Abstract: A resource allocation method and a resource indication method for E-MBS system, and a mobile station using the same are proposed. The resource units of a first service flow are allocated following the end of the E-MBS MAP of the E-MBS region, along with the increasing of frequency domain index. When the edge of the E-MBS region in frequency domain is reached, the resource units of mth service flow are continued to be allocated from top frequency domain index in next time domain index, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The resource units of m+1th service flow are allocated following the mth service flow, and such procedures are repeated until all service flows are allocated required resource units. The resource indication method indicates a specific service flow by absolute location in the E-MBS region formed based upon the resource allocation method.
