Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A transmitting device may identify resource blocks (RBs) used to transmit data in a data transmission. The transmitting device may determine a frequency width of a data channel in a frequency domain that is used to transmit the data based at least in part on the identified RBs. The transmitting device may dynamically determine an allocation of RBs used to transmit control information in a control channel. The allocation of RBs may be based on the frequency width of the data channel and may cause a frequency width of the control channel to match the frequency width of the data channel in the frequency domain. The transmitting device may transmit the control information in the control channel to indicate a location of the data channel.
