Abstract
A method for resource-block allocation, which includes processing OFDM symbol samples to produce complex taps of DFT, selecting the taps forming part of a current resource block allocation and processing the selected taps to provide MAC data. Further, the method includes storing taps that were not previously selected and extracting from the MAC data resource block allocations designating a current sub-frame and subsequently processing the stored taps identified as having the same sub-frame as the allocations extracted from the MAC data, such that scheduling blocks can be included within the same sub-frame as one or more scheduled blocks.
