  • Patent number: 11219009
    Abstract: A network node, such as a base station, identifies radio resources within an overall bandwidth using a first resource referencing scheme, while a wireless communication device identifies radio resources within an allocated portion of the overall bandwidth using a second resource referencing scheme. Advantageously, the device correctly identifies given radio resources pointed to by a resource identifier expressed according to the first resource referencing scheme, by translating the resource identifier into the second resource referencing scheme according to mapping information that relates the two schemes. Correspondingly, the network node enables the wireless communication device to perform such translations by providing the mapping information either implicitly or explicitly.
