PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for dynamically mapping assigned resources to physical resources.SOLUTION: A resource assigned for communication may be mapped to a first physical resource on the basis of a first mapping function and to a second physical resource on the basis of a second mapping function. The assigned resource may be configurable for hopping or no hopping. The first mapping function may be a transparent function or may map consecutive input indices to non-consecutive output indices. The second mapping function may be equal to an output of the first mapping function plus an offset defined by a step size and a hop value. The hop value may be configurable for the assigned resource and may be conveyed in a resource assignment. The hop value may be set to a first value to indicate no hopping or to a second value to indicate hopping by the step size.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methodologies that facilitate selecting frequency for transmitting a control channel format indicator (CCFI) so as to identify a related cell.SOLUTION: CCFI data is transmitted in an initial portion of frequency (such as an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol) in a time transmit interval (TTI). The CCFI data is spread across the initial portion of frequency and shifted to identify a transmitting cell. Additionally, the CCFI data is scrambled to further identify the cell. The CCFI data is also utilized to determine structure of subsequent control and/or data channels.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for channel estimation in a system employing different transmission protocols such as a broadcast/multicast protocol and a unicast protocol.SOLUTION: When pilots of adjacent slots are used for channel estimation, quality of channel estimation deteriorates significantly. To solve the problem, it is determined whether a first time slot (multicast slot) of one transmission protocol is adjacent to a second time slot (unicast slot) of another transmission protocol (510); a symbol of an edge slot is determined (520); the pilot power and/or the number of pilot sub-carriers is increased (530); and channel estimation is performed using the edge symbol (540).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively reuse frequency when a reference signal (pilot) of a single frequency network (SFN) is multiplexed in a downlink of a wireless communication system.SOLUTION: When SFN transmission for data occurs, a location in time of a sub-frame is determined and a first transmission pattern and a second transmission pattern for the reference signals are determined, wherein the transmission patterns indicate the symbols and tones of the sub-frame used for the reference signals. Furthermore, it is selected whether the first transmission pattern is used or the second transmission pattern is used for the reference signals depending on whether SFN data is transmitted in the sub-frame. Information on the selected transmission pattern is broadcasted before the selected transmission pattern is used.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of applying PAR back-off values to determine the transmission power and rate for SIMO and MIMO.SOLUTION: A power allocation algorithm for different UL MIMO schemes is described as follows. For MIMO without antenna permutation, different PAR back-off values are considered for different data streams. For MIMO with antenna permutation or other unitary transformation such as virtual antenna mapping or precoding, the PAR back-off values are determined based on a combined channel.
