型可從第一基本樣型組702、第二基本樣型組704及第三基本樣型組706中預先決定。例如，如果四個移動台共用子頻帶，則可使用第一組702中的基本樣型702-1、702-2、702-3及702-4來向這四個移動台指示資源分配。還例如，如果三個移動台共用子頻帶並且這三個移動台中的一個移動台被分配有該子頻帶中的兩個RU，則可使用來自第一組702的兩個樣型以及來自第二組704的一個樣型來向這三個移動台指示資源分配。再例如，如果兩個移動台共用子頻帶並且這兩個移動台中的每一個均被分配有該子頻帶中的兩個RU，則可使用第二組704的兩個樣型來向這兩個移動台指示資源分配。作為另一實例，如果兩個移動台共用子頻帶並且這兩個移動台中的一個移動台被分配有該子頻帶中的三個RU，則可使用來自第一組702的一個樣型以及來自第三組706的一個樣型來向這兩個移動台指示資源分配。The plurality of resource allocation patterns may be predetermined from the first basic pattern group 702, the second basic pattern group 704, and the third basic pattern group 706. For example, if four mobile stations share a sub-band, the basic patterns 702-1, 702-2, 702-3, and 702-4 in the first group 702 can be used to indicate resource allocations to the four mobile stations. Also for example, if three mobile stations share a sub-band and one of the three mobile stations is assigned two RUs in the sub-band, two samples from the first group 702 can be used and from the second A pattern of group 704 to indicate resource allocation to the three mobile stations. For another example, if two mobile stations share a sub-band and each of the two mobile stations is assigned two RUs in the sub-band, then two samples of the second group 704 can be used to move to the two The station indicates the resource allocation. As another example, if two mobile stations share a sub-band and one of the two mobile stations is assigned three RUs in the sub-band, one of the samples from the first group 702 can be used as well as from the first A sample of three sets 706 to indicate resource allocation to the two mobile stations.

在實例性實施例中，可選擇總共七個基本樣型來形成所述多個預定資源分配樣型以供基地台302(圖3)使用，這七個基本樣型包括來自第一組702的所有四個基本樣型、來自第二組704的兩個基本樣型、以及來自第三組706的一個基本樣型。由於需要至少三個位元來表示這七個基本樣型，並且這三個位元可表示至多八個基本樣型，因而還可從第二組704或第三組706選擇一額外的基本樣型來形成所述多個預定資源分配樣型。In an exemplary embodiment, a total of seven basic patterns may be selected to form the plurality of predetermined resource allocation patterns for use by base station 302 (FIG. 3), including seven from the first group 702. All four basic patterns, two basic patterns from the second group 704, and one basic pattern from the third group 706. Since at least three bits are required to represent the seven basic patterns, and the three bits can represent up to eight basic patterns, an additional base sample can also be selected from the second group 704 or the third group 706. Forming to form the plurality of predetermined resource allocation patterns.

在一個實例性實施例中，選擇第一組702中的所有四個基本樣型702-1、702-2、702-3及702-4、第二組704中的基本樣型704-1、704-2及704-4、以及第三組706中的基本樣型706-1來形成預定資源分配樣型600(圖6)。In an exemplary embodiment, all four basic patterns 702-1, 702-2, 702-3, and 702-4 in the first group 702, the basic patterns 704-1 in the second group 704 are selected, Basic patterns 706-1 in 704-2 and 704-4, and third group 706 form a predetermined resource allocation pattern 600 (Fig. 6).

在實例性實施例中，可在電腦上執行方法700來預先決定所述多個資源分配樣型。此時，基地台302(圖3)可用以提供所述多個預定資源分配樣型，並使用所述多個預定資源分配樣型來指示在被局部分配的子頻帶中將哪一(哪些)RU分配給移動台304(圖3)。作為另外一種選擇，基地台302(圖3)可使用方法700來預先決定所述多個資源分配樣型。In an example embodiment, method 700 can be performed on a computer to predetermine the plurality of resource allocation patterns. At this point, base station 302 (FIG. 3) can be used to provide the plurality of predetermined resource allocation patterns and use the plurality of predetermined resource allocation patterns to indicate which (or) of the sub-bands to be locally allocated. The RU is assigned to the mobile station 304 (Fig. 3). Alternatively, base station 302 (FIG. 3) can use method 700 to predetermine the plurality of resource allocation patterns.

