Abstract: Multicasting resource allocation information per aggregation level is enabled. A device allocates resources to UEs according to aggregation level. At each level, a control message includes a bitmap, where each bit corresponds to a different resource, an array, and an ID field for dynamic mapping to the bitmap. The placement order value of an ID in the field is stored at locations in the array. The index value for those locations in the array identifies which asserted bits in the bitmap correspond to the resource allocation for a UE at the level. The control message is multicast to the UEs specified at the aggregation level. The bitmap may have the same length at each level, or have reducing length at lower levels with the removal of bits already asserted at higher levels. The UE reconstructs the bitmap from the higher level bitmaps and the bitmap for the current level.
