Abstract
A resource allocation message includes a resource allocation field. The resource allocation field includes a first field that includes either a first sub-field or a first sub-field and a second sub-field with the first sub-field configured to hold a first value that indicates two or more logical indices and the second sub-field configured to hold a third value. Each of the logical indices is associated with a sub-band pair of resource units. The sub-band pair of resource units includes either a first sub-band resource unit or a first sub-band resource unit and a second sub-band resource unit. The resource allocation field also includes a second field configured to hold a second value that indicates, either alone or in combination with the third value, a first sub-band resource unit or a second sub-band resource unit for each of the sub-band pair of resource units indicated by the first field.

76 . The method in accordance with claim 69 wherein the third value held by the second field being in the range from 0110 through 1101 is interpreted to indicate the allocation of three sub-band resource units within three sub-band pair resource units with logical indices u, v and w, with u≠v≠w≠10, with each of the eight possible values of the third value in this range indicating each of the eight possible particular positions of the three sub-band resource units within the three sub-band pair resource units.
77 . The method in accordance with claim 68 wherein the second field comprises 4 bits, and wherein the third value held by the second field being in the range from 0110 through 1101 is interpreted to indicate the allocation of three sub-band resource units within three sub-band pair resource units with logical indices u, v and w, with u≠v≠w≠10, with each of the eight possible values of the third value in this range indicating each of the eight possible particular positions of the three sub-band resource units within the three sub-band pair resource units.
78 . The method in accordance with claim 77 wherein the logical indices u, v and w of the three sub-band pairs of resource units being indicated, with u≠v≠w≠10, are interpreted to be translated to the first value of the first sub-field by the equation

79 . The method in accordance with claim 69 wherein the third value held by the second field being in the range from 1110 through 1111 is interpreted to indicate the allocation of three sub-band resource units within three sub-band pairs of resource units with logical indices u, v and w, with u≠v≠w, with w=10, and with the sub-band pair resource unit with index w=10 consisting of a single and a first of the three sub-band resource units being allocated.
80 . The method in accordance with claim 79 wherein the first field is further defined to consist of 7 bits, comprising the first sub-field comprising the 6 least significant and the second sub-field comprising the most significant of these bits, and wherein each of the two possible values of the second value of the second sub-field, in combination with each of the two possible values of the third value, indicates each of the four possible positions of a second and a third of the sub-band resource units within the sub-band pair of resource units with logical indices u and v.
81 . The method in accordance with claim 80 , wherein the logical indices u, v and w of the three sub-band pairs of resource units, with u≠v≠w, and with w=10, are interpreted to be translated to the first value of the first sub-field by the equation
