Method and apparatus for distributed resource allocation in a wireless communication system
A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a base station, the base station transmits a configuration of a bandwidth part to a User Equipment (UE). The base station determines a subset of frequency resources within the bandwidth part. The base station transmits, to the UE, an indication of one or more allocated resources, within the subset of frequency resources, for a transmission. The base station does not enable interleaved mapping for the transmission.