再次參照圖3，在實例性實施例中，基地台302用以傳送資源分配指示符(resource allocation indicator，也稱為子頻帶分配A-MAP)，以向移動台304指示資源分配。資源分配指示符具有多個位元(例如十一個位元)。移動台304從基地台302接收資源分配指示符，並根據資源分配指示符來決定其資源分配。Referring again to FIG. 3, in an exemplary embodiment, base station 302 is configured to transmit a resource allocation indicator (also referred to as a sub-band allocation A-MAP) to indicate to the mobile station 304 a resource allocation. The resource allocation indicator has multiple bits (eg, eleven bits). The mobile station 304 receives the resource allocation indicator from the base station 302 and determines its resource allocation based on the resource allocation indicator.

在實例性實施例中，資源分配指示符包括至少資源索引欄位(resource indexing field，RIF)以及樣型指示欄位(pattern indication field，PIF)。RIF佔據資源分配指示符中的第一多個位元(例如七個位元)，並用於指示哪一(哪些)子頻帶被分配給移動台304，所述子頻帶中的每一個均為被完全分配給移動台304的子頻帶或被局部分配給移動台304的子頻帶。PIF佔據資源分配指示符中的第二多個位元(例如兩個或三個位元)，並用於指示在被局部分配的子頻帶中將哪一(哪些)RU分配給移動台304。In an exemplary embodiment, the resource allocation indicator includes at least a resource indexing field (RIF) and a pattern indication field (PIF). The RIF occupies a first plurality of bits (e.g., seven bits) in the resource allocation indicator and is used to indicate which sub-bands are allocated to the mobile station 304, each of the sub-bands being A sub-band that is fully allocated to the mobile station 304 or a sub-band that is locally allocated to the mobile station 304. The PIF occupies a second plurality of bits (e.g., two or three bits) in the resource allocation indicator and is used to indicate which RU(s) to allocate to the mobile station 304 in the locally allocated subband.

在實例性實施例中，資源分配指示符還可包括位置欄位(location field，LF)。LF佔據資源分配指示符中的例如一個位元，並用於指示被分配給移動台304的哪一子頻帶是被局部分配的子頻帶。作為另外一種選擇，基地台302可指定所分配子頻帶中的任一子頻帶作為被局部分配的子頻帶。例如，基地台302可指定所分配子頻帶中具有最高或最低子頻帶索引的一個子頻帶作為被局部分配的子頻帶。In an example embodiment, the resource allocation indicator may also include a location field (LF). The LF occupies, for example, one bit in the resource allocation indicator and is used to indicate which sub-band allocated to the mobile station 304 is a sub-band that is locally allocated. Alternatively, base station 302 can specify any of the assigned sub-bands as the sub-bands that are locally allocated. For example, base station 302 can specify one of the allocated sub-bands having the highest or lowest sub-band index as the sub-band that is locally allocated.

圖8至圖17顯示根據實例性實施例的資源分配指示符800至1700。在這些實例性實施例中，假定每一子頻帶均包括四個RU。8 through 17 show resource allocation indicators 800 through 1700, in accordance with an example embodiment. In these example embodiments, it is assumed that each sub-band includes four RUs.

圖8顯示根據實例性實施例的資源分配指示符800，資源分配指示符800用於使基地台302(圖3)向移動台304(圖3)指示資源分配。在該實例性實施例中，基地台302使用資源分配指示符800來指示兩個子頻帶，例如子頻帶u及v(u及v為子頻帶索引，u<v)，這兩個子頻帶包括被分配給移動台304的資源。基地台302根據預定資源分配樣型400(圖4)來產生資源分配指示符800。8 shows a resource allocation indicator 800 for causing base station 302 (FIG. 3) to indicate resource allocation to mobile station 304 (FIG. 3), in accordance with an example embodiment. In the exemplary embodiment, base station 302 uses resource allocation indicator 800 to indicate two sub-bands, such as sub-bands u and v (u and v are sub-band indices, u < v), which include Resources that are assigned to mobile station 304. The base station 302 generates a resource allocation indicator 800 based on the predetermined resource allocation pattern 400 (Fig. 4).

參照圖3、圖4及圖8，在實例性實施例中，資源分配指示符800可具有十一個位元(即位元10、位元9、...、及位元0)，其中位元10為最高有效位元(most significant bit，MSB)，並且位元0為最低有效位元(least significant bit，LSB)。資源分配指示符800包括RIF 802、PIF 804及LF 806。Referring to Figures 3, 4 and 8, in an exemplary embodiment, the resource allocation indicator 800 can have eleven bits (i.e., bit 10, bit 9, ..., and bit 0), where Element 10 is the most significant bit (MSB), and bit 0 is the least significant bit (LSB). Resource allocation indicator 800 includes RIF 802, PIF 804, and LF 806.

