1. A method for wireless communications performed by a base station (BS), comprising:
determining a first interleaved mapping that maps a first interleaving unit of N consecutive first virtual resource blocks (VRBs) to N consecutive first physical resource blocks (PRBs), wherein N is greater than one, wherein each first PRB comprises a plurality of resource elements, wherein the first interleaved mapping maps each interleaving unit of a plurality of interleaving units to a corresponding PRB bundle of a plurality of PRB bundles, wherein each PRB bundle of the plurality of PRB bundles has N PRBs, and wherein indices of the N consecutive first VRBs are different from indices of the N consecutive first PRBs;
transmitting a first grant allocating the first interleaving unit of N consecutive first VRBs to a first user equipment (UE), wherein the first grant allocates the plurality of the interleaving units; and
communicating with the first UE via the N consecutive first PRBs mapped to the N consecutive first VRBs of the first interleaving unit.
