Abstract
A network informs a user equipment about the number of usable sub-carriers in a frequency spectrum. Based on this, and its knowledge of a generic size of a resource block, the user equipment is able to determine a number of sub-carriers that are to be allocated to one or more fractional resource blocks. Rules, which may be predefined in the standard, or may be signalled to the user equipment, allow the user equipment to determine which of the usable sub-carriers should be allocated to the fractional resource block or blocks.