在實例性實施例中，RIF 802可佔據資源分配指示符800的七個位元(例如位元9、位元8、...、及位元3)，並用於指示哪些子頻帶被分配給移動台304。可如下決定RIF 802的值：In an exemplary embodiment, RIF 802 may occupy seven bits (eg, bit 9, bit 8, ..., and bit 3) of resource allocation indicator 800 and are used to indicate which sub-bands are assigned to Mobile station 304. The value of RIF 802 can be determined as follows:

其中，「{}」表示擴充二項式係數計算(extended-binomial-coefficient calculation)，即，n及k為整数。Where "{}" indicates an extended-binomial-coefficient calculation, ie , n and k are integers.

在一個實例性實施例中，RIF 802的值是根據u及v的值的不同組合而預先決定。然後，RIF 802的預定值可作為查找表(look-up table)存儲於基地台302中。In an exemplary embodiment, the value of RIF 802 is predetermined based on different combinations of values of u and v. The predetermined value of the RIF 802 can then be stored in the base station 302 as a look-up table.

在實例性實施例中，LF 806可佔據資源分配指示符800的一個位元(例如位元2)，並用於指示子頻帶u或子頻帶v中的哪一個為被局部分配給移動台304的子頻帶。例如，LF 806為「0」時可指示子頻帶v(即具有較高索引的子頻帶)為被局部分配給移動台304的子頻帶，而LF 806為「1」時可指示子頻帶u(即具有較低索引的子頻帶)為被局部分配給移動台304的子頻帶。In an example embodiment, LF 806 may occupy one bit (e.g., bit 2) of resource allocation indicator 800 and be used to indicate which of subband u or subband v is locally allocated to mobile station 304. Subband. For example, when LF 806 is “0”, the sub-band v (ie, the sub-band with the higher index) may be indicated as the sub-band allocated to the mobile station 304, and when the LF 806 is “1”, the sub-band u may be indicated.

在實例性實施例中，如果類型欄位1706為「0」以指示三個子頻帶被分配給移動台304，則RIF 1702可佔據資源分配指示符1700的七個位元(例如位元10、位元9、...、及位元4)，並用於指示哪三個子頻帶被分配給移動台304。RIF 1702的值可根據方程式(2)來決定。PIF 1704可佔據資源分配指示符1700的三個位元(例如位元2、位元1及位元0)，並用於通過指示預定資源分配樣型500中的對應資源分配樣型而指示子頻帶中的哪一(哪些)RU被分配給移動台304。In an exemplary embodiment, if type field 1706 is "0" to indicate that three sub-bands are allocated to mobile station 304, RIF 1702 may occupy seven bits of resource allocation indicator 1700 (eg, bit 10, bit) The elements 9, ..., and 4) are used to indicate which three sub-bands are assigned to the mobile station 304. The value of RIF 1702 can be determined according to equation (2). The PIF 1704 can occupy three bits of the resource allocation indicator 1700 (e.g., bit 2, bit 1 and bit 0) and is used to indicate the subband by indicating a corresponding resource allocation pattern in the predetermined resource allocation pattern 500. Which of the (or) RUs is assigned to the mobile station 304.

如果類型欄位1706為「1」以指示一個子頻帶(例如子頻帶u)或兩個子頻帶(例如子頻帶u及v(u<v))被分配給移動台304，則RIF 1702可佔據資源分配指示符1700的七個位元(例如位元10、位元9、...、及位元4)。可使用RIF 1702的一個位元來區分這兩種情形。例如，RIF 1702中的位元10為「0」指示兩個子頻帶被分配給移動台304，而RIF 1702中的位元10為「1」指示一個子頻帶被分配給移動台304。RIF 1702中的剩餘位元(例如位元9、位元8、...、及位元4)用於指示哪一(哪些)子頻帶被分配給移動台304。RIF 1702中的位元9、位元8、...、及位元元4的值可根據方程式(3)(對於一個子頻帶的情形)或根據方程式(1)(對於兩個子頻帶的情形)來決定。If the type field 1706 is "1" to indicate that one sub-band (e.g., sub-band u) or two sub-bands (e.g., sub-bands u and v (u < v)) are assigned to the mobile station 304, the RIF 1702 can occupy Seven bits of resource allocation indicator 1700 (e.g., bit 10, bit 9, ..., and bit 4). One bit of RIF 1702 can be used to distinguish between the two cases. For example, bit 10 in RIF 1702 is "0" indicating that two sub-bands are assigned to mobile station 304, while bit 10 in RIF 1702 is "1" indicating that one sub-band is allocated to mobile station 304. The remaining bits in RIF 1702 (e.g., bit 9, bit 8, ..., and bit 4) are used to indicate which sub-bands are allocated to mobile station 304. The values of bit 9, bit 8, ..., and bit element 4 in RIF 1702 may be according to equation (3) (for a sub-band case) or according to equation (1) (for two sub-bands) Situation) to decide.
