Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to wireless communications, and more particularly, to apparatus and methods for allocating resources. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of wireless communication technology, a wide range of wireless communication services appear, but the radio frequency spectrum on which wireless communication depends is limited. As bandwidth demands increase, the frequency ranges of 300 megahertz (MHz) and 3 gigahertz (GHz) in which traditional commercial communication systems typically operate are difficult to meet market demands for future wireless communication systems. [0003] In future wireless communication systems, for example, new radios, the carrier frequency may be higher than in conventional communication systems. For example, future wireless communication systems may operate at frequencies of 28GHz, 45GHz and up to 100GHz. Due to the large attenuation of electromagnetic waves caused by...
