20 Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a unicast physical downlink shared channel (U-PDSCH) transmission and a group common physical downlink shared channel (GC-PDSCH) transmission;

determining a resource block (RB) configuration for decoding the U-PDSCH transmission and the GC-PDSCH transmission, wherein the RB configuration specifies a mapping of at least one of the U-PDSCH transmission and the GC-PDSCH transmission to one or more RB collections; and

decoding the GC-PDSCH transmission within a Common Frequency Resource (CFR) according to the RB configuration,

wherein a size and a location for the one or more RB collections is determined based at least in part on a common resource block (CRB) and a start and a size of the CFR.
