EUTRA uplink frequency hopping technique

摘要

A communications node (3) that serves to communicate with another communications node (5) in a communication system that uses sub-bands in which each sub-band has the same size in number of contiguous resource blocks, comprising the communications node (3): means for receiving resource allocation information indicating a set of contiguous resource blocks within a sub-band; means for determining (89) at least one resource block to be used for transmission in a interval; and means for communicating (73) with the other communications node (5) using at least one determined resource block in which at least one resource block to be used for transmission is determined based on a first value and a second value; in which the first value is obtained from the resource allocation information; and in which the second value is determined based on a jump function multiplied by the size of each sub-band.
