Method and Apparatus for Scheduling User Equipments Based on Levels Thereof in Mobile Communication System

摘要

Provided are a method and apparatus for scheduling user equipments. The apparatus for allocating resources to UEs may include: a communication unit to send and receive data to and from one or more UEs; and a control unit to perform a process of determining the first maximum throughput based on channel quality information received from one or more UEs and UE levels, performing a first-stage sorting operation on a list of UEs based on the first maximum throughput and average throughput, performing, when there are two or more UEs that have the same UE level and are adjacent in the list, a second-stage sorting operation on those UEs based on the channel quality information, and allocating resources to at least one UE in the list. Accordingly, when UEs having different UE levels compete for resources, it is possible to increase the overall throughput of the base station.

1. A method for resource allocation via a base station (ENB) to allocate resources to user equipments (UEs), the method comprising:
determining a first maximum throughput for each UE based on channel quality information received from one or more UEs and UE levels; performing a first-stage sorting operation on a list of the UEs based on the first maximum throughput and an average throughput of each UE; performing, when there are two or more UEs that have same UE level and are adjacent in the list, a second-stage sorting operation on the UEs that have the same UE level and are adjacent in the list based on the channel quality information; and allocating resources to at least one UE in the list based on a result of the second-stage sorting operation.
