Title:
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/026126
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A communication system (1) is disclosed in which a base station (5) communicates with a reduced bandwidth machine-type-communication, MTC, device (3-2) by dividing the base station's cell bandwidth into non-overlapping band portions, each band portion comprising a respective set of contiguous resource blocks that occupy a frequency bandwidth not exceeding the bandwidth of the MTC device (3-2), and each band portion having a respective index for identifying that band portion. The base station (5) obtains: i) an index of a band portion for use by the MTC device (3-2); and ii) information for identifying an allocation of at least one resource block within that band portion. The base station (5) generates and signals, to the MTC device (3-2), control data for uniquely identifying a position of the allocation of at least one resource block, within said cell bandwidth.
