Abstract

A method in a network node for assigning resource blocks to a Mobile Station, MS, served by the network node. The MS is capable of downlink multicarrier operation. The network node receives from the MS an indication of a maximum number of consecutive downlink timeslots that the MS is capable of receiving on a given carrier during a TTI. The network node receives, from the MS, an indication of a maximum number of resource blocks that the MS is capable of processing during a TTI. The network node receives, from the MS, an indication of a maximum number of carriers supported by the MS. The network node assigns resource blocks to the MS, based on the received indication of a maximum number of consecutive downlink TS, the received indication of a maximum number of resource blocks and the received indication of a maximum number of carriers.
