Abstract
Embodiments of a wireless access network and method for allocation time and frequency resources are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a base station allocates contiguous groups of data subcarriers of a downlink subframe to closed-loop user stations, and allocates the remaining data subcarriers of the downlink subframe to open-loop user stations to increase frequency diversity.
