8. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the WTRU comprising:
a processor operatively coupled to a transceiver, the processor and transceiver configured to receive a downlink control transmission in a first bandwidth portion of a cell bandwidth, wherein the downlink control transmission includes downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes resource block allocation information, wherein a size of the resource block allocation information is based on a number of resource blocks of the first bandwidth portion; and
the processor and transceiver configured to receive a data transmission in a set of resource blocks of a second bandwidth portion of the cell, wherein the resource block allocation information includes a starting resource block index and a length of a number of contiguous resource blocks, wherein the set of resource blocks is determined by scaling up the starting resource block index and the length of the number of contiguous resource blocks by a value greater than one based on a bandwidth of the second bandwidth portion, and wherein the second bandwidth portion is larger than the first bandwidth portion.
