In

LTE

Three

types

of

are

used:

One bit in the header is indicating if DCI formats 1, 2, 2A are of type 0 or type 1.
Type

0:

A number of resource blocks forms a resource block group (RBG). A bitmap indicates which RBG(s) is/are
allocated in the corresponding TTI. I.e. a group-wise addressing of resources is used. The number of PRBs
per group (RBG size) P depends on the cell bandwidth see Below table.

Type

1:

In type 1 allocation P RGB subsets are in use. There are 3 fields in the allocation to
address

single

PRBs

of

an

indicated

group.

Additionally

resource

allocation

shift

may be applied.

Type

2:

Contiguous allocations are made by type 2. The virtual RBs are localized or distributed. In case of 1A, 1B
or 1D the distributed version is signaled by a flag where for 1C this is always the case.
