Methods and apparatuses of resource allocation for wireless communication are presented. In an example, a user equipment may contain radio circuitry and processing circuitry such that the user equipment is configured to obtain a set of multiple indices, where each index in the set of multiple indices corresponds to a different uplink resource allocation from a set of uplink resource allocations formed from twelve contiguous subcarriers. In an aspect, the set of uplink resource allocations includes an allocation of the twelve contiguous subcarriers, two allocations of six contiguous subcarriers, four allocations of three contiguous subcarriers, and twelve allocations of a single subcarrier. In a further aspect, the user equipment can receive an index indication corresponding to an index from the set of multiple indices from the base station. Also, the user equipment can transmit data to the base station using the resource allocation corresponding to the received index indication.

A method is provided for receiving a downlink signal at a downlink reception entity in a wireless communication system. Downlink control information is received by demodulating a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a first resource block (RB) pair within an RB bundle by using a first Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) in the first RB pair. Further, downlink data is received by demodulating a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in one or more second RB pairs within the RB bundle by using a second DMRS in the one or more second RB pairs. The second DMRS is used based on an assumption that a same precoder is applied to the one or more second RB pairs.

In one novel aspect, a plurality of synchronization signal (SS) anchors within a block of a contiguous spectrum is configured in a wireless network. Each SS anchor is a primary SS anchor or a secondary SS anchor. The UE performs an initial access by detecting a first primary SS anchor and receives one or more virtual carrier configurations with corresponding SS anchors within the block of the contiguous spectrum. In another novel aspect, the UE performs an initial access through a first RF band with a first bandwidth and a first center frequency, receives a switching signal to switch from the first RF band to a second RF band with a second bandwidth and a second center frequency, the second bandwidth is different from the first bandwidth, and performs a RF bandwidth adaptation from the first RF band to the second RF band based on the adaptation signal.

Resource selection for communication of uplink control information may include determining cyclic shift ramping for resource block (RB) sets. A user equipment UE) may use one or more RB sets for transmitting uplink control information on a shared radio frequency spectrum such as an unlicensed band. In some examples, the UE may transmit uplink control information to a base station (BS) via consecutive RB sets. To this end, the BS may schedule consecutive RB sets for an uplink transmission by the wireless communication device and monitor each of these RB sets for uplink control information.

A resource allocation method to resolve a problem that a transport block of a typical enhanced voice service (EVS) scenario in an air interface is much smaller than a transport block of a conventional adaptive multi rate (AMR), and use of a resource allocation method in the existing long term evolution (LTE) causes a waste of user spectrum resources such that spectrum utilization in an EVS scenario can be improved. The method includes determining resource allocation information and resource allocation block indication information, where the resource allocation information includes information indicating at least one fractional resource block (FRB) allocated to user equipment, and the resource allocation block indication information indicates that a resource allocation block is the FRB, where a resource occupied by the FRB is less than one RB, and notifying the user equipment of the resource allocation information and the resource allocation block indication information.
