  • Patent number: 8068471
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for scheduling multiuser terminals in a communication system is provided. A receiver receives feedback information from a plurality of user terminals. A user grouping unit selects terminals having a maximum Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) among terminals having the same beam index and beam subset index, from among the plurality of user terminals, and generates terminal groups using the selected terminals, each terminal group including terminals having the same beam subset index. A group scheduling unit calculates a throughput of each of the terminal groups to determine which terminal group has the maximum throughput. A random precoding unit generates random beam vectors corresponding to terminals included in the terminal group determined to have the maximum throughput, and transmits data for user terminals, included in the terminal group determined to have the maximum throughput, over the generated random beam vectors.

  • Patent number: 8014784
    Abstract: A method and system for allocating a channel are provided in a communication system including a plurality of Mobile Stations (MSs) and Base Stations (BSs) for providing a communication service to the plurality of MSs. A BS transmits an average Channel Quality Information (CQI) request to MSs. The MSs measure CQI with respect to their channels in response to the request from the BS, compute average CQI from the measured CQI, and transmit the average CQI to the BS. The BS selects a predefined number of MSs according to the average CQI received from the MSs and sets an MS group. The BS transmits a CQI request to the MS group. The MSs of the MS group transmit the CQI to the BS. The BS receives the CQI from the MS group and allocates a channel according to the CQI.

  • Publication number: 20060094363
    Abstract: An orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) communication system. The system has a plurality of cells, divides an entire frequency band into a plurality of subcarrier bands in each cell, and has subchannels that are a set of a preset number of subcarrier bands, respectively. Interference from neighbor cells of the plurality of cells is predicted. A time interval in which interference is absent and a time interval in which the interference is present are classified according to the interference predicted from the neighbor cells. Transmit power is equally distributed and allocated to subchannels capable of being allocated in the time interval in which the interference is absent. Transmit power is adjusted and allocated for the subchannels capable of being allocated such that inference to the neighbor cells does not occur in the time interval in which the interference is present.
