1. A method of operating a network node to allocate resources on a downlink-shared channel of a telecommunication system, the method comprising:
assigning available physical resource blocks into localized resource blocks and distributed resource blocks for distributed transmission;
mapping a distributed virtual resource block to the distributed resource blocks by splitting the distributed virtual resource block into parts and mapping each part to a subunit of a corresponding one of the physical resource blocks that have been assigned for distributed transmission; and
transmitting information using distributed transmission on the downlink-shared channel, according to a determined position of a corresponding one of the physical resource blocks assigned for distributed transmission.
