A method and wireless communication network that employs adapted control channel information to facilitate centralized and distributed scheduling of network resources for a network with mobile communication devices of differing bandwidth capabilities are described. The method includes transmitting control channel data of a first format over a control channel, wherein the control channel data of the first format conveys information related to data transmitted within a first frequency band and transmitting control channel data of a second format over the control channel, wherein the control channel data of the second format conveys information related to data transmitted over one or more frequency bands, the one or more frequency bands having a combined bandwidth equal or greater than the first frequency band.
