Abstract:
An apparatus configured to store a bandwidth part arrangement of the bandwidth part into plural physical resource blocks which are grouped into bundles forming a bundle grid, wherein the bandwidth part includes at least one guard band, to determine at least one of the bundles as partially overlapping with the at least one guard band, each partially overlapping bundle including overlapping and non-overlapping physical resource blocks, and to at least one of: 1) re-assign at least one of the non-overlapping physical resource blocks to a non-overlapping bundle immediately preceding or immediately following, in the bundle grid, the partially overlapping bundle, 2) re-align a first physical resource block of the non-overlapping bundle immediately following the partially overlapped bundle to coincide with a guard band end, and 3) re-align a last physical resource block of the non-overlapping bundle immediately preceding the partially overlapped bundle to coincide with a guard band start.
