1. A method performed by a first wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message, wherein the RRC message indicates a set of resource blocks and includes information to determine at least one location within the set of resource blocks, the set of resource blocks including a plurality of locations indicating time-frequency orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) resource assignments for a plurality of WTRUs including the first WTRU;
processing at least one location within the set of resource blocks for one or more resource assignment messages for the first WTRU, wherein a first resource assignment message of the one or more resource assignment messages is associated with a persistent allocation of resources and indicates activation of a resource;
transmitting a plurality of uplink signals in a plurality of time intervals based on the indicated activation of the resource;
processing at least one location within the set of resource blocks, in a subsequent time interval than the set of resource blocks having the first resource assignment message, for one or more resource assignment messages including a second resource assignment message for the first WTRU, wherein the second resource assignment message indicates deactivation of the resource;
deactivating the transmitting of the plurality of uplink signals of the resource based on the indicated deactivation; and
receiving at least a third resource assignment message for the first WTRU, wherein the third resource assignment message changes a resource assignment associated with the first WTRU having the persistent allocation of resources.
