METHOD FOR ALLOCATING TRANSMISSION RESOURCES IN A WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM OR MOBILE TERMINAL, WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOCATING TRANSMISSION RESOURCES IN A WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

method for allocating transmission resources in a wireless telecommunication system or mobile terminal, wireless telecommunication system, mobile terminal, and apparatus for allocating transmission resources in a wireless telecommunication system. A method of allocating transmission resources in an OFDM wireless telecommunications system arranged to communicate data using a plurality of OFDM subcarriers. the method includes allocating transmission resources provided by a first group of the plurality of ofdm subcarriers within a first atherm frequency band of a first type; allocating transmission resources provided by a second group of the plurality of ofdm subcarriers within a second frequency band to terminals of a second type,the second group being smaller than the first group and the second frequency band being selected from within the first frequency band; transmitting control information comprising resource allocation information to terminals of the first type across a first bandwidth corresponding to the first and second combined groups of ofdm subcarriers 20; and then transmitting control information comprising resource allocation information to terminals of the second type across a second bandwidth corresponding to the second group of ofdm subcarriers.
