Resource Allocation is explained in detail in the post ‘Resource Allocation’.

Uplink Resource Allocation Type 0 indicates to a scheduled UE a set of contiguously allocated virtual resource block indices. This type is explained in the post ‘UplinkResource Allocation Type 0’.

Uplink Resource Allocation Type 1 introduced in Release – 10 is used to indicate a scheduled UE, two sets of resource blocks with each set including one or more consecutive resource block groups.

In the Downlink, Resource AllocationType 0 and Resource Allocation Type 1 are used for non-contiguous resource allocation which uses bit-map based signaling.

Similar to Uplink Type 0, there exists a resource allocation type in Downlink which is Type2.

Limitations:

•     Uplink Resource Allocation Type 1 is not supported yet…
