Apparatus and method for estimating size of map message in broadband wireless communication

摘要

A resource allocation method of a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes estimating a size of a MAP message, and evaluating a size of an available burst allocation region according to the estimated size of the MAP message and allocating bursts in the evaluated-sized burst allocation region. Accordingly, when a DownLink (DL) subframe is used by being divining into a plurality of regions according to a burst characteristic, a throughput can be improved without waste of resources by estimating a resource amount occupied by a MAP message in the DL subframe.

1. A resource allocation method of a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining a maximum resource amount for data allocation based on a resource amount required to transmit a MAP message, wherein the MAP message includes resource allocation information of at least one Packet Data Unit (PDU); estimating a size of the MAP message by comparing the maximum resource amount for data allocation and a resource amount required to transmit the at least one PDU; evaluating a size of an available burst allocation region according to the estimated size of the MAP message; and allocating bursts in the evaluated-sized burst allocation region.
