Abstract
A method of signalling resource allocation data in a communication system which uses a plurality of sub-carriers arranged in a sequence of chunks includes receiving an allocation of the sub-carriers for each of a plurality of user devices, which received allocation identifies a type of allocation of the sub-carriers. The received allocations are processed, in dependence on the identified type of allocation, to determine, for each user device, data identifying a start chunk and an end chunk within the sequence of chunks, which depend upon the sub-carriers allocated to the user device. Different resource allocation data is generated for each of the user devices using the data identifying the corresponding start chunk and end chunk determined by the processing, the resource allocation data including type data identifying the type of allocation. The respective resource allocation data is signaled to each of the plurality of user devices.
