Abstract

A method and system for flexible resource control for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is disclosed. The WTRU may monitor a first control channel region and receive a first control channel transmission in the first control region indicating boundaries of a plurality of numerology blocks of a carrier. The WTRU may then receive a second control channel transmission in a second control channel of a second control region, wherein the second control channel transmission indicates one or more numerology parameters for at least one of the plurality of numerology blocks. The WTRU may then transmit or receive data based on the one or more numerology parameters of the one or more numerology blocks.

Claims (24)

1. A method implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

receiving a downlink control transmission in a first bandwidth portion of a cell bandwidth,

wherein the downlink control transmission includes downlink control information (DCI),

wherein the DCI includes resource block allocation information,

wherein a size of the resource block allocation information is based on a number of resource blocks of the first bandwidth portion; and

receiving a data transmission in a set of resource blocks of a second bandwidth portion of the cell,

wherein the resource block allocation information includes a starting resource block index and a length of a number of contiguous resource blocks,

wherein the set of resource blocks is determined by scaling up the starting resource block index and a length of the number of contiguous resource blocks by a value greater than one based on a bandwidth of the second bandwidth portion, and

wherein the second bandwidth portion is larger than the first bandwidth portion.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value is further based on a bandwidth of the first bandwidth portion.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the length associated with the first bandwidth portion is N resource blocks and the length associated with the second bandwidth portion is the value times N.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource allocation information includes a bit map, wherein the bitmap for the first bandwidth portion indicates N resource blocks and the bitmap for the second bandwidth portion indicates the value times N resources blocks.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI includes an indication associated with virtual resource block (VRB) to physical resource block (PRB) mapping.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the indication is associated with interleaved mapping.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a second downlink control transmission in the second bandwidth portion, wherein a size of a second resource block allocation information of the second downlink control transmission is based on the bandwidth of the second bandwidth portion.

8. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the WTRU comprising:

a processor operatively coupled to a transceiver, the processor and transceiver configured to receive a downlink control transmission in a first bandwidth portion of a cell bandwidth, wherein the downlink control transmission includes downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes resource block allocation information, wherein a size of the resource block allocation information is based on a number of resource blocks of the first bandwidth portion; and

the processor and transceiver configured to receive a data transmission in a set of resource blocks of a second bandwidth portion of the cell, wherein the resource block allocation information includes a starting resource block index and a length of a number of contiguous resource blocks, wherein the set of resource blocks is determined by scaling up the starting resource block index and the length of the number of contiguous resource blocks by a value greater than one based on a bandwidth of the second bandwidth portion, and wherein the second bandwidth portion is larger than the first bandwidth portion.

9. The WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the value is further based on a bandwidth of the first bandwidth portion.

10. The WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the length associated with the first bandwidth portion is N resource blocks and the length associated with the second bandwidth portion is the value times N.

11. The WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the resource allocation information includes a bit map, wherein the bitmap for the first bandwidth portion indicates N resource blocks and the bitmap for the second bandwidth portion indicates the value times N resources blocks.

12. The WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the DCI includes an indication associated with virtual resource block (VRB) to physical resource block (PRB) mapping.

13. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein the indication is associated with interleaved mapping.

14. The WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the processor and transceiver are configured to receive a second downlink control transmission in the second bandwidth portion, wherein a size of a second resource block allocation information of the second downlink control transmission is based on the bandwidth of the second bandwidth portion.
