Apparatus and method for controlling data transfer rate on reverse link in mobile communication system

摘要

A mobile communication system is provided. A base station includes: a measuring unit for measuring loads of all mobile stations existing within a sector; a first computation unit for computing a sector load by using a Rise Over Thermal (ROT) of the sector; a second computation unit for computing an interference factor, which is a ratio of an interference load caused by an adjacent sector to a corresponding sector load, by using the load of each mobile station and the sector load; and a determining unit for predicting a sector load depending on variation of a reverse data transfer rate of a target mobile station by using the interference factor and for determining the reverse data transfer rate of the target mobile station in a range where the predicted sector load does not exceed a sector threshold load.
