Resource Allocation Type 0

Resource allocation type 2 is mainly used for contiguous RB allocations for uplink. Also, RA
Type 2 is used for compact scheduling of downlink assignments.

In RA Type 2, the resource block assignment information indicates to a scheduled UE a set


of contiguously allocated localized VRBs or distributed VRBs.
In case of resource allocation signaled with PDCCH DCI format 1A, 1B or 1D, one bit flag
indicates whether localized VRBs or distributed VRBs are assigned (value 0 indicates
Localized and value 1 indicates Distributed VRB assignment) . In the case of resource
allocation signaled with PDCCH DCI format 1C, only distributed VRBs are assigned.

Localized VRB allocations for a UE vary from a single VRB up to a maximum number of VRBs
spanning the system bandwidth.

For indicating contiguous RB assignment, starting position of the RB (RBstart) and the

LTE System Information (8)

number of RBs is required. Let us consider RBstart = 0th RB, the number of combinations
possible = NRB. Similarly when RBstart = 1st RB, then the number of possible combinations
are NRB 1 and so on. There are NRB.(NRB + 1)/2 combinations possible in total.

For downlink, PDCCH DCI format 1A, 1B or 1D, a type 2 resource allocation field consists of
a Resource Indication Value (RIV) corresponding to a starting resource block (RBstart) and a

length in terms of virtually contiguously allocated resource blocks LCRBs .

For uplink, a resource allocation field in the scheduling grant consists of a resource
indication value (RIV) corresponding to an RBstart and a length in terms of contiguously

allocated physical resource blocks (LCRBs 1). The RIV value for both uplink and downlink

is defined by:

RIV = NRB (LCRBs 1) + RBstart

= NRB (NRB LCRBs + 1) + (NRB 1 RBstart)

if (LCRBs 1) NRB /2
otherwise

Example:
Let us consider NRB = 6 NRB.(NRB + 1)/2 = 21 5-bits are required for indicating any RIV
value ranging from 0 to 20. The RIV values for NRB = 6 are illustrated below. Let RBstart = 2
and LCRBs = 3, from the above equations RIV = 14

Resource Allocation
The information on which Resource Blocks (RBs) are allocated (Resource Allocation) for
both Uplink and Downlink needs to be signalled to the UE.
The Resource Allocation information is carried on Downlink Control Information (DCI) by
Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). Resource Allocation field is one of the major
field in the DCI.
In the case of Uplink, the allocated RBs have to be contiguous in order to guarantee singlecarrier property (SC-FDMA is used in the Uplink). The contiguous nature of resource
allocation requires less number of bits but the scheduler in the eNB will have less
flexibility in allocating the resources.
In the case of Downlink, the allocated RBs doesnt need to be contiguous which will
require more bits to signal the Resource Allocation but the eNBs scheduler will have more
flexibility in allocating the resources.
In LTE, ResourceAllocation Type 0, Resource Allocation Type 1 and Resource Allocation
Type 2 are defined.
Resource Allocation Type 0 and Resource Allocation Type 1 are used for non-contiguous
resource allocation (only for Downlink) which uses bit-map based signaling. Resource
Allocation Type 2 is used for contiguous allocation of resources both in Uplink and
Downlink.
The UE shall interpret the Resource Allocation field depending on the PDCCH DCI Format
detected.
For Uplink, Resource Allocation information is conveyed on PDCCH DCI Format 0 using
Resource Allocation Type 2.
In the Downlink, PDCCH DCI Formats 1, 2, 2A and 2B uses Resource Allocation Type 0 or
Type 1 whereas PDCCH DCI Formats 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D uses Resource Allocation Type 2
