Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for determining a location of a frequency-domain resource block using frequency spacing values. One apparatus includes a transceiver that communicates with a base station in a mobile communication network a processor that determines a first spacing value for frequency locations within a frequency range and determines a second spacing value for frequency locations within the frequency range. The processor receives (via the transceiver) information of a first scalar and a second scalar and determines a location of a set of frequency-domain resource blocks using a location of a reference resource block. Here, the location of the reference resource block is based on the sum of a product of the first scalar and the first spacing value and a product of the second scalar and the second spacing value. The apparatus receives data from the base station on the set of frequency-domain resource blocks.
