A method for dynamic allocation of radio UL Physical Resource Block pairs of a plurality of subframes in a cell of an FDMA RAN. For each of the plurality of subframes, using a bandwidth layout in frequency domain for an UL bandwidth of the cell, in which the bandwidth layout has an inner region for a PUSCH positioned between outer regions for a PUCCH. For each of the outer regions, a PUCCH layout comprises an innermost section for PUCCH Format 1 and a middle section and an outermost section are PUCCH Formats 2 and 3. Depending on the traffic load of the cell, dynamically allocating, contiguously inwards, PRB pairs to Scheduling Requests in the outer regions and contiguously extending the inner region as allowed by the dynamic allocation of PRB pairs in the outer regions in each of the plurality of subframes.
