  • Resource allocation
    Patent number: 8929313
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 6, 2015
    Assignee: NEC Corporation
    Inventors: Robert Arnott, Sherif Mekhail
  • Resource allocation signalling
    Patent number: 8694013
    Abstract: A mobile telecommunications system is described in which a base station allocates control channel elements for signalling resource allocation data for a number of mobile telephones. The CCEs are partitioned into at least two groups, one for uplink allocations and one for downlink allocations. In one embodiment, the group size is fixed while in another embodiment, the group size changes between sub-frames. In another embodiment, the group size is varied in a pseudo-random manner.
