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. An allocation of the sub-carriers for each of a plurality of user devices is received. The received allocations are processed 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 a predetermined mapping which relates the data identifying the corresponding start chunk and end chunk determined by the processing step to resource allocation data comprising a unique value. The respective resource allocation data is signaled to each of the plurality of user devices.

A mobile telecommunications system is described in which a base station allocates each mobile telephone a plurality of physical resource blocks for use in transmitting uplink data. A novel algorithm is described for the operation of the base station scheduler to perform this allocation in a computationally efficient manner.

Abstract:
A method of allocating resources in a communication system which uses a plurality of sub-carriers arranged in a sequence of physical resource blocks wherein adjacent blocks of the sequence are arranged in groups. The method includes, in a base station, determining at least one virtual resource block for allocation to a mobile communications device, signalling data identifying each virtual resource block to the mobile communications device, and mapping each allocated virtual resource block, using predetermined mapping data, onto a plurality of spaced physical resource blocks to determine the physical resource blocks to be used for communications with the mobile communications device. At least part of the predetermined mapping data defines an equation for the location of a further physical resource block, relative to a first physical resource block.
Abstract:
A communications apparatus is described which is capable of auto-tuning a cell admission threshold value used to control admission into a communications network. The apparatus obtains an outage rate for one or more current calls at a node in the network, and also a blocking rate of the rate at which admission requests at the node are blocked and uses these rates to adjust a load threshold to be used in admission control decisions. The apparatus then controls admission of calls at the node in dependence on an estimated current load and the load threshold.
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.
